Riot Client black screen

[anonwins]

Hi, I have the black screen issue when running the riot client. The game download starts (I can see it in the network monitor) but the client remains black. Also my GPU doesn't support Vulkan. Is there some way to disable vulkan in the new update? Thanks

The previous version worked perfectly. I had 70 fps constant. Then, a week ago, it stopped working. Now I see there's a new version and all. Can anyone help with this? Thanks :)

I have success client working without dxvk locally will update league snap and wine snap with new changes I'm working on it.

[mmtrt]

Pushed builds please update and test clean install would be great I don't have faster internet to test this.

snap refresh --beta wine-platform-5-staging
snap refresh --edge --devmode leagueoflegends

Preferably clean install would be great if possible

snap remove --purge leagueoflegends

You rock!!! I'll let you know of the results

If you still get black client then have to do following manually.

Delete this dir

~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c/Riot Games/Riot Client

Then make changes to file this file

~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c/Riot Games/League of Legends/Config/LeagueClientSettings.yaml

Change this false to true

upgrade-ready: false

Save file and then launch game it should download riot client if launcher shows up after install then close it wait for a minute then relaunch game and login your account as usual and play.

Hi,

so, I did reinstall the snap, and this time it doesn't show anything. The riot client doesn't open window. There is only the systray icon. Pressing buttons on its menu does nothing. In the proccess monitor, I see the Rio UxRender launches but closes almost immediately, and relaunches, and again, etc.

Then I tried to edit the config file, but there's no upgrade-ready entry. Here's the file:

Thank you

That file entry wouldn't exist on new install as I had game install data from 2020 has it could be the reason.

Did tried this when installing game.

Fresh install snap make sure you have current version of snaps and follow these instructions after installing region of choice.

Wait for both downloads to finish. There are two downloads one after the other: the client download (~180MB) and the game download (~2.9GB).

Do NOT enter your login details and login or click play, instead just quit the launcher when the two downloads have finished. Then usually start game in login your account.

I did all that, I left it downloading all night. Previously I didn't have wine-platform-5-staging but I installed it along with leagueoflegends.

When I start leagueoflegends from terminal, it prints this message every 1 second:

X Error:  GLXBadFBConfig
Request Major code 153 (GLX)
Request Minor code 0 ()
Error Serial #232
Current Serial #232

edit: I have a Gigabyte 6870 OC. It's an old one, like 10 years old, but it's a monster. It has 3 fans on it and stuff. Anyway, yeah, I'm not on Nvidia or newer AMD.

glx-info reports:

OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.2.1
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 21.2.1
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 21.2.1

Ah classic glx driver issue which gpu you have do you have i386 driver pkgs install for this gpu.

I can't find how to do that..

I installed kisak-mesa packages yesterday but they broke my X & desktop and I had to remove them and re-install X and kde-desktop. It took me all day. Anyway, is there a command I could try? I'm on AMD Barts

VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barts XT [Radeon HD 6870] Thank you very much

Try this before launch command leagueoflegends in terminal.

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5

EDIT: also post info of snap info wine-platform-runtime

[anonwins]

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5

After this, the riot client starts and has black screen. Also a message comes which says "the process unidentified crashed here is error report" backtrace.txt

also post info of snap info wine-platform-runtime

Try runtime from beta

[anonwins]

Man, you're a living god. Even if that doesn't succeed, I really appreciate your help. I'll let u know soon

[anonwins]

Ok I refreshed to beta. It still shows black riot client though, and the unhandled exception.

Here is the last output:
