Disable User Account Control
User Account Control can sometimes block the League of Legends patcher from modifying files on your computer.
You can disable UAC by following Microsoft's instructions here.
Temporarily disable your Firewall/Anti-virus
We have contacted a large number of firewall manufacturers to identify League of Legends as a harmless application and add exceptions for League of Legends automatically. It is possible that your firewall simply needs the latest update from the manufacturer to apply these exceptions.
Please note: Some firewalls require an active subscription in order to receive the latest updates.
List of Firewall Manufacturers:
Turning off your Firewall(s):
The patcher downloads a large number of files to your computer, which can be misidentified as a threat by your firewall. Updating the firewall usually whitelists our patcher, otherwise you will need to temporarily disable your firewall.
Disable or turn off Third Party Firewalls
Unfortuantely, we cannot provide specific instructions for each firewall as many variations exist, but most firewalls allow themselves to be temporarily disabled by right clicking on their icon in the Windows tool bar (bottom right of the screen) and selecting the appropriate option.
- Click on Start
- Click on Control Panel
- Click on System and Security
- Click on Windows Firewall
- Click on Turn Windows Firewall on or off (You might need to provide the Administrator password at this step)
- Under each Network location, select the Turn off Windows Firewall option
Manually Install .NET Framework 3.5
.NET Framework is a software library developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. One of the dependencies of League of Legends is the .Net Framework 3.5. Even if you have 4.0, you may need to also have the 3.5 version installed to properly play League of Legends. You can download and install it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=21
Change from a wireless connection to a wired one
Wireless connections tend to be slower and more prone to interruptions then good old Ethernet cables.
You may notice a significant improvement in download speed and quality by switching to a wired connection.
