Bug #: 30546
           Summary: League of Legends' patcher has anormal behavior.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Hello.

I'm not an expert of wine, but i tried to find how to let the LoL patch (this
window with a big button "Play") always work : because of some error (or not
implemented functions) in wine, the patcher stays blocked at 0% or 33% of
loading and the "Play" button stays in grey. I have to open it ten times to get
it function. But curiously when in write "WINEDEBUG=+ntdll" before the launch
command (wine "rads_user_kernel.exe" run lol_launcher 0.0.0.54
LoLLauncher.exe), the patcher function correctly.

That's why i think there is some error in the ntdll code (can't be sure on
something, i'm not a wine developper) and i report that painful bug (painful
because starting LoL with WINEDEBUG=+ntdll decrases the performances with
freezes of 1 sec or more ingame).

Cordially.

Please attach plain terminal output (without WINEDEBUG set).

This has something to do with a connection between the update server and the
launcher. Anyway it's just a guess . What if we can bypass the updates?
Something like running on the PC a virtual update server or simply modify the
launcher in a way that the play button is always available. That download part
is just a list that the game compares to it's own to see if it's up to date...

Same thing here, League of legends launched when I first intalled it but as I
was unable to close it in the normal way (LoL window is so big that the Gnome 3
top bar hides the X button and I am also unable to drag it elsewhere thanks to
that) so I had to close it with the X shaped cursor. 
Then after that it would not launch at all anymore and after a restart I am
stuck on the same problem, launcher is stuck on checking for patches or w/e.

Debugging window in PlayOnLinux shows this line getting spammed like 100 times
in a second when this bug occurs:
fixme:d3d:swapchain_gl_present Render-to-fbo with WINED3D_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP

Hey!

I fixed the problem for my self by just deleting every file in RADS folder
which is inside LOL instal directorty. Every log and versions file must be
deleted and then it will launch good.

In fact I think it's more like a thread/data transfer problem: inserting the
+ntdll debugging  channel slows the program (writing things in the console
needs time). Maybe the launcher is waiting for a message which was already sent
but that the launcher didn't receive at the right time.

You like erasing all things, don't you? Because your method is a bit extreme...
And this is only a work-around (by the way I don't know how you managed to
launch LoL without the rads subdir, which contains the core launcher), we are
trying here to _resolve_ a bug in Wine.

I guess he suggested to remove all rads_user_kernel.log* and
rads_lol_launcher.log files, and not RADS subdirectories

I did some logging with wireshark and WINEDEBUG:

When the launcher works or it stops at 33% these URLs get opened:
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/system/rads_user_kernel.exe.version
ll.leagueoflegends.com/pages/launcher/eune?lang=en
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client_config_eune/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/solutions/lol_game_client_sln/releases/releaselisting_EUNE

When it stops at 0%:
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/system/rads_user_kernel.exe.version
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/solutions/lol_game_client_sln/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
OR
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
ll.leagueoflegends.com/pages/launcher/eune?lang=en

Apparently the launcher can't load all URLs when it stops at 0% but it seems to
be working fine for 33% (at least with wireshark there are no errors).

Next I tried some logging with wine:
WINEDEBUG=+urlmon,+crypt,+secur32,+wintrust,+wininet,+winsock,+text,+seh,+chain

Stops at 0%:
http://pastebin.com/rwQx9HFh

Stops at 33%
http://pastebin.com/L2UM7M4F

When it works:
http://pastebin.com/9ds8JEJi

I did a diff between the log for 33% and 100% the only difference seems to be
that at one point the client receives 2089 bytes while in the working launcher
we get 1440 bytes + 667 = 2107. I tested it again with new logs but then it was
correct. So I have no clue and my logs don't help much I guess.

When I add +ntdll it really works more often. My workaround is deleting
RADS/projects/lol_air_client/releases/0.0.0.237/S_OK to force a recheck but
still it is not ideal...

The issue is not totally solved, since it still happens once in a while, but it
has been really mitigated for a few month.

It is not a wine bug, as it also affects windows user.Look :

http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2727844

http://forums.eune.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=663756

http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1603441

And any google result of "leagues of legends update stuck"

The fix for this error : go in RADS -> projects -> lol_air_client_config_euw ->
releases -> and here create a file called S_OK

Then the problem is solved.

This bug should be marked closed as Invalid.
