Bugs:
Launcher Shop does not work without the hacked wine

My Failed Attempts: Don't try this if you are a normal user. It flat out breaks the game.

Fixing the shop by installing internet explorer and changing windows version to xp, then changing the certificate settings.
so far no change i have made worked. it looks like i need ie8 or ie9 these are known to not work with crossover.

There is a chance that by getting ie9 to work we can then fix the certificate problem, however there may be another workaround for this problem.

After this attempt all i managed to do was stop the game from loading.

"Could not connect to maestro" error which is commonly related to firewalls popped up.

also could not reconnect to game after crash.

I tried installing all of the xml parsers one by one to try fix the in-game shop as i know from experience from moding the game that it uses xml. this also did nothing.

This person found that it was hes graphics settings that was the issue however he ran windows by the looks of it.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3343608

I will need to make some logs to see whats happening when it crashes.

So far the game runs just as this person describes however there running the mac version maybe some answers can be found following this lead.

I dont think its so much the certificate issue but rendering the webpage.
I get certificate issues on my windows machine now and then along with session timeouts, but the page renders.
I personally think its something to do with the html engine or adobe air displaying the page. correctly.

Just my observations.

How in crossover, did you patch it so the ingame shop works?

I think I know why we are getting certificate errors. I believe they are Date and Time related.

There is a known issue with lol and getting certificate errors if your computers date and time are off.

I have not yet found a way to configure the date and time in Wine, as those control panel modules are missing. Also, if you try and run the date and time command it comes back as a invalid command. My theory is the LOL app can not read the date and time properly from wine and is thus throwing the certificate errors. However, I have no way to confirm this at this time.

any comments or suggestions are welcome.

I should not I believe this is the issue because I set all the known registry keys in windows to ignore certificate errors and I still get the errors popping up from LOL.

Sorry for the late reply
https://github.com/A-Metaphysical-Drama/LoL-Linux-Tools
is how you get the ingame shop to work

Not a problem. I thought that only fixed the icons though, Not the shop actually crashing when you clicked on it.
I will try it soon as I get a chance.

Yeah your right sorry. this one is it https://bitbucket.org/Xargoth/tuxlol/wiki/Home

GOT LEAGUE TO WORK !!. But with out ingame store....Kind of important.

So far, the only thing you have to do is create a new win7 bottle in crossover.
Install the following from crossover database:

C++ 2005 SP1
Directx Modern Runtime
Adobeair

Switch bottle to xp from bottle config menu
install Internet Explorer 7 and 8 from crossover database.

Change bottle back to win7

Should be able to install now.
I copied from a previous install to save time.
Then ran LOL_LAUNCHER_ADMIN.exe

Everything worked, rune pages, mastieris abilitys etc. All icons.

Once in game though, clicking on the store crashes the game back to the launcher. As long as you dont use the store your fine :P

What's the error message?

@dablackfox: How about to write this setup as a tutorial in "Tips & Tricks" section? Please also say, if it's for mac, linux or both.

no error message. although I have yet to run in debugging mode.

I believe the issue is related to the store textures being used.
Normally in wine you would need to re-compile wine with this patch:

I have tried this, but the LoL installer freezes when it tries to copy the files to their install location. I am not sure how to get around this. Any pro tips would be great.

In my case it only appeared to freeze.
Let it go for a long time and it will finish.

If it doesnt, and you dont have windows, install virtual box. create a windows vm. download a copy of windows 7 from digital river.
Install windows in trial mode. Then install league. download then copy over to codeweavers.
Its a pain in the butt that way, but it does work. you cant play in a virtual box,( least I couldnt get it to work )

Also remember the in game store doesn't work once you do get it installed. Still waiting for a fix on that. If you get it working let me know ;)

I have let the LoL installer sit for about an hour in its frozen state. How long should it take? I will try to copy it from a windows machine and see if that works too.

I tried installing LoL on windows and copying it over. When I try to load it in the LoL Bottle it gives me an error and crashes "The Program LoLLauncher.admin.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. "

It is not frozen. I ran the launcher manually from terminal, and it does a lot of things, just a bit slow.
