Greetings. I've played DotA since the day it came out, and I can't wait to try this game out.
I've made an account, downloaded and installed the game with everything needed without any problems.
I am at a universe, and games are blocked. I bought PingFu which works perfectly, and played wc3 online without any problems aswell.

The problem I get with LoL, is that the .exe file don't work, the icon for LoL comes up but dissapeares after 1 sec and nothing happens, I can't start the game through the lancher, as it won't be through pingfu then.
I'm pretty sure that if I can start the game from the .exe file I can play it.
So how can I start the game directly through the .exe file without going through the lancher first?
I really want to try this game out, hope you got a solution for it!

Regards
Sotras

Unfortunately it is impossible to run the game without running the launcher first. lol.launcher.exe must be kept open during a pvp.net session to maintain your connection to our servers. Once pvp.net closes and the game client (the exe you're talking about) opens, the launcher idles (and could theoretically be closed), but it is impossible to enter into a game without going through pvp.net.

Do you have any idea how to get PingFu working with LoL then? When I try to logg on, I get this error:
Connection error. Unable to connect to the pvp.net server.

I read a post by someone playing LoL with AutotunnelGG or what it's called, but as I get it pingfu and autotunnelGG is as good as the same thing.
I don't expect you to know it, just asking incase you might :-)

Thanks for replay!

I too am interested in seeing LoL Work with pingfu, as I am frequently on networks that need a bit of tunneling to play games like LoL or WoW.
