If you're getting the

RADS::User::PandoManager::start: StartPMB failed, returned error 6

error,

fix it by deleting any file inside ...RADS/projects/lol_air_client/ folder.

Delete something small. This will force the client to redownload it, and thus making the play button clickable.

Hello fellow linux users, I'm trying to follow that guide but I'm stuck at the first winetricks command.
First I had to importa a couple of .reg files with regedit, to make the installation start, but then after I use the winetricks vcrun2005 command a couple of windows open, the first one is simply one where I have to read and accept the eula, nothing wrong with that, but the second one is the following:
Error creating process <msiexec /i vcredist.msi>. Reason: File not found.

By googling I found few windows user had the same issue too, like in this thread
http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread...n-is-incorrect
and few more, but I have no idea what to do.
Any suggestions?
I would seriously LOVE your help guys, I'm sick of goin to windows just to play lol.
My distro, by the way, is Ubuntu 12.04

Great guide you have here! Just a suggestion: mention that it's for 32-bit operating systems. Also, I had to install this with wine 1.5, but everything else seemed flawless. The only problem is that the launcher is stuck at 33% and "Scanning files." Any ideas?

Edit: Ubuntu 12.04

LM13 Cinnamon user here.

Just wanted to report if you use PlayOnLinux and go to Testing and install LoL it works - kinda.
Without any tweaking it will start the game.

-Store doesnt work (black screen)
- In game purchases can be black or transparent background with icons at times.
- (Biggest concern) Latency for me seems to stick at 11 FPS which renders it totally unusable.

Im a linux noob and ive tried the other guides, but I couldnt get it to work or I obviously cant follow the directions right ;/. I hate switching to windows to play so if anyone has any help to offer for how I have it done or can make a guide for linux noobs who dont tweak or anything please let me know.

And I agree please sticky this!

I'm using Arch Linux 64 bits with KDE4, got the install folder from a Win XP 64 bits (a working one, I usually play there), and my Wine version is wine-1.5.7.
Did all the steps except that I couldn't install ie6 due to my 64 bits and I got an error in AdobeAir install through Winetricks (Note: command 'wine AdobeAIRInstaller.exe' returned status 4. Aborting.)

I tried running it in Win 7 and XP compatibility with no luck, the command line just gets stuck and provides no error message and the launcher never shows up.

Any thoughts?

With this post's instructions no, I've seen it on AUR but haven't tested it yet.
