Getting Started - Setup and Install
Where do I download this game?
1. You can download this game here.
What are Minimum System Requirements?
2. You can find both the Minimum and the Recommended System Requirements here.
I accidentally made my account on the wrong server!
3. It is not possible to transfer accounts between servers here in PH, you will need to create a new account in the correct region.
Post Patch Patcher Problems
I get Update Failed, Error Code 0xc1e90006
1. You don't have enough hard drive space available on your install drive or in your temporary internet files drive, this is blocking the full patch from downloading in order to install in this case you'd need to make room on your hard drive.
2. You have internet security software that's interfering with the patch process. This could be an anti-virus/anti-spyware program, software firewall, or child-safety programs like Safe Eyes.
You'll need to disable the interfering program or make an exception for League or the specific file getting stuck in the safety filter. You may also need to do your windows updates.
3. Your internet connection is having issues and is unable to completely download the patch which then errors out when it tries to install.
In this case an easy fix is sometimes just to restart your computer and modem. However if that doesn't work, you'll need to get a stable internet connection that can fully download the patch, this can be caused by a number of issues, you'll need to figure out what exactly on your line is causing the connection problem. This may also include fixing or removing a network administration/proxy or other connection blocks on restricted networks like University Internet Connections (which may be able to be bypassed with hotspot shield).
I get a PVP.net Fatal Error (Something like "0001: mod.rds.cmrds has an undefined dependency" or "0005: mod.ser_mock")
1. Go to \Apps\lolph\Air\mod\
2. Delete the rds folder.
3. Launch League of Legends PH.
If you see the "mock" folder instead of the "rds" folder:
1. Go to \Apps\lolph\
2. Search for "mock" (file/folder should be similar to "ser_mock")
3. Delete the folder NOT the files.
4. Launch League of Legends PH.
If the method above didn't work:
1. Re-install League of Legends PH
2. Launch League of Legends PH
Patcher Stuck at 33% / 99%, Other general solutions
1. Completely restart your computer and try patching again, make sure you've given the patcher a reasonable amount of time as sometimes it will appear "stuck" at a certain percentage even though it's working. (Please note this may take up to a few hours or more for some players with limited connections or regional issues)
2. Power cycle your router and modem. If your internet connection is having intermittent issues it can improperly "filter" off the traffic from the patcher. Normally, this will be some settings on the PC side and restarting your PC will fix it right up. Sometimes, this issue is on the router/modem side which means even after restarting your PC, the same problem occurs. Power cycling your router and modem means you unplug both devices from their power source, wait about 5 minutes, plug in your modem, wait for the lights to all light up properly, plug in your router, wait for all the lights to all light up properly, and you're on your way again. You may want to restart your PC after taking these steps.

6. Temporarily disable firewall and anti-virus software, especially for anti-virus software, after a patch it may no longer recognize your old LoL executables as safe (this is doubly true for non-mainstream (not Norton/McAfee) antivirus software).
Patchers with with this error or some of the error messages above are sometimes caused by corrupted download files. If this is the case you can try:
1. Re-installing LoL PH - it can be a pain, but it should work right away.

2. Unfortunately, this means that these issues happen on a case-by-case basis and it's hard to offer a fix on the forums.
3. Some basic things to try include, updating your DirectX, Video Card Drivers, Microsoft Dot NET Frameworks, Windows Updates, Re-installing LoL PH.
4. As mentioned, because these issues are system specific they are difficult to address on the forums. If you need additional help please make sure you submit your BugSplat report, follow up with a thread in the Support Section and include your DxDiag report.
I have a leave, but it wasn't on purpose
1. The leave system was always intended to flag disconnects for any reason. Even if you didn't rage quit, you still get a leave.
2. If you acquired a leaver mark due to circumstances beyond your control, (including disconnections, game crashes, etc.) unfortunately it is not possible to remove leaver marks from individual player accounts.
I was banned what do I do?
1. There are several types of bans ranging from temporary suspensions to permanent account bans, you should automatically receive an e-mail with ban information and terms if this occurs.
2. If you want to find out more or feel you have been unjustly banned, please make a thread in the Support Section.
Post Game Issues
I didn't get any IP from the game I played
1. Were you playing a practice (custom) game? After too many custom games in a short period will greatly reduce or eliminate IP or XP from those game types.
2. Make a thread in the Support Section with your username, UID, IGN, when you played and what happened.
My game crashes after I finish a match / It says I'm still in game
1. If you're in Vista or Windows 7 it may have just minimized, also a known issue
2. You may need more system resources (RAM). You should have at least 2 gigs
3. Avoid clicking the "Skip Waiting for Stats" button, or give the server time to synchronize
