To repair League of Legends you don’t need to have an illustrious degree in computer science, nowadays, most of the solutions related to video games can be achieved using a series of general or specific methods.
In the case of LoL there are ways you can apply to make it work again. From the simplest and global ones, to the specific ones, which require the support of tools developed by Riot Games.
Repair League of Legends by applying common system related solutions
Sometimes, you may find that the reason a game doesn’t work, specifically LoL, is because of an inconsistency on the system you’ve installed it on. Usually it is Windows.
This particular software is supported by many drivers and programs that allow better support for games, such as external libraries (DX, XNA), even the drivers of the installed GPUs.
Update the video driver
One of the reasons why the game can present errors is caused by an obsolescence in the video driver of your card, so, in order to repair League of Legends, you must update the driver.
This is achieved from the card developer page, for example, if your GPU was built by Nvidia, or if it is any Geforce, you can enter the graphics drivers site that it has through its official page.
You just have to fill in all the fields with the relevant information, and the platform will take care of locating the most current version of your GPU. It should be noted that this is the only recommended way to download the software for your Nvidia card.
Update your operating system and keep your drivers up to date
In order to repair League of Legends, all you have to do is update all the drivers on your computer. If you have Windows 10, the Update utility of this system can offer you a quick solution.
You get to activate the update process from the system settings, which you can find by pressing the Start menu. Next, on the gear-shaped button on the right side.
Then, in the pop-up window, choose Update & Security, then Windows Update. Finally, Check for Updates so that you can scan for and install the latest versions.
This solution can be of great help to you when League of Legends presents you with the message that you cannot play because the game is under maintenance.
Game-specific solutions
Now, if the solution is not found in making improvements to the system. So the root of the problem can be found in LoL itself, that is, in the files of the installation folder.
Luckily, all is not lost, and it is still possible to repair League of Legends by applying some techniques that the developer company itself has pulled out of its sleeve, and has recommended to users who suffer from these eventualities.
Install the game again
It may seem like a simple fix and a bit absurd. But, if the problem lies in the corruption of the files, either due to update failures or any other related to them. This is an ideal way to correct it.
To do this, you just have to enter the League of Legends page, log in and then follow the steps indicated to download the client. When you start it (as administrator) it will take care of renewing all the game files successfully, correcting any problem that exists.
Use the Riot Games Repair Tool
But, there is another very effective way to repair the game without downloading and reinstalling the program again. This is a tool, and it goes by the name ‘Hextech’, a repair software from Riot Games.
You can find this on the developer’s official website, specifically in the support section, and it’s available for Windows or Mac that, when run, identifies existing errors and tries to repair them.
There will be times when you will run into more complex errors that cannot be fixed with the tools we gave you earlier. Problems such as the master error require more complex solutions or when you try to update the game and it gives you an update error or it simply does not allow you to update it.
