This snap is Devmode atm so it is posted only for testing purpose and it is only meant for development or testing at this point. As a consequence ( This snap will not refresh automatically and may perform arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox snaps are generally confined to,
which may put your system at risk ) and this may change in the future when this snap is fit for confinement change.
Introduction
This snap is using the wine-platform which helps in reducing the snap size and it is using the wine-base-staging to use the latest changes released from winehq.
On first run of snap it will ask to select the game installer region with choices of: NAEUWEUNEBRJPLANLASOCERUTR
Install
snap install leagueoflegends --edge
Feedback
Provide feedback and report the issues as they happen.
Why this snap is released as devmode?
Because the game crashes when match starts after champ select.
Following denials when game crashes.

Hi, I dont really understand what do you mean with the text below:
Does this mean that the game is not playable?
I’m aware that since League of Legends 8.12 (summer 2018) Riot release an anti-cheat update which was causing the game to crash on launch (see League of Legends boards: Game client anti-cheat known issues and fixes)
But I believe there is a workaround (some people in Lutris says it is working and Wine HQ LOL website says the fix is staged)
In any case, I’ve managed to install the game properly, but the game crashes before the login screen, right after champion select (the same that was happening right after Riot released the anti-cheat update).
I’m new to snap, but I’m experienced with Linux, if anyone could give me a hint I could investigate more.
Not necessarily, this only means that the snap currently can’t be put into strict confinement due to technical difficulties, refer Snap confinement for more info.
Yeah those issues and crashes are when this was on strict confinement during my testing so this snap is on devmode you don’t need worry about these issues atm though logs posted are for dev purpose or asked about them in anycase and you can post issues here but you should post them on git-hub where snap changes are added/removed.
I’m not at all happy about you doing a “call for testing” for a devmode snap. If it’s devmode, it’s not ready for broader testing.
Worse, by telling people outright to install with --devmode, you’re denying them the opportunity of reading the warning,
The publisher of snap “leagueoflegends” has indicated that they do not consider this
revision to be of production quality and that it is only meant for development or testing at
this point. As a consequence this snap will not refresh automatically and may perform
arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox snaps are generally confined to,
which may put your system at risk.
This did not work for me. I tried even downloading trough lutris but there even LoL client does start. Right now for Fedora you snap packages is best one.
If you don’t have wine install on your system then you will need wine deps for fedora and for other distros and if you use Nvidia then install its i386 gl packages, I don’t know which packages fedora uses.
If above does not work for you then you have to setup Windows VM or Windows partition whichever you prefer to download and update game then transfer it to snap WINEPREFIX.
Well, I had problems in Fedora, even with docker and postgresSQL and decided to distro hop to ubuntu and now everything is working. The game is a bit laggy on my old laptop but good fun.
It’s worked for me with fewer problems than Windows for the last 6 months. Now with the update last week, when I open the launcher I get the message “We’re unable to log you in because you may be offline.”
Last month I got a popup alerting that Riot Games was ending support for Windows XP, which Wine is using, so that is probably related to the issue.
Maybe wineprefix broken I had many reverts and updates to wine-platform snap could have caused issue, so try recreating fresh wineprefix also make sure you have backup you game folder then restore it after launching snap then close dialog where it asks for game region.
LOL worked yesterday, won’t today. Title graphic won’t come up. I uninstalled and reinstalled snapd and leagueoflegends, and now it asks me to choose download location, acts like it downloads the game, and then disappears.
If you have fresh install league snap edge then you have to install wine-platform snap from edge as well in order run why this because yesterday I’ve pushed a change which changes snap base from core16 to core18.
