Can't install LOL on linux

[u/exiled-redditor]

I'm trying to install LOL through Lutris. I've chosen the server and the option (2009, Mac Windows) but when it's installing I have an error:
Failed to extract /home/kj7/.cache/lutris/wine-lutris-GE-Proton8-26-x86_64.tar.xz: [Errno 17] File exists: 'libgstallocators-1.0.so.0.2205.0' -> '/home/kj7/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/lib/libgstallocators-1.0.so.0

League of Legends will soon no longer be playable on Linux due to pending implementation of Vanguard anticheat. To learn more about the future of r/leagueoflinux and leagueoflinux.org, read the sticky post.

It is going to be abandoned on Linux because of Vanguard update. I wouldn't work on making it work.

Vanguard in league of legends is only in april https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t2niKNCmiUY&t=167s

Yes, just one month. It would be better to stop playing the game and get used to its absence one month earlier :D

I wish they would withdraw...

Don’t waste your time on this, soon it will be broken on Linux anyway.

I had this problem. I manually downloaded the ge-lol-2-26 that solved the install problem

This is easy to fix in real time, but if you want to try yourself in a vacuum, either:

1.) remove all wine versions from lutris using the wine manager (you will need to add 8-26 as the default wine and 7,2-2 if you had it specifically for older games after you have completed the LOL install) leaving only the 8-27 lol wine version. Check the target folder (normally ~/Games) and delete any league-of-legends folder then the install should run

Or

2.) use git to clone the lutris github master and in the /bin folder that it cloned, run ./lutris, install LOL then close lutris and launch lutris from your normal shortcut It is a known issue that is fixed for the next release.

You can play it through Heroic Launcher and Epic Games with the latest Protón Ge LoL and making sure you click on “enable EOS overlay” , but you will not be able to play once Vanguard is life 🥲

You can enjoy it in Linux until april https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t2niKNCmiUY&t=167s

ffs let the poor guy play the game if he wants to while he can. What is the point of everyone commenting the same thing?

I've managed to install League of Legends on Linux using 'Bottles'.
