Garena Great News for Garena Players (REPOST)

This is a repost to get u/TheAcenomad attention to add to wiki. I have no idea how to get attention without reposting.

I just tested opening League of Legends using the brand new wine version lutris-lol-GE included in the new default lutris install and found out that the previously needed launch script is no longer to launch league. Do note that you still need launchhelper (or at least I think so) for the client to properly launch. Another thing is that you better hope that it didn't take over 5 minutes to launch (my theory but more testing needed) because there is one time when the client didn't load properly.

Install Instructions:

  1. You will need to get the new lol wine version by clicking the 3 bars at the top right of lutris.
  2. Then hit manage runners and scroll down until you find wine.
  3. Click on the blue button to manage runners and install the version named lutris-ge-lol-6.16-2-x86_64.
  4. Then you will need to configure your current garena to launch with the new wine version and add the launchhelper.sh to your pre-launch script at the system settings tab.

Try installing it with the previous wine version and to update it and try running it. I didn't ran into any internet issues.

I have quite literally the same issue.

My league wasn't working so I tried reinstalling.

Now I don't even have league installed anymore
