I'm trying to install League of Legends through Playonlinux on Ubuntu 16.04. I'm starting with wine & playonlinux totally uninstalled, and following these directions: How to install League of Legends in Ubuntu

When I try and launch the game through playonlinux, it gets most of the way through the installation and then crashes and gives a popup: "The program LolPatcher.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Here's the playonlinux output in the terminal just prior to and then at the crash: [POL_System_CheckFS] Message: Checking filesystem for lol.launcher.admin.exe [POL_Wine] Message: Running wine-1.9.2-LeagueOfLegends5 lol.launcher.admin.exe (Working directory : ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/LeagueOfLegends/drive_c/Riot Games/League of Legends) [POL_Wine] Message: Notice: PlayOnLinux deliberately disables winemenubuilder. See http://www.playonlinux.com/fr/page-26-Winemenubuilder.html [POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0 wine: Unhandled exception 0x40000015 in thread 52 at address 0x74121d (thread 0052), starting debugger...

I've googled the error [POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0 wine: Unhandled exception 0x40000015 in thread 52 at address 0x74121d (thread 0052), starting debugger... but pretty much every solution is "reinstall playonlinux" and I've tried that 3 times now with no success.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I use q4wine and winetrix.

create a 32 bit XP prefix.

install: adobeair, directx9 and vcruntime 2015.

set dll override:msvcp140 and vcruntime140.

install LOL, or copy the riot games folder from another installation

make your launcher with q4wine

Note:client renderer randomly hangs. just end process and relaunch

PS: I'm using wine 2.01

I ended up going with Lutris. It works well right off the bat - I never managed to get anything else to work. https://lutris.net/
