I have a problem that started yesterday and I don't know how to fix it, that's why im writing here. My client wont start, I click at the League Of Legends Launcher, the icon shows up and the process start but then it just close down and I can't do anything about it. When I open LoL after the patch, I can't get past the LoL Launcher. I click the League of Legends icon, get the launcher up, click play, and nothing happens. The launcher just disappears. League of Legends doesn't show up on my Cmd+Alt+Esc window, and when I try to launch it again it tells me that 'Another instance of the launcher is running. Having a grey Play button is likely caused by one of three things: • An issue with the Alpha client • An outdated client that needs updating • A server side issue with the client/game Luckily, most of these issues are pretty easy to fix. Let's go over them! How to Fix Greyed Out Play Button in League of Legends If it's an issue with the Alpha client. A few months back, Riot created a new client for the game. This menu is where you launch games from, see your friends list, and access various other League-related things. You can tell whether or not you're running on the new client by seeing what it looks like. Here's the difference: OLD CLIENT NEW CLIENT If you're using the second one, that could be the issue. The client itself, despite being the more default version at this point, is still being tested. Luckily, the old client is still available -- so this could be a simple way to resolve the problem.

If your client is outdated and needs updating. If you know the servers are working, and you know that you're not running a buggy version of the new client, then it's likely that you simply need to update your current client so that it can run the game or patch to the latest version. Updating your client is easy. Just restart your client (or your computer) and an auto-update should begin on its own. But on the off chance that it doesn't, you can always download the newest version of the client directly from the League of Legends website. If it's a server side issue with the client or game. It's absolutely possible that the client won't let you in because the League servers are down. If this is the issue, there's not a whole lot you can do about it. While it's frustrating, all you can really do is wait. But rest assured that Riot won't allow a server blackout to go on for too long. To make sure that this isn't the issue, you can check the to make sure all servers are online and ready to go. Taking a look at that page now, we see that servers are running just fine. ![]() Sadly, there isn't much more information regarding this issue on the League of Legends subreddit or the official forums.
