Great upload LameSaint, but do NOT download, there is no point in downloading this as of September 6th 2011, since Riot Games disabled this beta.

Just thought i'd let you know.

Thanks.

Hey guys, Tihzz is correct. Riot is blocking all Mac clients from accessing their servers starting today. I'm a little bit behind on this news, and only just found out, so within the next few hours I will have another torrent up for League of Legends on Mac.

If you would rather not wait, or would rather not download the whole game again, then there is a simple way to get your Mac client working.

1) Download the LoLlauncher.exe from here (http://zzj.itf-inc.com/downloads/LoLLauncher.exe)

2) Right click on your Mac League of Legends and choose "Show Package Contents"

3) Navigate to the /Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/rads/projects/lol_launcher/releases/0.0.0.33/deploy/

4) Take the LoLLauncher.exe that you just downloaded, and replace the LoLLauncher.exe in the deploy folder that you just navigated to with it.

5) Enjoy!

Again, for those of you who feel intimidated or just can't get this to work for yourself, I will have another torrent up in a couple of hours that you can download and will be playable.

...Why does this work? LOL.

The simple explanation of why this works is that Riot and Transgaming partnered up to make a "wrapper" for the League of Legends PC version. Removing the modified LoLLauncher.exe that came with the Mac beta leaves you with just the wrapper left, and inserting the LoLLauncher.exe from the download link fools the server into thinking you are playing on the windows client

Ah, so we will have to do this each time there is a patch? Do you just patch it on windows and use that .exe for the mac side?

Unfortunately that is not a question I will be able to accurately answer until a patch comes out and I can test it. I believe, however, that this will patch normally just like any other time.

LameSaint, you are the BEST!!!!!
Thanks to your quick fix I am now able to play LoL on my iMac!!!
I thought that my life was over after sept. 6 but no I was saved by a great man xD

Haha, well I'm glad my solution helped you warbest. Also, this fix will automatically update for anyone who was wondering. You don't have to manually patch the game after replacing the LoLLauncher.exe.

Hi LameSaint,

I made an updated version of LoL, that does not require any manual updates or patches.

You can get it here:

www.boompje.net

This has some major updates compared to this client, although I really like how you kept this torrent alive and helped many mac users! I've always redirected people to this client!

Hey Boompje! I've been a big fan of yours on the mac forums! You've really helped the mac community, and I respect that!

I just uploaded a new torrent too, but it is just a compressed version of my own game, pre-patched and modified. Had I known you had already posted a torrent, I wouldn't have even spent the time making mine and uploading it.

If you ever need anything, I would love to continue helping out the Mac LoL community! (E.G. if you need/want instructional videos but don't have the time, or whatever).

You might want to register there! We got a forum going on with the most prominent posters ;)

There is actually a better version (i think) of League of Legends for Mac out there guys.

You can find it here: http://boompje.webege.com/

This version has been updated by Boompje to have better performance, as well as to work after the shutdown.

Good luck!

Here is a solution to play LoL on Mac still after they closed the Beta.

Hey LameSaint. I've been trying to work this damn game out. First of all, I downloaded ur torrent, which needed the LoLLauncher.exe to be copied and replaced. I did this, updated the game, loaded it, and tried the tutorial. It loaded up but when the bar finished, it showed up with:
Transgaming C Runtime Library
['.\string_s.c' (700)]::mbstowcs_s(): ERROR-> invalid parameter! {expression = 'invalid MBS character'}

I then decided to download the boompje version. Finished downloading it but when it came to the installer, it said:
$INSTALLVOLUME/installer/INSTALLDATA.tgz

I have gone through the comments and looked at tips. One of them said to go to language and texts and change to english. Mine was already set to English but kept repeating this error. Please help me. I love this game and i really want to play it.

RE previous comment. Just installed boompje's version to main hard drive and is working. It is updating right now.

I will comment on any problems that may occur. Thanks for all the help in previous posts.

Since I have stopped using this version myself (and I suggest everyone else does the same and switches to the boompje edition), then I have no idea whether or not the solution proposed above (the one where you replace the launcher) even works anymore.

anyone here plays on garena messenger on mac? Where can I DL GM?

Is this 1.1.7?

sorry not 1.1.7
but 1.1.3?

Sweet! I've just received my free Riot Points!
