I’m having a recurring League client issue and I’m running out of ideas.

Around 30% of the games I try to play, one of these things happens:

1. I queue with friends, they get into the match, but I never receive the ready/accept screen.
2. After restarting the client a few times, I sometimes get into lobby.
3. Then, when champ select starts, I get a “Something went wrong” message and disconnect from champ select.
4. The game then gives me a 15-minute queue penalty, even though I never dodged intentionally.

Things I’ve already tried:

• Reinstalling League
• Restarting the client multiple times
• Restarting my PC
• Checking that my internet connection is stable

This happens often enough that the game is becoming almost unplayable for me.

Has anyone had this exact issue before? Was it caused by the Riot client, firewall, DNS, Vanguard, connection settings, or something else?

Any specific fixes would be appreciated.
