Alright so I found an active link that let me download the LoLDownloader for Macs. When I try opening the application, it closes immediately. Now, I have been trying all this garbage to get it to work.

Anyone know anything about this to fix it?

The problems could be that fact that it's an iMac from '07 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 (No Snow Leopard or Lion) and no Microsoft Office equivalent. Basically the computer is old and useless, but it's the fastest computer in the house, which is why I am so interested.

Who knows anything on this subject?

If you havnt tried this already, try to run it as a Adminstrator.
How to do this:
  • Rightclick on the downloader
  • Run as adminstrator

:lol:




Sounds to me like a GFX issue. Click the apple in the top left and check About This Mac then More Info to see what your graphics card is. If it's an intel GMAX3100 or 900 then it won't be able to run :( I don't know about LoL but I've gotten some other games to work by installing the windows version and running it through wine

When I right click, nothing of the sort shows up. Maybe because I am the admin of the computer?

I didn't look into it yet but this is what I saw and it is swaying me away from even trying it.

It is not a graphics issue.

I Don't suggest playing League of Legends on a crossover program, it is inefficient and causes a very heavy load on your computer. I tried initially

Ignore it, he's getting a +1.


I answered this for you last night:
Riot closed down the download links, it is a CLOSED beta, and therefore they are shutting down any links that come up. It becomes open from time-to-time.
You can TRY following the guide I gave you last night, as it does work sometimes for SOME people - I've seen people get past that and link to another download server, but otherwise it's something riot is doing on their end.

I've helped about 15 people set this up, and this exact problem happened to 2 or 3.
