Stuck on loading screen upon launching the game

I logged into the game 30mins before s5 started. no problem as usual. i downloaded the patch. i click play on steam. game opening , its last epoch wallpaper. it doesn’t advance. first time happening. Can’t find any solutions any help preciated.

i restarded steam , restarded pc , open LE as admin , tried steam -dx11 -dx12 commands. so far no luck. i have gtx 5070ti and its up to date. as i mentioned i opened the game at 18.30 ( 30 mins before s5 launch on my time )

edit : as i see few people on twitch , im Turkish , some people mentioned turkish characters showing as squares , or stuck at diamond loading screen. they fixed this by changin pc language settings to ENG ( US ) but as my pc has win11 single language edition i don’t have english on my pc.

Are you turkish? People are reporting issues with having your PC language in turkish. Change it to english.

just edited the post saying im turkish and seen some people on twitch mentioning this problem. my win11 is single language and can’t change sadly

Another user said that using VPN worked. Maybe try that?

You need to change your language and region settings in Windows.

i have cloud WARP as vpn , it didn’t work as well

my windows licence doesn’t support it. i mean i used to be able to play it without problem before patch. i shouldn’t be changing my pc/windows settings to another language to solve this issue its not indie game

It’s only meant as a temporary solution until they fix that. If you can’t change the language, you’ll have to wait for a hotfix.

EDIT: Just for debugging purposes, if you change it to true offline (in steam properties), can you launch the game? It’s supposed to work now via the regular client, but the offline one is still there, I think.

I absolutely agree, but because of this ridiculous error, you have to change your language and region. I’m not going to play this league for that reason alone! I’m just writing this to inform those who might still want to play despite it.
