Playing League of Legends on a school computer can be challenging due to network restrictions and system limitations.
I will show you a method that has worked for many students. This guide includes using a VPN and handling specific file requirements.
Before starting, you need to understand that school networks often block gaming ports and websites.
A VPN can help bypass these restrictions, but you should only use it for logging in. Playing with a VPN will cause high ping and poor game performance.
Here are the steps to play League of Legends on school computer:
- Get the complete Riot Games folder from your home computer or a friend's computer
- Download the d3dx9_39.dll file from a trusted source
- Copy this dll file to every "deploy" folder in the game directory
- Place the dll file in all folders under "solutions" that contain a "deploy" subfolder
- Put the dll file in the main launcher folder
- Start the game launcher
- Use a free VPN service to log in (turn it off before entering a game)
- Try logging in - if you get a "server busy" message, try again
- Create a custom game to test if everything works
- If the game crashes after champion select, check if you missed any folders when copying the dll file
Some important notes: Your first login attempt might be slow. The server busy message is normal - just try logging in again. If you see any game crashes, double-check all folder locations where you placed the dll file.
This method lets you play League of Legends during free time at school, but remember that game performance depends on the school computer's hardware.
Always check your school's computer use policies first.
The process might seem complex, but following these steps carefully will get the game running.
Many students have used this method successfully, and it addresses the common problems you might face when trying to play League of Legends on a school computer.
