Overview
- On January 4, players across Europe and North America reported login failures, and Riot acknowledged an issue preventing some users from accessing the game.
- Coverage and client checks linked the disruption to an expired SSL certificate that blocked secure connections.
- Service resumed after Riot renewed the certificate, which players report now remains valid until 2125.
- Ranked queues were temporarily disabled while Riot worked on a fix.
- Some users briefly bypassed errors by rolling back their system clock, a temporary workaround noted by players and reporters.
