When that file starts interrupting with your gameplay experience through errors, you'll need to\u00a0repair your\u00a0League\u00a0installation. While you'd usually need to totally reinstall a game to get rid of a corrupted file, that is not the case in\u00a0League\u00a0as Riot Games has a handy repair tool. The\u00a0Hextech Repair Tool\u00a0has been around since\u00a0League's\u00a0early days, allowing players to run a diagnostic on files. If the program detects a corrupted file, it'll replace it automatically. How to use the Hextech Repair Tool to repair your\u00a0League\u00a0installation League's\u00a0Hextech Repair Tool tool has a simple user interface. All of its features will be listed on its main screen, and you can use the following configurations to\u00a0repair\u00a0League. Go to\u00a0Riot's League\u00a0support article\u00a0for Hextech Repair. Download it for your operating system. On Windows, it'll download as \"Windows Installer Package\" or \".msi.\" Run the Hextech Repair Tool. Choose Force Repatch. Click on Start and let the Hextech tool do its magic. If you continue to receive errors after running the Hextech Repair Tool and even forcing a repatch, you can also enable the Reinstall option. I prefer a manual\u00a0uninstallation\u00a0and a reinstalling process, if I absolutely have to take that route since it allows me to ensure there aren't any leftover files before my previous installation of\u00a0League. The only times I had to do a complete reinstall were after moving\u00a0League\u00a0to a new drive. Note, repairing\u00a0League\u00a0won't fix any network-related errors, but it's one of the most effective tools against most\u00a0League error codes, which seem to pop up quite often.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/teemo-league-of-legends.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074380"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1802"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1074380"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1074399,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074380\/revisions\/1074399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1074383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1074380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1074380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1074380"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1074380"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1074380"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1074380"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1074380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
