Q: My Blitz app isn’t detecting League/champ select/live game!
With the League client on, does your Blitz app say “Offline” in the top bar?
If so, first, try restarting Blitz. Click onSettings (Top right corner Gear icon) -> Click on “Restart the app.”
If that doesn’t fix it, please check ALL of the following:
- If you’re from Garena OR you run your League client in Adminstrator, please quit Blitz and then run Blitz as Administrator.
- If you’re on Windows 7, make sure you’re using an Aero Theme and have also enabled Aero Preview/Peek, and then restart Blitz via Settings -> Restart the App.
- Everyone: Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed.
- Everyone: Make sure you have Microsoft Windows Universal C Runtime installed.
- After you’ve installed both of the above, restart your PC.
- Still not working? Check if your antivirus is blocking/quarantining a file called blitz_helper.exe.
- Still no luck? Join our Discord for help.
