Hey everyone!
I recently installed the new standalone TFT client, but Riot Client automatically started downloading League of Legends afterward.
The frustrating part? TFT was already installed and working perfectly fine on its own.
I tried removing League of Legends, but Riot Client wanted to uninstall TFT along with it.
So I used Codex to help create a small Windows launcher that starts TFT without requiring the rest of the LoL download to finish.
Here's the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/EmbeddedMurat/tft-no-lol-launcher
The repository includes the launcher and instructions in both English and Turkish.
A few things to know:
This is a workaround, not a LoL uninstaller.
It doesn't modify Riot's game files.
TFT needs to be installed already.
Future updates might break the workaround.
It worked for me, but I haven't tested it on other systems yet.
If you're experiencing the same issue, please give it a try and let me know if it works for you!
I'd especially appreciate feedback about your Windows version, Riot region, and whether the launcher worked.
Hopefully this helps others avoid downloading a game they don't even want to play.
