Regardless if you’re a League of Legends regular or not, planning a session only to be met with the Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error is always a nuisance.
The Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error has been with League of Legends for a while now, seemingly extending to Teamfight Tactics as well. Here’s what we know about a way to potentially fix the error.
League of Legends Something Unexpected Happened While Trying To Create Your Lobby Error
The Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error can occur in both League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, given how they use the same framework. As vague as the error’s description can be, it does pinpoint that the entire thing has to do with the League of Legends lobby system.
From what we can tell, the error occurs when trying to set up a lobby in either League of Legends or Teamfight Tactics after disconnecting from a previously made one. You’ll bump into the Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error when the game fails to register you’ve moved out of your initial lobby.
While there’s no surefire fix for the error, a relatively reliable workaround involves disconnecting from the internet, making sure the client registers you as such (by attempting to reconnect), and jumping back in. With a bit of luck, you’ll be able to go through with creating a lobby and getting into a match.
That being said, players do report going through the steps above and still getting the Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error.
As a universal fix is still lacking in spite of the error floating around for years, players have tried other solutions, like restarting the League of Legends client, repairing files or even reinstalling the game. For some, these proved to be temporary workarounds.
It’s, obviously, a good idea to check the game’s servers first when dealing with the Something unexpected happened while trying to create your lobby error, just in case.
Thankfully, in most cases, the error seems to be a temporary affair that can also be simply waited out, even if that doesn’t make it any less annoying.
