Game freezing whilst loading in/Game not appearing after champ select. [minor fix found]

I've seen a few threads from people reporting that the game isn't loading in after champ select or that it freezes in the loading screen, even in ranked games, causing them to miss games or even worse lose LP for absolutely for no reason. Whilst it would be easy to trash Riot for not even taking notice of this bug let alone respond, I am going to provide an easy way to temporarily get around this issue for the mean time. Hopefully it will get fixed in the future, although with the amount of bugs that have come from 9.14 I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while.

Here is how to fix the loading bug after champ select (remember this method is only a temporary fix and this can occur more than once):

  1. If you notice that either the game loading screen doesn't appear after champ select or if it freezes (usually at 90%) when it does, quickly open task manager.
  2. Go to Background processes (this is important) and end any league of legends processes. (remember they must be under background processes.)
  3. Close the client or game if they haven't already been closed and restart and login.
  4. the game should load normally and you will be able to play your game without any major issues.

This is the only way to fix this issue for me so if you find any other ways to permanently fix this bug then please comment explaining how.

I actually just made a post about this bug, before I saw your post. Just wanted to say, at least for me, this fix won't work because you can't open task manager- the screen is completely frozen.

here is my post btw: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/TFT-bug-report/nyt2usm6-stuck-in-loading-screen-bug-critical-bug
