TFT Tabbing out to Desktop Freezes Computer

Stephenizgod··2 votes·852 views

Every time I try to Tab out of TFT it freezes and crashes my laptop. It has happened 3 times now, completely freezes my laptop. I can't open Task Manager or force close any thing. After about 10 minutes my laptop just crashes and shuts off.

Steps to repeat:

  1. Start TFT game
  2. Try to Alt+Tab to a different page or desktop
  3. Watch Laptop/Computer freeze and crash

I don't have that on my laptop but i do instead have 5+ seconds delay on swapping while a normal league game has at most 2 seconds if i run too many things and less than 1 s if it's a clean start. My laptop is more than powefull enough to run League, but TFT is wonky as all hell.

Even though my Laptop is now about 4 years old, it can definitely run League of Legends. I've had to turn down the setting over the years as every patch seems to make it run less optimally more and more. But I can run it, I can tab out of it, I can do whatever. TFT though has so many issues running on my laptop... I don't even load in until after the first round is complete. It has trouble buying and selling champs. I can't minimize or tab out without crashing. Its bizzare how badly both League and TFT run on my computer. I run higher requirement games on this laptop just fine, but League of Legends for whatever reason has a lot of issues nowadays.

Weird, I run an Asus R752L, never had issues tbh, but i also periodically uninstall and reinstall all drivers like every 3 months or so, helps a lot. I ussually run WoW high, skyrim ultra, fortnite high, subnautica and many more all at max res which is 1680/1050. Although TFT is the only one that gets me quite the delays, but only on tabbibg in and out.

Edit: when you're not using USB/sd cards from others and you ussually only navigate on relatively trusted sites or run a powerfull adblocker like uBlock origin+NanoDefender (most viruses/malware come from questionable adds), then i only use the native antivirus aka windows defender which should cut some big costs in performance. Ran Avast free for years till it started acting up on the latest versions, uninstalled and got my performance back.
