Client minimizes while in game from pressing side mouse buttons

Ever since the new client came across to live servers this keeps consistently happening. It only does it once which is really weird but consistent. Not once per game, just one time after opening the client on the very first game I play regardless of the mode. Usually I press the side buttons during the load screen which minimizes it there so I won't get caught off guard during game but sometimes I forget. Also if I were to close the client and open it again it would do it once more so it seems every time the client is run the side buttons will minimize the client once while in-game/loading screen then never do it again until you exit the client and re-open it again.

Same here... ever since i Downloaded the new client (which is beautiful btw) ever time i press Mb4 (which is my flash )my league game minimizes to the windows screen which is awful since when people flash we are normally trying to make a play or get an early FB and it just throws off the whole game if it is in Laning phase.....PLEASE FIX THIS RIOT

I've also been having this problem, but it's almost been part of every game I play, and specifically the 5th mouse button. It happens at random, but I try to get it over with in the beginning of the game by spamming it when an Item is there, but it doesnt always work. It happens oftne at the worst times, and theres no way for me to fix it. IDK what to do, please FIX!

Once you are logged in, open the task manager and close the process called "RiotClientServices.exe". It worked for me, no more minimize until i log out. Only downside, every time you relog, the process restart and you have to close it again.

Ah I left for a few months and came back to this bug. was quite confused and disheartened when it caused needless deaths and couldn't seem to be solved. What a clownshow they have not fixing this by now. might as well just leave again if they care this little.

Same here. I have enemy ward spotted on MB4 and Mastery on MB5. Very annoying bug.

I have the same problem, following the thread. Also, sometimes the scroll wheel click doesn't work either, just randomly, I can't use the central click and can't zoom the camera in/out. Makes kinda impossible to play for me...

I'm also having this issue. Been a problem since new client. Using a Logitech Pro gaming mouse. MB4 causes game to minimize to desktop once per gaming session when try to flash using this button.

Same here! I adc kite with that! Is this going to be fixed or ignored? Cuz this is serious.

Taco Katana11/2/2019, 9:48:58 PM2 votes

I hadn't connected it to the side button, cause I don't have anything serious attached to it, but I finally noticed the connection and it's definitely happening here too. Haven't noticed it in any other games (yet) at least. Someone mentioned Windows, and maybe it could be some how related, but it definitely wasn't a problem until after the new LoL client.

At least I know what is causing it. I wasn't connecting the side button to it happening. I was thinking it was something else. Anyone has found a solution?

You can press your side buttons as many times as you want without an issue but as soon as you use it to save your life with a zhonyas or something it knocks you straight back to your desktop

It finally got fixed on last night's patch.
