Random Game Crashes (in-game)

BandBcuz2Gud·11/1/2018, 8:36:56 PM·29 votes·17,995 views

For the past two major patches, my game has been randomly crashing. No bug splat either. The game would freeze and just hang. I have to force close the in-game application then reconnect.

I would also like to report that a few of my 2 dozen or more crashes, happened just as I pressed the 'enter' key. (Enter just to open chat box)

For me it started this patch, and It's unreal. I crash at least once every 3-5 games and I've even crashed 3 times in one game. The game just freezes and I can't alt tab so I end up having to sign out or restart PC.

I have the same problem. Game client just randomly closes 1-3 times per game. Without error message.

exactly the same for me. I have already tried everything and the problem is not on my side

I have been dealing with this since the 24th of October and I hadn't seen ANYONE post about it on twitter or reddit. Then I discover community boards and I nearly shed a tear when I saw this post. My ticket has been tossed around like a ragdoll by the support team trying to figure out what is happening. I feel for them. Riot support please save us.

As everyone else mentioned: I cannot tab out and have to restart my pc when I get these freezes in the first 2:00 of my games

I've uninstalled/reinstalled, repaired my client, deleted config folder, changed app permissions, troubleshooted compatability, installed all possible updates for windows, removed all unnecessary background tasks, made sure xbox dvr was turned off, turned off overlays (none were on to begin with), updated my drivers, updated my firmware, deleted a bunch of storage just in-case, turned my game to lowest settings, turned off eye candy and map art, capped my fps at 120. Pretty much everything... And yes, I've tried turning it off and turning it back on again :-)

It cost me 2 placements. I shouldn't have been so bold as to try and play. 5/10/20 min leaver queues were pretty fun. I don't know how to be patient.

(Copying my post from a similar thread so that this issue gets noticed) This has been happening to me as well and seems to have sprung up after the most recent patch. Oddly enough, league voice continues to work perfectly fine while the game is frozen. I hear the windows notification noise and the game freezes like a screenshot. I have to sign out of my computer through ctrl alt delete just to get out of it. When I log back in to my computer it's as though League was never running at all. I have a very high end computer too so it should not be a specs issue. I repaired my client and updated my drivers to no avail. What interested me is that submitting my game logs to the Riot Games Support site told me I didn't have enough RAM to run the game (1 gig), while I have 16 gigs installed on my computer.

Put your game to borderless so you'll be able to use ctrl+alt+delete. Also (i don't know if it will work), put your client not to close during game, so you'll faster press reconnect button. It happened to me many times, and i would probably win those games, and i hope they will fix it.

The same has been happening to me for a couple months now. It gets frustrating having to tab out, open up task manager, look for the unresponsive league client, end the task, then reconnect back into the game. It seems to mostly happen in the beginning of a game and I usually end up losing the first wave of minions by the time I manage to get back into the game.

Same, it started for me since the new patch. Seems like a good number of people are experiencing this problem as well. I really hope Riot is investigating, but for now not much we can do. If you are using windows open: Task Manager -> Options -> "Always on top". That way it will be up when you alt+tab and you can force close League client to restart faster.

Same here, i reported it but haven't heard anything yet. worst thing is I play ranked and it's cost me some games because of the freezes that have been happening since the patch update.

I just saw a post that riot employees have noticed the issue and are trying to figure out what is going on.

Blitzball Player11/2/2018, 6:43:55 AM3 votes

Basically what everyone said. Couldn't close the game through alt+f4, alt tab, ctrl alt del > task manager. All that was left was to either sign out or force a shut down if it wouldn't eve let me ctrl alt del.

Same thing happening to me, riot pls fix

BandBcuz2Gud11/9/2018, 4:31:34 PM2 votes

For those that didn't know, I play in windowed mode. Once the game freezes I can still alt+tab. I wouldn't dare put this game in full screen anymore because of season 7 patches where the game would lock my pc on fullscreen mode

I have the same issue, game just randomly crashes when i press the ‘enter’ key or it just randomly crashes for no reason and no warning __

RaalzFox1/25/2019, 1:20:06 PM2 votes

This is getting irritating.... I cost my team the game due to the fact that this random crash issue is occurring. Please fix your game!

ScurryLizard1/29/2019, 3:04:17 AM2 votes

Still having this issue. All other games are working fine, but I experience a crash and see others crash too while playing League

jjanator132/17/2019, 11:16:09 PM2 votes

putting the game in borderless is the way to make it to where you can alt+ tab and wont fully crash the game will load back in after id say 5 secs. but will still do the problem.

This bug goes like this:

1, You can hear a "Ding" sound, and then your loading screen stuck, you can't Tab out 2, You can only ctrl+alt+F4, and then you can close the broken loading screen. 3, Client is starting repairing forcibly, "repairing" replaced "Play" button. 4, Repairing time is unpredictable. The best situation is you can reconnect right after players loaded in, like you will be in game at around 1:30. The bad situation is that game goes another crash while reconnecting, and repairing again. 5, Then system put you in a lower placement queue.

Solution plz, it draw me crazy.

Happens to me every single game. I just put a bug ticket in.

I have same problems...games crashes and freez...I can't alt tab shut or alt f4...I have to force reset PC and then reconnect. It hapoens every 1-3 games, furthermore LeaveBuster sees me as an AFK player and I have penalties for that. I tried all possible reinstallations, Hextech repair tool but problem keeps going. Any solutions to that?
