[Yasuo] Game Crashes Immediately After Load Screen When Playing Yasuo

Agent Tatsu·1/8/2015, 8:24:02 AM·4 votes·1,646 views

A new problem that's appeared is that when I try to play Yasuo, the game crashes immediately AFTER the load screen. Again, this is not a problem that occurs DURING the load screen - everyone loads into the game, and as soon as the game actually begins, the game freezes and i have to manually close the game and reconnect. When I attempt to reconnect, however, I have no issues. I tried repairing my client, and it did nothing at all to alleviate the issue. This happens when I use the classic Yasuo skin as well as the PROJECT: Yasuo skin. It happens on the Crystal Scar and Summoner's Rift. I have not yet tried it on any other maps. This happens in online PvP as well as a custom game with no one else in it other than myself. I had a laptop that broke a long time ago, so I got a new Dell Inspirion 3000 Series with an i5 processor @ 2.4 GHz, 8GB RAM and 2GB video memory. I've never had this problem before and it's extremely annoying, and I would appreciate any help i can get on the issue.

My game crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to play Yasuo as well. And just like you, it happens after the loading screen when i should be spawning in the fountain

I've actually seen reports that disabling HUD Animations in the settings has helped some people - might be worth a try...

I have this as well, this is definitely warranted as "GAME BREAKING" as people with slower computers might not be able to load in again by the time the minions spawn.

I circumvented this once by being alt-tabbed out of the game when loading was happening, so the game wasn't focused when it started, but it ended up freezing mid-game in the exact same way (total lock-up, have to terminate process) the instant I ulted someone. Perhaps it has to do with a corrupt animation/texture/sound with his ult that doesn't initialize correctly the first load?

Have you tried the obvious? repairing the client?

Confirming that it happens with the latest Catalyst drivers, on every map, and even with antivirus disabled. There seems to be maybe a 10-20% chance that it loads in okay (but I'm not sure if it would crash at a later point as the trend has been, since I just loaded into a bots custom to test these), but overall it is nearly guaranteed to freeze.

Guys, I would like to thank Eambo for solving this issue. He suggested that I disable the resource bar animations and it worked flawlessly. I haven't had the crash ONCE since i tried his solution. While this is a fix, it doesn't solve the issue that something is clearly wrong with the way Yasuo loads into the game. Besides, animated resource bars are nice, and while playing Yasuo is more important, I politely request that Riot fix the issue so that I can go back to enjoying your art team's amazing work. :D

A possible workaround: have the game minimized durning loading and wait until a match starts.

Also sombody mentioned to disable HP/secondary resource bars animations.

I was teaming up with some one that mains Yas mid and the same is happening to them... over and over and over he will crash when playing Yas and normally only gets back in once the other mid lane is already lvl 2-3. Yet if he loads any other champ at all there is 0 issues. It totally sucks as they are really good with yas but now much resort to another champ or its 4v5 for the beginning of the match.
