[CRASH] Mac - Loading into first game causes client to become unresponsive/crash
Just a heads up, I'm currently playing the game on a Mac.
Whenever I load into my very first game, whether it be a Rift/ARAM/bot match I always get stuck in the loading screen for a really long time with the "loading color wheel" popping up. If I leave it alone for a while, two different outcomes occur.
- A second window pops up, usually the game window, telling me I lost connection and then I get a message that the game crashed
- I start loading in, but ONLY after everyone else is in the game first (only my splash appears)
This occurs only on my FIRST game, my subsequent games on any game mode do not have this sort of problem. When this occurs I check the program using Activity Monitor and it says "LolClient (Not Responding)" and "UserKernel (Not Responding)" with the league icon next to both. Even currently leaving the client open says "UserKernel (Not Responding)". This issue has shown up a few patches ago (at least since 5.16 ) and continues in 5.17.
- Login in to league using the Mac client
- Queue up for a bot/rift game and choose a champion/lock in
- Wait for everyone to lock in and attempt to load in
I usually play a bot game as my very first game in order to resolve the issue so my later games load in more smoothly.
