MAC CLIENT- Suspicious program Atos asks for access to computer, latest patch Crashing/black screen(once disallowed)

Flamingo Tango·12/18/2014, 8:16:44 AM·6 votes·5,264 views

Some strange thing called atos asked for permission to run... What is this?

Now the game is crashing, crashing, crashing, and I cannot load in after champion select I was doing the poor thing.

I probably should have let it run, but it was really suspicious and riot didn't talk about atos.

Other people are having this problem too:

I didn't see a thread so.


Update: After a while, it worked fine. I did not need to give them permission, and it has not appeared since. I do not know about other people- some of the redditers talked about it always appearing ever since latest patch. My computer is very, very fast though (Which is why it's truly, truly, outrageous when the mac client has bugs, because I know that the fault is not with my computer...) I am still concerned and there are other users reporting bugs and disconnects with the mac client.

I am somewhat concerned however, about the users who did. If Riot does not know about this program, and it is a virus or something similar, please address it as soon as possible, because it appears to be a thing in the mac client that a lot of people are coming up against.

Extremely frustrating please riot any help even if its on my end would be greatly appreciated... I would be surprised if its just the client seeing on how you guys were working on it for awhile..

I signed in out of frustration, and now I'm very concerned I did the wrong thing.

Ever since patch 4.20, I have been having the same problem. I will disconnect every time I load into a game until the "atos" window pops up and I click "allow". Sometimes it won't pop up, resulting in having to fully load into the game again (3-6minutes), and by the time it does pop up (usually after the 4th reload into the game; the most relaunches I've done is 13 in a row before I gave up). Once I get lucky enough to have the "atos" window pop up, if I accidentally click "disallow" I have to restart my computer and the whole procedure all over again. It would be great to see a riot response to this issue, as I haven't been able to play whole games for weeks. As a league player for 4 years, I was overjoyed to see the new rift, but it was that patch that fucked my client in half...

This is happening to me. Super annoying.

I have a feeling we're getting this crash/bug because we're using OS Yosemite. Riot doesn't officially support the update to my knowledge leading to crashes and bugs to do with this "Atos" problem. I really, really hope (out of the million things Riot already does for us) that they tackle this Yosemite problem and figure it out. The problem is it does go away for a while only to come back a couple patches later. item 3070 Amumu item 3070
