League Crashing multiple times on Mac

TranscendentSol··7 votes·4,545 views

League Crashes without warning, it isn't the computer because there isn't a huge spike in FPS, FPS is fine, a constant 60 sometimes, It also isn't my internet since there is no spike of Lag or anything that would look like a Lag issue, proved this because after it crashes, my internet is fine since I could search things up fine. This "Bug" or "Issue" has been bothering me for a while because I've lost games because of it, as an example, I try to poke the Lucian Mid lvl 1 before the minions come out, and then I crash, no warning, nothing at all, I believe that the Client is to blame for this problem, being not as compatible with Mac as Windows is, which is understandable, but I don't think the game should crash every few games almost every day. (League only crashed in-game, so far I have crashed a total 9 times, and lost me 3)

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) Processor - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics - Intel Iris 1536 MB

This has been also happening to me as well, except for about 1+ years. Nearly every time I play a match of league, no matter if it's Bots/ARAM/Ranked, I've disconnected at least once and many times a few more times. This has definitely lost me team fights and games and a few notable moments such as when doing baron/dragon and not being able to smite because you magically "crashed" while the internet is still perfectly fine and your ping is stable. I'm glad this isn't just me and I've looked for solution in the internet and nothing really seemed to have worked (except maybe getting a new computer which isn't an option I have). This is also only when I play games such as league.

Except, mine is a Lenovo computer (Windows)

Glad that I am not the only one, this problem has been started 1 year ago too, well for me at least.

Do you alt tab when you play league? If so, try my advice that I gave to the Mac guy; play in borderless/windowed and tell me your results.

So far on my windows machine, my game has only crashed a few times, and when it does, its because I hit that stupid Windows key that minimizes the screen and brings up the control center. If you do that accidentally as well, go to this link and follow the manual steps to make sure you never accidentally hit it again: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/216893/how-to-enable-or-disable-the-keyboard-windows-key

It's also possible there's an issue with the resolution of league of legends that you manually set not matching up with your computer's resolution. For example, if your computer has an HD (1920x1080) display, but it's not very powerful and you have to set the resolution down to, say, 1400x900 to get 60 fps, then I would recommend changing the base resolution the display uses as well. I wish I could show you how to do this, but the steps change depending on the graphics card you're using; are you using and Nvidia or AMD separate graphics card, or are you using Intel graphics that come preinstalled in your processor?

If nothing above works, I would try updating all drivers for the computer, especially graphics drivers, and maybe repairing the client. Otherwise, send in a ticket to Riot Help and Support; they can probably help you out much more.

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to computer terms and all that but I can definitely tell it's an Intel Graphics card that came preinstalled

Okay, try rightclicking on desktop, and you should see a line that says "Intel Graphics Settings" or something along the lines of that. Click on it, and it will bring you to a screen where you can look at things like performance, display, graphics, and many other tabs. Resolution should be in the graphics section. Then, whatever League resolution you are currently playing on, make sure it's the same as the resolution that is shown in the graphics section.

Have you tried playing on borderless or windowed mode? Back when I played on MacOS, if I played on fullscreen mode but accidentally alt-tabbed, then tried reopening the game, it would immediately crash trying to reformat the picture to be fullscreen. It never happened when I had it in windowed or borderless.

Either way, have my upvote. This used to frustrate the hell out of me and there's no excuse for it.

Riot doesn't care. I've sent in tickets and posted about this every month since pre-season. If you have the latest operating system on Mac (high sierra) you are basically rolling the dice every game that your game will crash. A bunch of people upvoted a big reddit thread on this but nothing was done or even commented upon by riot concerning the issue. I've lost maybe 2 dozen games because of this bug this year
