Game Crashes and Laggy Client

Àntone·11/1/2018, 4:49:48 PM·9 votes·3,313 views

I know more than a few others have had this problem despite it not being experienced by a large percentage of the player base. Random game crashes, which happen sporadically (I'd estimate about once every 3 to 4 games on average) are taking place normally in the early game.

For me, the game freezes in place, my mouse seems like it's possessed (very hard to control and moving slowly on its own), and I am not able to exit game or even access my task manager. I am forced to shutdown or (quickest method) Ctrl Alt Delete and then sign out... This process normally takes about 2 mins to load back in and often results in a death. 2 mins is around 4 waves on average and is obviously, very impactful.

Knowing it can happen at the start of any game makes playing even a winning game extremely stressful. Additionally, my client has been more laggy than it has ever been, I'm convinced it is the patch as I have tried all recommended fixes for solving an in-game crash. Please do your best to fix before end of season, Riot. I really wanna grind :(

Omg! I have the exact same garbage happen to me. I feel your pain. I literally have to reboot my whole PC and it takes FOREVER since my boot time for my PC is quite slow... Fix this ASAP, please.

This kept happening to me this entire week just before Patch 8.22 and then the following game right after I've patched 8.22! Fix this problem!!!

Yeah these random lag spikes started a day or two before patch 8.22 and has persisted since then. Checked my internet speeds and running processes and all is well. Something with the client is buggy.

Same here, a lot of lag and client crashes. Feels bad having the game be buggy and Your teammates tell you how bad you are and to uninstall the game because your dying in team fights due to the lag spikes. Smh hope riot fixes this soon.

Same for me. Game crashes and only way to play again is sign out or restart PC. This happens every 2-3 game.

I had so many strange bug since 8.21,

  • Game crash randomly like 1/10
  • Sometimes the game freeze then it come back with the skin of the towers that are destroyed looking like their still alive and some skins that are all green.
  • The client lag so much, i'm never able to go to my loot on first click, i have to click on it then click on another option then come back to the loot icon then its working. -Sometimes lag or crash happens during the game hero select and i get a penalty because i dodged a game. ( THIS ONE IS VERY FRUSTRATING :D )

I also want to say that my PC is very capable at running games which are infinitely more demanding than League. I have had no problems running other competitive games, like Overwatch, which rely heavily on connection also. I didn't edit this in as the initial post was already pretty lengthy.

Can we at least get an update on this? It's incredibly annoying having to navigate through the lagging menus just to start a simple game. I'm sure I'm not alone, and I have spent quite the amount buying skins so I would very much like to keep playing the game but this is making it nearly impossible to have an enjoyable experience. Thanks.

A frustrated player.
