Supreme FPS Drops and DCed. Anyone else tired of this buggy client?
I was just in a game and I was getting major FPS drops whenever I was near the enemy Shen, so I lowered my graphics (I play on medium but my laptop can handle ultra at about 30fps, medium at 60+ consistently) and the game froze. I could hear everything but my screen was black and I couldn't move, then when it finally came back I moved about 3 steps and it froze completely. I had to bring up task manager and try to force close League after I waited 2 minutes to see if it would fix itself, and as soon as I closed League I got a blue screen of death. It took me 10 minutes to restart, log back in and the game was over. That cost me a lot of LP, a lower queue priority and I'm close to dropping in rank. Not cool RITO! Although I don't mind so much because I know I can get back up, but it's still not cool!
I don't have a piece of crap laptop, it has a dedicated graphics card and an i5. I know that's nothing to brag about my my friend's toaster can run league just fine so I know it wasn't my laptop. I know in this last patch there was a bug fix that helped fps drops, but I've been experiencing the opposite. Generally, yes; I do get less FPS drops but when I get them they are much worse and much harder. You can check my player history to see that I rarely (f at all) am reported, and only then because the client is buggy as heck and I DC every couple games. This is the first time it caused a blue screen of death though. Honestly, my internet does mess up occasionally but I'm always back within 2 minutes tops. Client crashes are the vast majority of my problem. It used to happen (sometimes it still does) when I alt-tab out, and also when I had my launcher on my launch bar thingy instead of from the start menu. I think that last one was fixed, but I will try and record and re-create this new one with changing the graphics.
Anyone else had this problem?
