DJ Sona Freezing Games

THE RlVER KlNG··1 votes·1,811 views

Just played a duo with my Sona main friend. When I clicked the icon to listen in to her music, my screen would freeze for a long amount of time (10-15 seconds) and then I would have noticibly lower FPS.

Is this a bug you are aware of, Riot, or is this something else?

It has happened to me as well. Whenever I clicked on her music icon the screen either froze for a few seconds, as Clockwork said, or I would have consistent frame rate drops while the music was active. Don't know if it's a general bug or not, I blamed it on the fact that I have a wired potato that passes as a computer.

Is Sona becoming the new Azir of bugs?

They're probably intentional "bugs." If the upcoming nerfs are any indication, Rito doesn't want her to exist anymore. This is their way of telling us.

Hey ClockworkSheikah -

Thanks for the report! Is this happening to you every time you opt in to DJ Sona's music? I'm personally not able to repro this issue. D:

This was a ranked game, 12ish Monday night. I was playing Constable Trundle jungle, fighting Krugs. I opened the tab to click her little music note tag and my game froze for several seconds before a noticeable drop in frame rate.

Okay! I have more info! Looks like this is a known issue for some instances. VSYNC on FPS can drop from 200-300 to 10-30, or even freeze the game for about 2 seconds on slower machines. Would you happen to have VSYNC on?

I can confirm this behavior; whenever I opt into DJ Sona music the game lags hard for several seconds.

Ahhh. Okay. Looks like this is a known issue for some instances. VSYNC on FPS can drop from 200-300 to 10-30, or even freeze the game for about 2 seconds on slower machines. Would you happen to have VSYNC on?

There's a chance that's what caused it. Now that I know the reason I'll do some personal investigation, thanks for responding!

Of course! Feel free to let me know what you end up with! Any additional information is always appreciated. :)

According to my nVidia settings, the driver is choosing to let the 3D application choose. There is no option to check in the client. I loaded into a Co-op game to check settings in game... Uncapped FPS with "wait for vsync" enabled.

i've been seeing this since the skin release. I notice the screen freeze on button press but i don't notice the consistently lower fps.

although i think it's been a bit better as of late. I think i would need to come across another DJ sona and press the button to find out if it's still happening

edit: read on down the thread, rip.
