[CRASH] Picking Yasuo causes game to crash at game start
Hello everyone, straight to the point: Since one of the newer patches (either 4.20 or 4.21) I noticed this bug but as I searched the web for postings/fixes i noticed noone made a more detailed post about it so I took the liberty to borrow the reddit-bug-report-style with some added detail, so here goes:
Server: EU West Type of Bug: Crash Description: Everytime I try to enter a game as Yasuo (regardless of skin used) the game crashes right at the moment the Summoner's Rift (or any other map for that matter) should be loaded and the Champions are about to spawn. The only way to continue the game (for me) is to close the client, kill all LoL-processes via taskmanager if they're still running and restart the client with the admin launcher (regular won't work, it will just start all LoL-processes but the client won't pop up to receive login credentials; only the launcher will show but as I perceive it that's an entirely different bug) NOTE : When I finally manage to get back into the game I still experience an about 2-3 second freeze once loaded onto the SR combined with a yellow tint on the screen which disappears once unfrozen, the rest of the game may be played out normally - picture see below. Steps to reproduce: Create a custom game in any gamemode (SR Beta, Howling Abyss tested so far) and pick Yasuo (any skin) Expected Result: Game will load normally past the loading screen Observed Result: Game crashes as soon as the map shows Reproduction Rate: 10/10 System Specs: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz || 8 GB RAM || Windows 7 64-bit || GeForce 670 GTX || Driver Version: 347.09
I hope to finally draw some more attention to this bug as I (and I assume quite a number of people as well) would really like to play Yasuo again which is currently impossible with this bug (putting you AND your teammates at a disadvantage from the get-go for no particular reason is unacceptable in an competitive enviroment).
P.S.: While I'm on the subject of Yasuo bugs here something else that keeps bugging (pun intended) Yasuo players as well: Homeguard Animation Bug Video Description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enm_HXiGTlo (a simple google search handed me this, so I did not make this footage but as far as I'm concerned this bug also features every skin but appeared first with the release of PROJECT: Yasuo) Description: During Yasuo's Homeguard Animation his sword and sheath become seperated (sword stays in place on his hip while the sheath is placed in an opposite angle.)
All of this and the fact that a friend of mine (who uses a Radeon card) has no crashes with Yasuo lead me to believe that this issue might be both Yasuo-code and nvidia card/driver related but since I'm no expert in the field this is just a guess. I know with the upcoming holidays this might still be ways off to be investigated/fixed but I do hope that this will be looked into quite soon. With this I leave everyone to a happy holiday and best wishes for the year 2015, Cheers!
