Mac High Sierra Crashes

Ghosł ·12/15/2017, 11:42:47 PM·36 votes·27,972 views

Hey, I've noticed other talking about this. I just wanted to report it as well.

After upgrading to Mac High Sierra.

Randomly, my game will just crash during the game. No lag spike, no issue of any kind. I will be playing and everything will be going perfect then it just ends and I get a report issue. Half the time bug splat doesn't pop up and other times it does pop up but bug splat also crashes and I have to force quit bug splat.

100% of the time if I cmd tab to exit the game (in game or at loading screen) the game crashes and I have to close everything and restart my Mac to be able to log back in. If I try to reconnect after an cmd tab or if I try to restart the league client I get a white screen and a pop up that says something about my internet connection.

Hope this helps fix the problem.

YES FINALLY, I thought I was the only one, I have been having the exact same problem as you all and was just about to completely uninstall league forever until I saw this thread. But if this doesnt get fixed soon, I might still have to. I can't keep playing when I am always at a 1 death handicap.

Read this Thread , and share for visibility. I fixed the problem for me and have had no crashes since.

This is still happening.... A billion dollar company should be able to get support for this stuff. Completely rediculous that there is absolutely no fix after 2-3 years of the same issue. I've spent around $100 on this game and I can't play it because of this.

Can you please respond with the Apple model # for your Mac and the release date please?

Got the same problem here, it is almost like every game I get a bug splat, and the other team gets a lot of advantage out of it.

H3resJ0hnny3/20/2018, 6:28:58 AM2 votes

EXACT same problem here, upgraded to High Sierra. Game crashes 50% within first 5 mins, always reconnect and find out I'm dead, and a level or two behind which makes the game impossibly frustrating.

Riot please prioritize a patch for your Mac players.

The reddit link that fixes the problem on this thread is deleted, so is there a temporary fix???

I get same issue after i ubdate to os sieara -.-

Lutafistacious1/21/2018, 9:31:53 PM2 votes

Yes, ever since the High Sierra upgrade. It helps if I clear my system cache, but I still get these crashes. I just plan for a crash within the first couple minutes of the game, that's usually when they happen :/ I've gotten the same error, "Crashed Tread: 15 Dispatch queue: OpenGLMT". A fix would be so great. If it's on Apple's end, could Riot put some pressure on Apple? I know quite a few League players with Macs...

gahhhhh Riot please fix this. It's driving me crazy!

Th3StickyBandit12/21/2017, 3:28:58 PM2 votes

Okay. I'm having this issue too. Things I have considered as causes:

Apple notifications: I have found that sometimes these crashes come about around similar times that I get iMessages or other notifications from the OS. Turning on do not disturb seems to help some, but I still get crashes. I also haven't been able to 100% correlate the notifications from the operating system to the crashes, I just notice when the game crashes that often I have notifications for a new email or iMessage.
Right-clicking through the client: I have found that when my client crashes like this, my operating system will have registered a right click somewhere on the desktop (either on the desktop itself, bringing up the new folder/get info/change background menu or on a file). This seems to occur fairly often in conjunction with the crashes, although also not 100% correlated. Perhaps clicking to move in-game somehow registers outside the client and causes the crash?
Hitting or being hit by CC: It seems that the majority of the time that my client crashes, it occurs during laning phase (i main support) and seems to be "triggered" by hitting or being hit by CC. This typically (80-90% of the times) occurs around the 4-5 minutes mark, although I have had crashes at all phases of the game.
High Sierra Update vs. Patch?

Have you noticed similar things or made any other observations during/around the time of your crashes?

(P.S. have a ticket into Riot. Hopefully they can get this fixed)

RIOT PLEASE FIX THIS. I have gone through just about every option since updating to High sierra and I crash at the start of every game about five min in. I am going to have to stop playing League and that BLOWS.

Hi i have the same issue, for a long time... How can i fix it? And always this happen in ranked, in the first 5 min ..

SlappingSchlong5/1/2018, 4:14:21 AM1 votes

Same issue here. It happens at the beginning of the game. Mostly once, however, can happen 2 to 3 times in a single game. I have been playing league for years on my mac and never had an issue. Its sad to see this has been an ongoing problem since November 2017.

Russian homie5/5/2018, 6:21:17 AM1 votes

So I have a solution. Sorry for my English. So u have to set ur monitor resolution (in mac settings) same as u have in game. In mac settings u have to choose between "looks like 1400*900/ 1650/1920 So I put 1400 900 as I have mbook 15 and never crush since. If it helps add me and present a skin))

I have been having the same problem, I have tried to close the client while in game, but it doesn't seem to work that well. With this there is no way to climb or get better really. Every game I DC and then throw my lead away. There is no way I can do that in ranked, and hope to climb. This is so frustrating.

Sooooo is no one working on this problem...?

TheRaffmobile6/2/2018, 9:20:29 PM1 votes

The only other place I've seen someone from Riot actually respond to this problem is on reddit. They say that they're actively searching for a solution but that there isn't a current ETA on when it will be fixed. Here's the link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/83xemk/constant_bugsplats_on_mac_client/

That was two months ago. Seems like there is no interest from support since then, which is, to say the least, disheartening. It breaks the game for me. Going to try the workaround but it feels like we're being ignored.

Ugh Mac just came out with a new software update and it brought my hopes up thinking it would be able to fix the crashing issue and it didn't :/

Same issue here. We mac users are the minority, and we might not get a fix until weeks to come.

junglerboy1612/16/2017, 7:29:19 AM1 votes

I have gotten just over 30 of these crashes after updating, which corresponded with the preseason patch (so I wasn't sure what was causing it)

I get a crash every 3-4 games, sometimes multiple crashes per game (worst was 4).

It seemed to be particularly tied to team fights where a lot of abilities were getting thrown out almost instantly. The one where I crashed 4 times I was playing Malphite in an ARAM and every time I used his ult the game crashed.

cerealkilltrax12/16/2017, 7:32:18 AM1 votes

Same to say all those with mac are getting crashes... this is happen across many other games as well. (one other is civ 5)

cooliomaster912/16/2017, 3:35:06 PM1 votes

same. someone please send this to rito or let them know

ReiMysterio12/16/2017, 6:39:11 PM1 votes

I have exactly the same problem. I sent a ticket to Riot and got a quick response saying that it was indeed a problem associated to the High Sierra update. They said that at the moment they cannot do anything about it since it is not a problem with League but with the MacOS. I suppose this OS Update does not pair well with League or maybe even other high performance games. Let's hope it will get fixed on the next OS update.

The only solution is to use discrete graphic card instead of integrated one. I'm pretty sure it's the only solution at this time.

KindredPhoenix2/10/2018, 8:43:26 PM1 votes

Has anybody been able to fix this issue. I am having the same problem when ever I try to play league on High Sierra.

Snixerz2/14/2018, 3:16:23 AM1 votes

Every time I get into a ranked game and I aa a minion or get asked by a champ I dc and the other team gets first blood. I only crash or get a bug splat in ranked on the other game modes nothing happens idk what is happening but can some riot ppl solve this problem (I'm also playing on a Mac high seria)I crash ever rank game I play in the beginning first like 4-5 minutes I crash.

jkidd223/3/2018, 5:00:34 AM1 votes

Thanks for this I will be sure to try it out, I updated my OS and also close all other apps when I play and that's also helped my considerably. Hoping for the best.
