@Riot FIX THE MAC BUGS.

Rico Nasty·Apr 15, 2016·7 votes·2,543 views

Seriously, us Mac players are a large portion of the LoL community. The sound bugs, Draven axe bugs, Malzahar bugs, end-game bugs, among many others are not to be left unattended to. It's getting to the point where I have trouble playing the game. Us Mac users have not had a SINGLE Rioter response in a month, we just want some confirmation that you're at least WORKING on the issues that affect our computers. And @ all Mac LoL players: Be loud and proud! Don't let Riot stay silent on these issues! We count as a part of the community too, we count just as much as PC players do. Keep making threads and posts everywhere. Thanks, HORCHATA LORD

Hey!

We've tried to be vocal about these issues, unfortunately, we haven't had a ton of updates because we've just been working to get a fix ASAP. That said, we are hoping to get a fix in for Patch 6.8. You can grab the official post here.

Alright, thank you so much!

I have to say, having just read the 6.8 patch notes and not seeing a mention of Mac is upsetting... It seems that any sort of store or skin related thread will get an immediate response, yet i scour Riot responses to find anything related to Mac. Unfortunately I guess I still won't be able to play, as has been the case for 3+ weeks. I would appreciate some communication, please.

Looks like Riot Eamonn commented and said that it should be resolved, just didn't make the patch notes.

Thank you for your responses. Your communication is appreciated and I notice you are often the one replying. Keep up the good work!

Hi hi!

So, bad news.

So, on PBE it looks like things were working with no issues, we had folks testing it there. (Testing on PBE is better than testing in-house 'cause it's a cooked build, and more similar to what we would push to live) Based on that, we were fairly confident that this issue would be resolved.

However, that doesn't appear to be the case. (Obviously.)

From what I understand, we will be making a post in Help & Support soon, looking for more information from you guys to help us figure out what the heck is going on. In addition, they should be giving an update with any additional information we have on our end.

Looks like it didn't make the patch either. Issue is still there. This is getting old.

fix: don't game on a mac.

. . .

totally kidding, but that is the exact response I got after telling my team I couldn't go into team fights without bugging out terribly (thankfully just an aram, still an extremely annoying response from a team mate tho)... anywho, this needs a fix ASAP.

I've gotten better at splitpushing/forcing small skirmishes to avoid full on teamfights tho :P

You may be joking, but I started playing this game on Linux. It was a huge headache to get the game to even run, and then every time they patched the game it would break.

So I bought a copy of Windows.

So the new patch is out now and I have noticed little to no improvement.

MacBook Air 13" On OSX El Captin (before the bugs I ran on medium to high settings at 70-ish fps)

issues still occurring

audio bugs
frame rate drops in team fights

new issues

lower average frame rate (have tried editing graphics settings now getting 60 or lower)
lag (not fps drops nor internet) where i can cast or click and not seeing what is happening until after a brief delay.

issues that seem to have improved (to an extent)

less frequent team fight frame rate drops
audio bugs seem to be lesser

overall I am seeing little improvement. How is it working for everyone else?

Sounds about right, I've been trying it out now that the client no longer crashes for me. So I put my setting back up to medium and the frames are still about 20 lower than they used to be but at least there isn't any audio bugs or major frame drops that I've noticed at the moment. It's slightly better so far but I haven't tested it too much yet. Update: I'm also getting the periodic lag that affects me pretty badly, there isn't a fps drop or ping spike, the game just stops responding.

The more I have played the lesser the audio bugs, and the FPS drops have seemed go away as well. The lowered FPS is an annoyance. The low FPS feels almost like its an Frame Rate cap (mine hasn't gone past 60 even though I have no cap set). As for the lag/bug that is exactly what is happening to me as well as my friends. I agree that this is bad, but still an improvement to the incapability to team fight. All in all, this is an improvement, but it isn't all good. It does feel good to know they care and they are trying to fix it though!
