[CLIENT] Shop hidden after hard resolution reset

Hi,

Today I found this bug which happens around the shop and different resolutions. I will describe exactly what I did and what behaviour resulted. Here we go:

Inspired by some youtubevideo I was playing around with my three monitor setup. What you can do with Nvidia, u can turn on surround and that makes ur 3x 1920x1080 behave like 1x 5760x1080. I was curious whether I can play LoL in this resolution stretched over all monitors, and yes, it is possible, it just looks pretty retarded (0/10 would not recommend). When u open the shop with this 3 monitor setup it appears somewhere on the left monitor. I left the (custom) game, and played further around with the Nvidia settings, until they bugged out and after several restarts of my machine I resetted everything in the Nvidia settings to normal (= again 3x 1920x1080, the mid monitor beeing the main one and used for playing). What happened when I started the next game was the following: The resolution was automatically reset to 1920x1080 right from the start, game looked as usual. When trying to open the shop, I couldn't see it anywhere. The sound of it opening was playing, and I couldn't cast spells until i pressed ESC which closes it. Other things like the settings, the scoreboard or championinformation were showing just fine like always. To get the shop visible again I had to change the resolution to something else (I chose a random resolution below 1920x1080). Then after setting it again to 1920x1080 the shop became accessible.

This all in steps:

  1. Fuse ur three 1920x1080 monitor to a virtual 5760x1080 one by using the surround feature of the Nvidia software
  2. Start a game, change ur resolution ingame to 5760x1080
  3. Play around, open the shop, do regular ingame things. Maybe important: for me the shop was beeing shown on the far left monitor
  4. Close the game, reset Nvidia settings to how they were before this, restart the machine
  5. Start a game, the game itself reset resolution to the maximum possible (1920x1080), try to open the shop -> its not visible

To resolve this: 6. Change resolution to anything below 1920x1080 7. Change it back -> shop is visible in the center of the screen

Since everything else but the shop worked fine I guess riot can tweak the code to make the shop to appear visible after any resolution change, so I decided to report it here. Any questions left go ahead and ask. Good luck hunting this one down (if its worth at all).

Best regards 2Ahri1Chalice

Addendum:

At the start of every new game the shop is hidden and to make it appear you have to do the steps 6 and 7, which takes a while and hinders you to leave base very fast for an invade or other plays. Haven't tried reinstalling yet, but will probably do since I'm afraid of going into a ranked match with this handicap.
