It bugsplats, disconnects or outright fails a good 10% of the time for crying out loud. I had loaded into the ame, said 100%, and in 8 min it still hadn't loaded in. I close it to re-try, and it bugsplats for 3 more min.
Then because Riot is a great company, they delete my post about it. Great way to handle criticism.
SanKakU2 votesaren't they planning to update the client, anyway? if so, they already know it's a bit trashy i guess.
Strat1 votesRepair your client, update your drivers, check your firewalls, try using Google public DNS instead of your ISP's DNS.
Most people don't face these issues as commonly as you do, so clearly it's something on your end.
Troy2426211 votesI know a bit about computers. Before I play, I check my stability, I ping Riot's servers and often times I play a few games of TF2 first. I had no issues at all.
Of your suggestions, I have done all of those except for the last two. I'll try them, but I'm not too hopeful. I know a LOT of people that have these issues pretty regularly. I appreciate the ideas, and I'll give'em a shot :.
Strat1 votesSorry, but as someone who actually has done a computer networking course or two the "tests" you're doing don't really tell you shit about the "stability" of your connection. Don't be that guy that pretends to be a "computer expert" because he knows more than his grandma does. Playing TF2 tells you NOTHING about the routing your ISP has from you to Riot's servers.
For instance, did you know that different servers are used while loading the game than the ones used when you're in the game? This means that for some people who have trouble connecting to the game in the loading screen, they can just close the client and wait for the game to actually start and load in then, allowing you to get in without problems.
Do a tracert to the servers and send the results to Riot support, you'll get better assistance there from people who actually know how the network works.
Troy2426213 votesMy father is a computer technician, don't be pretentious. I don't think you know as much as you think you do ;).
Sorry friend, but that kind of "Help," isn't needed. I'm well aware of the variables. I particularly love when part of the path is corrupted and packets get dropped -_-.
Strat1 votesHe can put together computers, congrats, does he know how to play with Lego too?
Troy2426211 votesMust'v hit a sore spot. I always marvel at the fact that people like yourself go to support forums.
Strat1 votesI don't think you realise how plebby "computer technicians" are in the computing world if you think that being a computer technician means someone knows anything about computers...
Troy2426211 votesI mean he's currently in networking classes. I think that gives him some up to date information on the topics :? I mean he's a pretty old guy, well into his 60s but hey, he's doin' pretty well.
No need to be so hostile because your ego was put into question my man,...
Strat1 votesComputer networking for computer technicians is like the low level mathematics class they offer in high school, it doesn't really compare in terms of the content that is offered to software engineering-level networking classes. It's more focused on practical client-end networking and so prevents you from understanding things on a higher level.
Anyway, I think we're both getting needlessly snarky so I'm going to stop, this isn't really getting us anywhere. There's nothing wrong with your old man, I'm DEFINITELY not saying he's dumb or anything. I was just saying my advice was worth more than his in this particular situation because I know more than he does about networking.
League of Scrub1 votesYou seem like a really fun person at parties
Strat1 votesOK me and you being dicks aside, "corruption" on the path isn't what causes packets to get dropped. Unless hardware is extremely damaged, packets don't get easily corrupted in the network. The main source of corruption-caused packet drops are wireless hardware i.e. WiFi. What can cause packets to get dropped is a Firewall (personal or one of your ISP's firewalls) blocking a packet.
Another way they get dropped is if a particular route is overloaded with data packets, meaning that one of the routers ("routers" exist throughout the internet not just at the end points) runs out of memory causing the most recent packets to be lost.
Most of these situations (once it leaves your home) is your ISP's responsibility and not Riot's, although it's entirely possible that packets are being dropped at Riot's end. I just feel that it's less likely since you can see clearly that all the NA streamers who play the game just fine, so Riot's end of the network is most likely fine in terms of stability for the most part.
Pucking Purrfect2 votesWhat a turd. You have to accept the fact that LoL's client is an abomination. Stop acting like a tech-savvy because you clearly not.
Strat1 votesI'm a software engineer that specialises in networked computer vision research, but okay if you say so bronzie :)
Pucking Purrfect2 votes''TRUST ME I'M FROM INTERNET''. Btw, you hurt my feelings with my rank and now I'm going to suicide just because a retarded tech-savvy wannabe kiddo. Bite me.
UnSeenDeath881 votesHere the last week, I've been having longer pregame load times, even when everybody was at 100% it still seemed to take another 3 minutes to start, just earlier today it took a minute or 2 for the load screen to appear from champion select, that got to the point where I thought the client closed out until I saw the Riot logo on my taskbar. People dropping out of games for a couple minutes. Hell one of my friends started a Nemesis game with me and his client kicked him out in the load screen, when he started the client back up it wanted to do an update, last I heard before I went to bed was the update kept failing. Login server taking 2-3 tries to respond, even having to try and log in a 2nd or 3rd time because the server won't respond in time.
Zoonarch1 votesThis just happened to me a few hours ago, I got kicked during nemesis. Full Blown client crash, couldn't log back in without scanning files for half an hour. By the time I finally got back on, the game was over ,now I'm sitting on a 5 game low priority que...
Frame rate has been garbage since the patch and damn near every time I login, I have to scan files for some reason.
I re-installed the game yesterday, to try and deal with the same scanning files problem. To no avail.
As a FTP Game, I can understand some issues, but having spent a considerable amount of money, I feel that this is unacceptable.
UnSeenDeath881 votesYep also here more recently I've been having random ping spikes in game I'll jump from 95-110 up to 150-500. I can tell as soon as the ping counter hits orange or red numbers I better click towards base in case i fully disconnect. I love the excuse that's it's just my internet, with a lot of these connection problems, because a lot of times I get kicked from the game or I'm struggling to connect, I can open internet right up, and come here to start writing a post about it, all the while I'm getting bug splat and firewall errors.
eyes wide shut1 votesthey are rebuilding the client, and scrapping the piece of shit ancient adobe air crap in a few months, from what I heard.
MrPeperoni1 votesI try to play, i am at champion select and when champion select is done it does not show me the loading screen where you can see the players and when i try to click it happens all this again plz fix and by the way nerf morgana's q hitbox
DemoGuide1 votesAre you happy about new client then? Because for me, new client is much much worse.
