Client & Gameplay: Freezes randomly after a victory or defeat, lag spikes & more!
Since I can't screen cap league for some reason, I figured I'd explain what's going on with the client & gameplay.
FREEZING CLIENT AT THE END OF A GAME
-
Win or lose, at random, the client will lock up & at times freeze my computer. But I was in a skype call each time (I've never had problems with skype & league running at the same time before, aside from grudging lag when other people are using my internet connection.) and asked if anyone else's client froze. Some of them had no problems, others had a relatively long wait time for stats.
-
I tried accessing task manager and it wouldn't even let me access my desktop, everything was black when I tabbed out. I had to force-shut down my computer & restart it. League will sometimes give me a random freeze at the end of the game.
-
If the enemy team surrenders, sometimes the client will freeze right at that moment. I only know this since the people in the skype call told me that they surrendered. For a moment, I thought the game borked and I'd have to try reconnecting to it then hope I don't get a leaverbuster for having to restart my computer.
-
This only started to happen after the release of Star Guardian Lux, I love this skin to bits and pieces, but maybe something in the coding along with the little patch it came with needs some looking at?
-
I can't pick up on a particular pattern, it's VERY sporadic. At first I thought it was only when playing Lux, but it happened when I played other champs too, so aside from the general gist of when I noticed it started happening, I can't give out a clue toward what will trigger it.
RANDOM LAG SPIKES
-
DEFINITELY happening to people other than me, even the enemy team at times.
-
No one is using the internet and my computer is the only one accessing it.
-
It seems like it happens in a "wave" at times, either when someone else on my team or the enemy team starts lagging up, other people will seem to start lagging as well.
-
Some times, we're getting delays in terms of trying to move our champ or attack. Then the delay from when a click or attack occurred is a handful of seconds later
-
Champ will go in a completely other direction from where I clicked them to go where it's like they teleported or something.
-
Life bar was full, but suddenly it isn't and oh look, I'm dead. Not sure how it happened since the screen is grey but there is no explanation as to what just happened.
-
Sometimes the ping will look just fine, then suddenly it'll just sky rocket out of the clear blue. The gradual increase to help get into a safe position or warn the team that you're lagging isn't always possible.
ATTACK DELAYS
This is gonna be a short one, but sometimes there's 0 lag and attacks aren't registering when clicked. Sometimes I have to press the attack over and over again. My keyboard & mouse are okay, they aren't busted. But I'm not the only one who has had this problem. It doesn't matter who the champ is. I'm unfortunately not the only one who has this issue at times. Maybe it's a server related problem?
I DIDN'T CLICK THAT WAY....
My mouse was in a VERY different direction from where the spell was aimed.
Prime example of this happening is when I was playing Lux, the final spark beam glitched at a different area (I think it was to the right?) and a team mate asked where I was ulting in our call. I told them "I don't know, I didn't aim it there. Uh....demaglio sneeze....?"
Lux isn't the only one I had this issue with. However, it's by far one of the more noticeable.
KALISTA, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ATTACK WHILE SUPPRESSED.....STOP IT. NO? K THEN....
Whether it's a
hook or
suppressing her in place, she's a honey badger and just doesn't care. She will go ahead and attack anyway like nothing happened.
