Visual bug with Brand/Jinx ultimates

Màv·10/6/2016, 7:40:58 AM·6 votes·4,157 views

Since the patch (Before Ivern, so 6.19?), Brand and Jinx's ultimates have been glitching visually for me. Whenever Brand's ultimate goes off it just disappears, yet I can still see the enemy getting effected by it, sometimes I will see it bouncing around my screen but no-where close to the actual champions or fight, like top right of my monitor....). Jinx's ultimate seems to have a visual delay on it, since it will go about a full 600 auto range past any character it hits but the explosion appears on the champion that it collided with and still functions as it should.

Only I seem to be affected by this since no-one else on the team ever seems to notice it, ideas?

Beside that last Jinx one (never tested it like that, I just haven't seen her rocket for months), those are exactly what the issues mine are. Curious, check Ekko's "Q" and see if it does something funny (does for me). I sent in a ticket and been getting tech support, pretty much reformatting my computer since everything we tried we failed. Though I've been busy and haven't done it yet. Am surprised you found this old post.

Just want to bump this or see if anyone has got a fix. I have this exact same problem, also similiarly to the other examples gnar's Q disappears when hitting a unit.

I also have this bug ever since that patch, I've tried completely reinstalling the game too but it still persists. Jinx's ultimate visuals appear over half the map's distance away from Jinx so it's impossible for me to dodge the actual hit box. Brand's ult usually appears completely invisible apart from the hits.

I sometimes have various particles spawning far from where they are meant to spawn and I think it is related to this similarly to how Jinx's ultimate spawn far away from Jinx, I have also seen Brand's ultimate's fire balls fly outside the howling abyss bridge once. Swain's birds and Skarner's particles sometimes randomly fly from around the map when I am not even close to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV_Tlwn6lh8

I also have the same problem: Ekko's E and Jinx & Brand ultimates not visible... Anyone got a fix for this?

ps: I'm running LoL on a Windows XP SP3.

!Update! - Wish there was a way to mass notify everyone who posted here :(

So I discovered what was causing all these bugs. I disabled the Radeon Settings: Host Application, since I was getting fed up with how useless it was and why I even have it (Catalyst Control Center does exactly what it does and actually does it's job). Anyways, the moment I disabled the Radeon Settings: Host Application every single one of these bugs disappeared (Didn't even need to re-start my computer), timers are all on-time, Jinx/Brand ultimate's work as intended (So does every other bug) and I haven't noticed my game randomly slowing down).

Anyways, disable your Radeon Settings: Host Application and see if these issues go away. If you don't have the Radeon Settings: Host Application than you're on your own still but if people can confirm this is working for more than just me it's a start for people because I've tried everything else and refused to believe it was my CPU running a little hotter than usual (Riot's end solution, not bashing them or anything but I refused to believe that was the issue unless everyone's CPU was running a little hot).

Also, thank god for "Practice Mode". Makes testing bugs way faster and easier.
