Camera lock bug

Kingdor·Aug 17, 2019·1 votes·1,331 views

I had to reinstall league recently after I wiped my hardrive. Since then I have had a bug with using spacebar in unlocked camera mode. the issue is that while playing I am in unlocked camera, but use spacebar to keep the camera locked during teamfights and such. Half the time now, my spacebar doesnt work. It even affects my typing in game, so that all my words meld together and my sentences are unreadable. It "sticks" for lack of a better word for about 7-10 sec and then is fine for maybe 15 sec. It makes playing the game exceptionally frustrating, and I know this is a bug that many people have encountered. From what I have seen, support has said to delete the config and game file under the config folder, but I have tried that, reinstalling the game, even resetting my comp again. I really wish this bug was given more attention over bugs that barely affect gameplay except for maybe 2 champs (cough, pointless stuff like more cluttered indicators on oriana, cough). All I know is that this bug is beyond annoying.

Try assigning the "Space" key to "Select Self" in the settings instead of "Center Camera on Champion"
If that doesn't work open the Practice Tool and after the loading screen minimize the game and delete "PersistedSettings.json" along with "game.cfg". Afterwards, exit the PT and get into another custom/PT game and try assigning your custom keybindings again.

I have already tried both since they have been suggested in the other threads about this issue, sadly, none of that has worked. I really wish they would find a way to fix this that works for everyone rather than like 1/5 people.

Are you sure you don't have any apps running in the background that could be causing this? Also, does this happen in other games too?

If you are running windows 10 make sure sticky keys are disabled as well.

The only other apps I have running are discord and google chrome, neither of which has presented an issue before. This is also isolated to the actual game, in all other apps, the keyboard functions as normally (even in the launcher it works normally, its just an in game issue.) I also went and disabled sticky keys (worst thing ever besides auto updates) and it still is an issue. I also ran the repair tool, and reinstalled the game again after completely factory resetting my system. Im starting to wonder if its related to a recent windows 10 update cause that is the only thing that has changed for my system in the last month which is when the issue started.

What about all the "gaming" features (game bar, game dvr etc.) in the windows settings? Have you tried disabling those?
