Unknown DirectX Error preventing me from joining a game.

I got this while trying to go into game. I haven't updated my computer in a long time, so I updated it (8.1) (bought this year Lenovo Y510P) and the only thing it didn't update was the Graphics card. So I went to Ge Force Experience, it continually crashed on me. Went to reinstall it an it's searching for updates now....for about 6 minutes now. The game is 20 minutes in. And I cannot get to the Support page, because it refuses to load.

I keep refreshing but I'll most likely get a leaver buster, which the only thing this does is makes me wish I didn't update my computer during the night. >.

If all else fails, if you have Steam they have the ability to download various drivers for supported graphics cards. This has saved me more than once.

and Now the support page says this . I do not know what I am expecting of Riot, not even sure if they can help. But Rawr, I am slightly frustrated.

I got the support page to load, they still have the "We are currently performing maintenance on our knowledge base..." flag up. That may be what is getting you.

Okay, Intel Driver Update Utility ended up updating a couple things. I had to restart, which ended up blue screening into System_Service_exception fltmgr.sys which to me suggests it's my end in general, and not just Riot clashing with my Graphics. I tried to play a custom with just myself, and got the same Unknown directX Error. If riot finds anything on that, I'll love them for it.

I had to restart in general before GeForce Experience could see I had an update for Game Ready Driver. When that updates fully I'm going to test a custom match again, and do a scan for stuff on the computer.
