Loading Screen stuck - The game starts without me

In about 1 out of 6 games when the Loading Screen finishes loading, it gets stuck and freezes. The game starts without me! I don’t hear any sound and can't press anything, I only see the frozen Loading Screen. It happens in any game mode (Aram, TFT, sadly Ranked (loosing LP because of this...)).

I can’t tab out of the Screen, but I found a really annoying (but working) workaround:

  1. Alt + Tab out of League to another window (It won't show up, since League covers the screen, but it's technically there and focused)
  2. Press the Windows Key
  3. Search for Task manager and open it
  4. Navigate with your arrow keys to the League-Game running task (thats quite hard without seeing the Task Manager, but holding Alt + Tab gives you a preview of it) and close it by pressing Enter
  5. Press Reconnect on the League Client
  6. Start your game 3 minutes behind, hurray!

My friend who I play with uses a Mac and doesn’t ever have this problem. So I think it only occurs on Windows. I asked in the All chat of a couple of games, if anyone else has this bug. And averagely 3-4 out of the 10 players have it. Thats a pretty big deal. Please fix this. [sg-shisa]

Dude this happens to my entire in real life freinds group ever since we started playing again this season. We come from seasons 1-4 ish basically 2012-2014/15 era and this game used to bugsplat upon loading initially so you at least had more time. Now it’ll show the game literally loading and then the circle will stop. Does everything you listed too a T. I have 5 friends this affects plus me almost on the same amount of games schedules. Also happens more frequently if you don’t restart your computer right before you log in fresh for the first game of the day...... bugs are insane right now.

Played blind pick, aram and urf and this didn't happen, as soon as I jump into ranked, my loading screens goes to 100, then everything freezes and cant manage to launch into game and then I can't even exit the loading screen because everything is frozen, not even able to access task manager. The client closes but the loading screen remains... Very frustrating
