I'm getting beyond sick of this problem that has been occurring for months now with no support. The amount of games that I've "dodged" because of the buggy client is ridiculous and the fact I get punished with a cool down timer is just salt to the wound. How long is it going to take before this issue is actually addressed?
Deep Terror Nami1 votesThis is a problem on your end, so you're going to need to do some troubleshooting. Please visit the Bug Splat & Game Crashes article for steps in fixing these kinds of issues. It's probably an issue with your video card/drivers, or fixed by doing a client repair.
Imminent Rueage1 votesI appreciate the effort to help as I have tried everything from client repair to re-installs. I've even reinstalled all of my drivers including my graphics card and I check for updates daily. This problem just started after the new draft and ranked select was released and having conversations with others I'm not the only one with this issue.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesFor video card issues, in addition to reinstalling the driver you want to try rolling back to a previous one or updating to a beta driver (if possible). The current version may be the issue, so you do those just in case.
Third party applications may also be the issue. Lolreplay was known to cause crashes in the loading screen for a time, for example. It's hard to pinpoint the issue if it doesn't happen every game, but things like overlays and recorders are particularly susceptible to doing this so it's good to try uninstall/disabling or reinstalling them. It's not often, but audio drivers can result in game crashes as well.
You can post over on the Help & Support board, but visiting the Wrenchmen (and other volunteers) at the League Community Discord is a great way to get help from those more knowledgeable than me.
