Stuck in spectating mode.

tiwwz··21 votes·34,922 views

I exited out of a spectating my friend's game and found my status still in spectating mode. Most of the UI is blacked out and can't be clicked on. I restarted the game a few time and it didn't resolve the problem.

Fixed this issue for myself, wasn't expecting staffing help. Go into your League folder C:\Games\League of legends\config

When you're in there, delete the fil: LeagueClientSettings.YAML That will solve your problems.

Go to "Applications", CTRL+Click on "League of Legends" to open menu, click on "Show Package Contents" then go to Contents -> Lol -> Config

Hi guys!

If the fix that has already been posted does not fix the issue for you (it didn't for me) but thank you. I had to force close the client through task manager it will then bring up a black screen for a second and eventually you will get the option to reconnect to the spectating or just QUIT which will bring you back to the client you are looking for :D
