Saying this, this broke my game. Froze from this, and now I can't even get there again. One file scan every time. Rito pls.

Somehow I dont think that it's really related to Windows Updates. If you google you can find that this problem has happened before when LoL received updates.

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2mhh29/does_anyone_elses_client_freeze_on_startup/

Those threads are a few months old...and it always starts after a new patch gets rolled out.

Not sure what it is, though...I don't have anything with Punkbuster on my computer so that solution is off the table.

Nice to know im not alone with this...hope it gets fixed soon

I had this same problem as I posted yesterday but today when I opened the client it had a really small patch and after that my client has been working properly without any freezing. I hope this gets fixed soon for all of you who are still dealing with this issue, it's pretty frustrating. :/

This just happened to me. Only lasted like 10 seconds or so, though. Haven't done anything or tried anything. Just staring at the (blank) homepage. I always feel like "that guy" when I'm the first to post my system specs, but maybe it could help them pinpoint this issue, as the "freeze" duration seems to vary player-to-player.

Sigh, you can at least take solace in the fact that you are not alone in this issue. However this started for me yesterday before 5.5. I have already tried uninstall/reinstall as well

Exactly the same thing for my laptop. no matter how many times I restart it, it always freezes at the lol home page.

Right click your league of legends .exe

properties compatibility Then you need to tick ' Run this computer in compatibility for: ' and choose whatever operating system you have.

This is how i stopped my computer freezing after login.

Hi guys! I think this is happening due to Nvidia Driver! The display driver crashes and from there the whole PC freezes!

There are two things that seem to work! First rollback your Nvidia Driver to version 347.88!

The second one is to go to Nvidia control panel! And set integrated graphics card as your preferred card! But this may effect your in game experience!

P.S. this seems like the last resort, you might try other things before switching the preferred card!

I have the same problem, had it on windows 8.1 and now on Windows 10. The only game that crashes is League of Legends, other games work fine ... Pls solve this. Its always happening in ranked and until the pc restarts and responds normally again im 4-5 lvl behind and most of the time thats a loose then :(

Yeah ive had this problem since the patch was released. I've tried uninstalling/re installing but the problem is still there. Every other game on my comp works so my comp is not the issue it seems. >.>

Pete McPwn3/17/2015, 11:19:17 AM1 votes

Client just downloaded a small patch...bug still exists. Client froze after logging in and all the pictures/videos were black.

Almost a week now and we haven't heard anything yet...

Gunihil3/17/2015, 4:26:37 PM1 votes

Same here, I see all the boxes on the homepage but they are black. Not even Ctrl+Alt+Del works. Not sure if relevant, I'm running windows 8.

Pete McPwn3/21/2015, 12:59:35 PM1 votes

That's not a real solution, though...it's annoying and it's a bug and it should be fixxed.

Yesterday I did what always gets recommended and completely uninstalled every Windows Update from the last 2 weeks and reinstalled them. The bug still exists for me and that just makes me think that it's something with the client itself.

a) 5.4 worked fine with those Windows update b) as posted on page 2 this problem occured months ago, those Windows updates weren't even available back then c) The client stopped working on Windows 10 all of a sudden with 5.5? So they must have changed SOMETHING.

ricer0cket3/22/2015, 6:58:17 AM1 votes

Yeah, for me whenever I would DL the patch, I would get an "unknown error occurred" usually would pop out when its at 32% or 99%. I've probably deleted and re installed the game 6 plus times. There were two times I would finish the DL on the patch but when I would click "launch" my game won't launch. I've looked at every possible youtube "how to fix" and threads regarding this but still same results -.-... I just wanna play league!

I just posted separate thread on this. Didn't realize everyone was having the same problem. Was in a game when it crashed too.

There is an update downloading for my league, so I think since this is a glitch with Patch 5.5 this small update might fix it. But who knows.
