[CRASH] - mac players are once again enduring painful failure to load in after champ select
We've run into the dreaded black screen of doom once again. Since the new season began, there has been, for me, an enormous uptick in instances of failed load-in. Particularly over the last week or so, about 15-20% of the games I have joined have left me staring at a black screen after champ select concluded. Even more unfortunate is that in 90% or more of those cases, no amount of attempted reconnects or client restarts succeeded in getting me back into the game. This wastes not only my time but the time of my would-be teammates, and it leaves me with completely undeserved bans. It's beyond frustrating at this point, especially with the fact that the problem, for at least a short window of time, appeared to be taken care of. I can't begin to tell you how much LP I have lost to this problem!
Steps:
- Queue up for any pvp game type (I have not played with bots before and therefore do not know if the problem exists there)
- Select your champion and wait for the start timer to tick down to zero
- Feast your eyes on a blank, black screen (again, 15-20% of the time for me over the past week or so)
When this was last a problem, roughly between patches 4.15 and 4.17, mac players did not even receive any sort of ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the problem for far too long. We had no idea whether or not anybody at Riot even knew about it. Can you at least let us know that you've heard of / observed the problem and are once again working on it? Thank you!
