game minimizes itself

Kàtárìnã·10/18/2019, 10:06:51 AM·6 votes·4,780 views

ive been having an issue since the client updated that causes th game to minimize itself randomly within the first 2 minutes or so of play. it mostly happens during invasions while im kiting another player or during the first wave of farming if i didnt have to leash. it doesnt happen if im just standing around but if there is any sort of rapid clicking/camera movement going on it happens consistently. ive tried changing settings to lower the impact on my computer but that didnt stop the bug. its caused me to lose priority or miss out on early kills multiple times and even took the first buff camp from jungler once which is just begging them to run it down accident or not and has been quite frustrating to deal with and play around recently. it only happens one time in the early game which leads me to believe its more a problem with the game itself and not my settings or hardware.

if this is happening to anyone else some confirmation would be appreciated.

UPDATE: it seems to be caused by using the side buttons on my mouse which i have a-click and wards assigned to. happened earlier today a few times while leashing but most annoyingly as an opponent basically inted into me and before i could kill them the bug happened and literally cost me my life the lane and eventually LP on 2 of those games.

i see that others are also having the issue with those extra buttons so thanks for confirming the problem.

For me it happens when using Mouse Button 4 or 5. Once per game, randomly.

It happens to me when I use the ? ping but idk if it's just that ping or if it happens to any of them. I do it at the start of a game so if it happens it happens then and not later.

This has been happening to me too. Mine is usually later in the game though which sucks. Luckily I'm either safe or dead when it happens, but it's happened a few times when I was in a team fight. Mine happens when I open the emote wheel and ONLY when I try to open the emote wheel. It makes me want to either hotkey it to something else or just stop emoting lol

This happens to me too. Mostly when I try to use active items with mouse buttons on the side, or while kitting and scouting the map on free camera. Very annoying bug tbh.

I have it for weeks. What i do,log, launch the game then, open the task manager and kill the process named something like "Riot services.exe "(not the whole process tree) . It worked for me, no more tabbing out to desktop, but you have to do it every time you relog. I HATE THE NEW CLIENT btw. Hope this workaround works for you as well.

Same problem here, 100% sure its caused by MB4/5 Its Really annoying because its not consistent, sometimes I start a game and try to force it so it won't happen in a critical moment, but it just doesn't work and it ends up screwing a fight when I use an item with mouse button. Been happening since I got the new client.
