League Freezing my whole pc at 5-7 mins in game.

I have never had a problem with league prior to this and I have been a fairly active player for the last 6 years or so. About 3 or 4 days ago i joined my first match of the day and all was good until i hit about 5 1/2 mins into the game and everything froze. I tried ctrl alt delete and was able to click on task manager but it opened in the background, and this was all i was able to do. Alt-tabbing, shift tabbing, nothing worked I was stuck on a frozen league screen. I had to manually turn off my pc via power button and restart everything just to get my pc to function. It has happened to me in every game since then and I now have leaverbuster and have gotten reported tons of times for afking. I've look all over the internet and spent countless hours going through forums trying to solve the issue. I have found a few other reports of this, but the only recent ones have no responses and the others are from a few months back after the pike update. Apparently a lot of people had this problem then too, but the it was solved by the dev team. Every fix I have found has not worked for me. I am unable to give a dump file when it occurs bc the whole pc locks down. Help me please rito.

Hey there!

Could you provide me the following info:

  1. Your machine's CPU / Processor
  2. Your machine's GPU / Graphics card

Hello, here are the specs:

Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070 Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (8CPUs), ~4.0GHz Memory: 20GB RAM OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Thanks for the info! Your AMD processor is the reason why you're experiencing performance issues 5 - 7 minutes into the game. This is due to the anti-cheat update in the recent patch which is incompatible with certain CPUs / GPUs, particularly AMD.

Riot is aware and is actively investigating a fix, unfortunately, there isn't another solution at this time.

Would rolling back to the AMD software before this update fix it until riot fixes it on their end?

Thanks for all of the help!

No and it's not advised to roll back an update if it doesn't cause any issues - with League it is but to roll back an update solely for League I would strongly advise against. If anything updating your software again may resolve the issue but it's not a guarantee.

Okay, Thanks again!

How will I know when Riot fixes this?

Option 1: Test in a custom game everyday (recommended option) Option 2: I can post when I receive confirmation of a (potential) fix but it's likely I'll forget due to the number of threads I'm responding to. Feel free to reply to one of my posts every day or so to remind me.

It's literally been 2 weeks since this bug started occurring and it still isn't fixed. I have tried testing it daily in bot and custom games, but the bug never occurs in bot and custom games. It only happens in any type of pvp game (ranked or not), so the only way I can test it is by playing normals or arams. I am up to a 30 minute leaverbuster and there is nothing I can do but just not play. I am a paying riot customer who should be able to play this game. The riot support team is huge and I can't imagine I am the only league player with an updated amd driver. It is ridiculous that this bug cannot be fixed considering this issue of freezing with drivers has happened multiple times in the past, riot knows how to fix it and just hasn't. WHY? My 6 year old account now has a horrible reputation and is being punished for leaving games when I literally can't control it in any way. I have recommended and gotten tons of people into the game or to come back to the game. Honestly, I should be rewarded for having to put up with this bullshit.

Does this still occur with Patch 8.17?
