[BUG/FREEZE] Attempting to Move Friend Groups Up or Down On Your Friends List

MIDNIGHT KITE·12/10/2014, 10:32:30 PM·4 votes·6,054 views

Whenever I right click the different friend groups that I've organized and categorized I am unable to move the groups up or down. The client just loads for a while, freezes and then if I click anything it asks me to either wait for the program to respond, or close completely. This is very frustrating because I organize my friends based on Elo categories. I want to organize the folders on the right pane and I can't because of this bug. I thought this was an interesting malfunction that should be looked into by Riot. Thx!

-Client Friend List Freezing on ReOrder WORKAROUND-

Currently if you have more than one group on your Friends List and you like to have them in a certain order you're probably frustrated and annoyed that they will periodically change order and you have no way to change them, and if you do, the client freezes for a few seconds and nothing happens after its unfrozen.

Here is what you do if you are having this problem;

  1. Rename any of your Groups. I simply put a letter in front of one of my Group Names so it would change position based on the default positioning using Alphabetical Order.

  2. Change the position of your Renamed Group by moving up or down. The client still freezes for a few seconds usually. It's also possible your newly Renamed Group will or will not move. This is okay.

  3. Rename a second Group and also move it up or down after it repositions. The client will possibly again freeze for a few seconds, but the Group should now move and any and all Groups can now move without renaming.

You can rename your Groups back to their original names and they will stay in their positions. Further, if you relog the client and move your groups the Client will no longer freeze for a few seconds and your groups will move as needed.

This is very frustrating. Whenever i create a new group then log off of league it auto puts them at the bottom for some reason. I have three friend groups, randoms, good friends from league/or other games, or irl friends and my irl friends are my 'most used' group and it sits at the bottom so i have to scroll all the way through my friends list to see if they are on/ invite them to a game/message them.

I dont know if my problems have anything to do with this, but I have to click reconnect to chat many times before i can see friends, and everytime i get in a game the client freezes up and reconnects.

The bug is fixed for me, have you tried it recently? Maybe it is just fixed for me but maybe it's fixed for everyone.

Yeah looks like this has been fixed. My client still freezes when moving groups down like 10% of the time. Thanks riot!

the ladder part of your comment is unrelated I think. the first part sometimes happens to me if I've been off pvp.net for a while for instance. The bug I'm talking about though is consistent and it just happens when shifting friend groups around.

BUMP for RIOT.
