Game tabbing out

Business trooper··1 votes·3,504 views

Myself and some of my friends have recently noticed since the last patch that while in game league will randomly tab out without us touching ALt+tab. It does this a few times a game at seemingly random times. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Hmmm we previously had a bug where when you pressed mouse 4 (often the "back" button on the mouse) in summoners rift, focus would be given to LeagueClient. That bug was fixed a while ago though.

Have yall noticed any sequence of actions that causes it to lose focus? Someone raised this to us today. I think we are starting to investigate it but don't have any leads just yet.

Just seems to happen at random more so if I am clicking a lot, if there had to be something that seemed to "cause" it.

I have noticed the issue. And think I've located the problem. Check my post.

This has been happening to me too, and it sometimes happens several times in a row. Don't have any other programs open/running. Glad to know im not alone.

Been having this issue occasionally but of those times I had something like music playlist on youtube playing so it might be related to something running in background.

I've always had music in the background and it didn't start happening until the latest patch. It has to be something in the client that got changed.

For me it tends to happen around 2:00 minutes ever since patch 10.4. I'm on a laptop.. could the trackpad be causing some issue? I use a wireless mouse to play and don't touch the trackpad but who knows.

This has been happening to me in every match I play this patch. It normally happens in a fight when I am rapidly clicking resulting in my death. LOL.

Ah ha! It's not just on my end! Neat.

I've been sitting in base before and not clicking anything at all and it will tab me out to desktop. It's not reliant on any mouse or key presses, though having anything in the background (icons or anything that can be clicked on) tends to make it happen more. Only started happening after this patch.

This is also happening to me as of recent, it's really unfortunate to have game play interrupted like that

Having the same problem for about a week (?) or so, it happens almost every game and in some games even 3 or 4 times. Sometimes it happens twice in a row in the same minute, sometimes it only happens at the very end when the nexus is about to explode.

I've tried closing all other applications while playing, disabling all non-Microsoft related background apps, tried pressing the mouse 4 button, updated graphics drivers, disabling the Office background task handler registration/logon thingy that has been suggested a lot, disabled antivirus and firewalls, made the League Client close while in game, and made a custom game where I click literally everywhere on the screen to see if it has effect.

Nothing works, I'm losing games because of it since it takes me about 5 seconds to re-focus the game. Last option, playing borderless or windowed, but those make camera- and mousemovements feel very stuttery for me and cuts my fps in half. Not gud, Rito ples T-T

I tried all this also before coming here! Even uninstalled recent windows updates. I tried the hextech repair tool also and forced repatch.

The last thing ive tried is a full restore which i havent had a chance to test yet.... also 10.5 came out today, fingers crossed.

99.99% sure its a League problem though and not a windows thing, all other games are still working fine, no tabbing out of cod, apex etc...

I got a bug where I disconnect from the game out of nowhere, I put in a report about it. It happened in a custom recently, and another a few days ago.

Same (except the near end of game part, my game is alt-tabbing itself at any point in the game, upto 4 times a game), happening twice in a row too almost everytime, since patch 10.4, very infuriating.
