I found an older forum with similar problem. I followed the instruction and deleted the folder, I relogged afterwards and everything is fine.

Exact same problem, and then the first game I tried to play on the patch gave me a "The game has crashed. Please try to reconnect to the game." error message.

Update: It has been 19 hours and I am still unable to enter a single game, even a custom made match. I have disabled my firewall, checked my permissions, ran as administrator, and restarted my computer. I am on Windows, not a Mac as well. I am going to try uninstalling and re-installing league now. I will update on rather or not that corrects my issue.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and didn't get any changes, wouldnt be surprised if you didn't get any either :/

8.1 here. I am not currently having this issue, however it's clear people are. I encountered the freezing bug before on Bard's release, sad to see it's still here for the 8.1 users.

I'm just here to point out not everybody is, but it sounds like many people are, so I'll just be in my corner now.

If you have this, or computer freeze after logging in. Right click your League icon and choose properties. Then choose compatability, check "run the program in compatibility mode" box and choose your Windows 8, and then check run as admin box. Fixed my client recently.

I tried what Petoox said, and still nothing was fixed. but my home screen instead of being black has all the pictures very huge and has a scroll because the images from the home page are just huge. Jesus.

I'm getting this same issue, but it didn't start until after the small patch today. Patch 5.14 was fine up until today when my game most recently updated.

I login just fine, but once I get to the homepage, my mouse freezes as does everything else... Hope this gets fixed very soon...

That's how it looks normally when I login for the first 5 minutes.

Same here. Or maybe my computer picked yesterday to become brokedick. Because shortly after the home screen crashings, it has now become a permanent black/blank screen. I guess I can make lemonade and be thankful that the power light turns on though.

Exact same problem. =( I'm not having any in-game or match related issues, just the home screen being black and being unable to click on anything save for the play button. I've experienced no freezing as well. This only started in Act 2, during Act 1 I had no issues. I've tried a reinstall / repair client / run as admin / compatibility settings and nothing is working. Hoping when the next Act comes out this will be fixed.

Same problem here. This is what my screen looks like - http://gyazo.com/c124cbe53c1a7cfa26e062c2fa1f81e7 I am using Windows 8.1. I reinstalled League, and still have the same problem. Does everyone else here have a NVIDIA graphics card? None of my friends have this problem, and they don't have this card, so it might be the issue. I'm just throwing things out there.

I'm having a similar issue on 8.1 with a GTX 780. I can't even log in though. :(
