[Fix] Here is a temporary fix for your client's lag.
So I noticed within the last patch or two there was a significant change to the client.
Many people have seen severe lag within the client making it difficult to change runes during pick, select a champ, or even getting dodges like myself. It looks like something changed and now there is a huge pull in CPU power. Even with a decent (not the best by far) PC, this seems to bog down the client.
How I fixed my problem:
I remember back in Windows XP you could limit a processes CPU usage by percentage, I did some digging and found that feature was removed from Windows. There is a long and extremely complicated way to do it with Windows tasks but look that one up for yourself.
I decided to go with the easiest method. There is a program called BES or Battle Encoder Shirasé. It's a simple little tool that allows you to limit CPU by individual processes. I don't know if linking to a website is allowed so I will let you google it.
- Basically download the zip, extract it to your desktop or other location.
- Run as administrator or you wont see all the processes.
- Make sure your client is logged in and running.
- Click the "TARGET" button.
- Scroll till you find "LeagueClient.exe" and select it. (Will turn blue)
- Click "LIMIT THIS" and a window will pop up asking to continue.
- Click Yes.
You are done!
You can click the "x" to close the process list then just minimize and it will go to your taskbar. Limiting is set to a default of 33%, you can adjust this if you need to in the process list, but I found this is just about perfect.
Hope this helps some. GLHF
