[CRASH] Black screen upon loading into a game

I recognize that this has likely been reported before, but in the past few hours of my friend and I playing we've encountered this bug twice, both times causing us to lose the game. We'll go through champ select all fine but once we get into the loading it'll simply black screen, nothing else. No firewall notification, no windows error popup, just black screen with the League logo on it. The only solution we've found is restarting our computers and sometimes we have to do it two, three times until we can connect. We live across the country from each other so it's not on our side. Also, every time it happened it happened to both of us, not just one or the other, so perhaps it's a problem with the duo system? Either way, thought I'd put my experience out there in hopes that no more LP will be lost due to this bug.

How to reproduce:

  1. Try to connect to a game.
  2. Get (un)lucky.
  3. Black screen.

Not really sure what causes the bug :/

I've had this bug a few times before but only recently has it been happening as often as it has been.

I had the same issue. I lost two games today because I couldnt connect for the first 7-15 minutes of the match. Because of this I lost around 35 LP. This needs to be fixed because I wont be playing this game till it is. Its not fair to me or my team mates when this happens. Then I get a AFK warning, and my entire team reported me.... I have never intentionally left a game in my life, nor will I, and now because of this I wont be able to receive the "good player" rewards in the future. This needs to be fixed ASAP

It worked for me. Credit goes to the guy on the Reddit thread, not myself. I am but a messenger. :)
