"Unknown DirectX Error"

I just lost my second remake to this. Each time it has happened, I had been playing the game before it did, with no changes to my drivers in-between happening, obviously. My Nvidia drivers are updated with GeForce Experience, and I am not opening any software that wasn't open in the previous game.

Apparently, this guy [linked post, not linked thread] fixes the bug by going into the Device Manager and disabling-and-enabling the graphics card. Wtf is this, Riot? If the problem is fixed by resetting the graphics card, why can't your buglogger tell me that? Or do it itself? Take an extra second to check for the error, tell Windows its Graphics Card isn't doing it's job right and ask it to reset it?t I mean, I start my game in Admin mode for multiple reasons already [please don't hack me kthx], but apparently it still can't fix itself.

I just did a full repair, and hope that solves the issue, if it doesn't I will try that guy's recommended fix. But why is this necessary, Riot?

EDIT: Yup. Full Repair did nothing, so I just had to use the Turn-Graphics-Card-Off-And-On-Again solution. Solved it. I feel so fucking trolled.

EDIT 2: This thread here depicts the same problem, and includes an error log that is identical to mine

Have you read the Nivida forums and other threads here talking about the same thing yet?

If you DISABLE and ENABLE a driver and then it works again, how is that leagues problem exactly?

I dont think software is even allowed to do this, at least not software on the level of the league client.
