macOS Mojave - Voice chat permission bug

Smexhy··82 votes·18,916 views

Hi, in the new update on macOS Mojave (10.14) there is an issue with microphone that’s not working with voice chat.

LoL should now ask me if I agree with it using the mic of my MacBook, instead nothing really happens. Discord for example is working nicely with the new update and asks if I want to use mic.

I know you are not updating macOS client at all and you basically dont give a damn about mac users but if you could sometime in next 2 years fix this many mac users out there will be grateful.

+1 and pls change the whole program to 64bit. Otherswise at some point mac users cant play it anymore.

Not gonna happen until sept 2019 when there will be macOS 10.15 which is gonna stop all 32bit apps completly. Maybe not even after that, it’s such a small percentage of LoL gamers on Mac they could cut us out at some point, so be prepared for bootcamp if you plan to play after that day :D

OK... so I found this today from a link on MacSurfer.com.... it doesn't address LoL specifically, but it appears that it will likely fix the issue. I've not tested it yet as I'm at work and not in front of my Mojave upgraded iMac. But I read through it thoroughly and I'm pretty certain it will work.

Those informations are mostly just for the developers. They need to rebuild the client to support 10.14 and probs adds some new strings into the code. We will have to wait some time guys! [sg-soraka]

Actually... it's not just for developers. The tool is designed for anyone to use. I found it on a troubleshooting site geared toward experienced Mac users.

This will not work, since the OSX client for LoL is not built against 10.14 SDK

I remember when we went for Sierra to High Sierra. I updated thinking, "Oh neat, a new MacOS update, I should get that and stay current!" I never thought about how much Riot evidently doesn't care about Mac users.

For months, League, sometimes every other/third game, sometimes 4 times per game, would consistently crash and in support tickets and elsewhere, Riot's official answer to fix the problem was...

  1. Revert to a previous MacOS (Sierra) because High Sierra (out for probably 5-9 months before the issue was fixed) was causing the problem OR
  2. Use a Windows OS [either different machine or bootcamp, they don't mind which one :^) ]

...and to not play ranked to avoid leaving games/losing LP while the problem persisted. Small indie company btw. Probably just doesn't have the resources to make sure the multi-OS compatible game runs on multiple OSs.

For that reason, I'm still on High Sierra all these months later because I didn't trust that Riot would fix any bugs. I usually use this phrase where it clearly doesn't apply (banging my face on a wall instead of flashing over it) for comedic effect, but "Thanks, Riot."

Thank you for coming to my TedRant gets off of soap box
