Bug in League of Legends with the new NVidia GeForce Driver actualization. (358.50)

Hello everyone, I run League of Legends on an Alienware M14x and usually is really smooth and I have no problems with it.

I was so excited to play the new Star wars Battlefront Beta but it required me to upgrade the NVidia drivers to the latest version they just launched for running this beta. I could play the beta fr a while, but when I wanted to play LoL I just entered the clients, joined to a friend and searched for a normal game. We selected champions and waited in the loaing screen. When the game started my screen was blinking between the game and a black screen, I could not click anything or do anything, I just listened to the game and saw that blinkings. I closed League of legends an I runned it using just the inel graphics that come in my Alienware. The game was jfine and I did not have the blinks. Checked again running it with NVidia and everything crashed again. Then I tested other game that I have (Rocket League) with NVidia and it worked fine, so, I think ther might be a problem between LoL and the newest NVidia driver.

Anyone else having this problem?

I had same problem and had to disable my NVIDIA GeForce GT Display adapter. It may be because of the new update that that display adapter had. Hopefully they fix it but for now that's what I do, I hope it helps.

I'm having a similar issue. When I get put into the game, my game client freezes. I have to CTRL + ESC to go back to the dekstop, then click on league of legends client and it resolves itself... until the end of the game where it does it all over again.

I am getting this exact same error. I have to close the game and join again several times to get it to work. Any help?

Hi, I'm having the same problem since yesterday and at the beginning I thought my client was bugged so I even reinstalled the game thinking it would get fixed but it didn't. A friend of mine suggested me that it could maybe be something to do with the Nvidia Drivers. Then I remembered I had just updated the drivers so I thought maybe the game was having problems with that update. So my friend recommended me to download the previous driver (going to the website and looking for it) and that's what I'm doing right now and hoping the issue gets fixed.

PS: sorry for my english, it's not my main language

Edit: Ok guys I just downloaded and installed the previous driver and tested the game and there was no blinking screen problem. I'll probably stay with this driver until a new update is available.

Same here. Sometimes alt + tab seems to fix it temporarily, but the problem usually returns later.

I have the same problem, but window mode works for me actually. Maybe it helps someone to play until the bug is fixed.

i cannot entering the game anymore after loading screen.

Same issue here. Using a GT 730M chip in my gaming laptop.

Will try to install an older version of the driver tonight to fix the problem. Fingers crossed.

(I've tried every setting I can manipulate both in-game and within the control panel -- nothing appears to resolve the issue. Limiting FPS to 30 helps slightly.)

Happening to me as well. For some reason, LoL gave me the DirectX errors today so I updated my Nvidia drivers. Now, my screen flickers and I get bug splats. Can't wait for the system's automatic ban/suspension for afk-ing

Yeah Guys, roll-back to previous drivers works and resolves this issue. For those who need steps to do it:

Windows Vista or Windows 7 steps to remove your driver: Click Start Click Control Panel Windows Vista: Click System and Maintenance and then System or simply System (in Classic view). Windows 7: Click System and Security and then System. In the left pane, click Device Manager Double-click on Display Adapters Double-click on your NVIDIA GPU Select the Driver Tab Click on Uninstall Driver Restart the System when it asks you to ( Just do it. )

Install the older drivers from : http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy [ Preferrably 355.98 ] Restart again => Issue fixed.

I did this for 12 Systems that were affected so im super sure its the driver issue.

Cheers :)

Exactly the same problem here. Has always to Alt+Tab to play, and sometimes (rarely) during the game it freezes, but i still hear the songs. So i have to Alt+Tab again so i can play. I have a MSI Gaming Laptop with Nvidia GTX 850M

I had the same problem, but this was a very easy fix start -> control panel -> hardware &sound -> Device Manager -> display adapters -> right click on Nvidia -> properties -> diver tab -> rollback Driver button -> wait until the button goes gray. This is problem with that particular nvida driver. I don't know if StarWars BF forced you to have that specific nvidia driver to play if that is the case then you'll just have to wait for nvidia to get their shit together.

As I am having the exactly same issue, i tried to play League on my separately installed Windows 8. It seems like there are no driver issues with 358.50 in windows 8 while the screen is going crazy with League in Windows 7.
