I've now had my game crash on me because of DirectX 4 days in row at seemingly random times of day, from one game to the other with no more then 5 minute pauses between games. The fix is fairly simple but time consuming, all I gotta do is open GeForce Experience and update my driver, but I don't understand why it's so urgent that my game won't start no matter what I do unless I update GPU drivers, and with no warning at all.

Now I don't know who's fault it is and I don't care, I just wan't to play league without being afraid of losing my account to this BS daily DirectX update so, can we please find the reason for this problem and repair it ASAP.

My PC is updated daily when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed I leave it on with auto update turned on just in case (I turn it off again when I start gaming) and while writing this post I'm updating my drivers AGAIN with a team needing my presence in-game but my hands are tied because my driver update is stuck at 3%. Nvidia, Microsoft or Riot games either don't know there's a problem going on with their service at this very moment or it's only a few select people who have this problem because 4 days is just not acceptable for forced updates like this to go unnoticed.

(The picture is not mine but I get the exact same message when champ select is over instead of the loading screen)

Please take action, I just wanna blow some steam but instead I'm boiling over here with these random driver attacks

Reinstall directx

For me it was usually a directx driver problem.

I've done that 3 times across 3 days already, I want a more permanent solution, one that sticks around for more then 24 hours, which is the average (but not precise) time span between my DirectX problems.

I've had this problem with a couple other games, and so has a friend who also owns an nvidia card. I think the latest drivers are borked. I usually restart my computer to get a game working again.

hotfix, it's because nvidia put out a wonky driver
