FPS issues and weird game behaviour.

TheLoamy··14 votes·908 views

Ever since the newest patch came (maybe the one before too) i've been getting frequent fps drops. I play with 40 fps all the time which is bad enough but it drops down to 10ish even when nothing is happening.

I've also experience pretty weird things from my games and i'm paranoid that i have a Trojan on my pc. Game randomly alt tabbed out. Player from the enemy team was randomly muted, it popped up in the chat with "Player is now being muted." and i didn't do it, wasn't even looking at the player list with TAB. (Unless there is a hotkey for muting champions which i may have accidentally pressed).

EDIT: Another in game problem i faced recently was jinx auto attacking minions but wasnt facing them at all. (The character model was facing away from the minions but the minions were still losing health during the auto attack animations). This was during one of my low fps spikes.

EDIT 2: I've seen black pixels flying around the screen sometimes.

I’m having the same issue as well. And the option to show my FPS in the top right next to ping is gone

Does pressing CTRL+F works?

Same problem, but except with my ping. I noticed corpses were bouncing and Cait's ult stayed for longer than it should've, as well as seeing random spots on the map in fog of war, even though there wasn't a ward there, nor was there a ghost poro either. o.O

It was like this for me for couple of patches when they ruined this game with new updates and never fixed it when it comes to FPS.

My fps says the game is running at 144 but often I can tell the refresh rate is not at 144hz while playing for some reason.

I also get like 300 fps unlocked but when locking to 144hz it dips to the low 100s.

Just an FYI, gameplay is more of a thread for balance topics in game, for people to discuss potential nerfs/buffs etc. This topic would fit better to Help & Support where Rioters often respond to these threads with common fixes. I would go ahead and make another thread there now so you wont have to wait for a response _hopefully _:3

Honestly sounds like an app in the background just eating up resources and trying to tab you out to push ADs and stuff in your face. Adware Try scanning your system for viruses and such using a scanner such as Malwarebytes.

You could try to keep task manager open while you play a custom match(if the results are able to be replicated in customs) to see if any applications are hogging up resources during the times you are lagging.

If that doens't help, I would again look for help in Help and Support area.
