Patch 7.1 FPS Drop

iSmellz··19 votes·32,083 views

Ever since patch 7.1 has come, I've started to have enormous FPS drops. I usually am around 70-80fps but with this patch my screen freezes, I have to alt-tab back and forth to make it "update" the screen yet after another 2-3 seconds, the screen freezes again. I've tried repairing the files, re-downloaded the client etc. yet the issue still remains. Is anybody else having the same difficulties as I do?

Same i go from 144 to single digits every time i click but if i stand still i go back up to 144 after about a second or two. I just upgraded my system to the 6700K and GTX 1080 and there shouldnt be nay issues here. I can play alot higher demanding games on high and ultra settings without to much of an issuse

This happened to me as well. And of course the enemy team was boasting in all chat about how badly they were beating us, while my team flamed me. It's dumb and I want it fixed.

I tried out against bots to see if I had the same issues in a custom game and even then my fps dropped.. had like 5 fps or something and then the screen froze again.

  1. go into a custom game
  2. press ALT+Enter
  3. go to video settings and change windowed to borderless. Worked for me. had the same issue /:

Good Luck!

It worked!! Although the resolution of the game is much different, it's more zoomed in which I dislike but guess I'll have to get used to it until Riot fixes this problem!

Thanks for the advice :)

Same issue with _7.1 _ Never had and issue with fps until now. Normally I have it caped at 80fps, Its been dropping as low as 02fps, yes really 02fps at random times.
"Alt + Enter" fixes the problem for about 1min, then its back to a frozen screen!

I have a laptop with AMD cpu with Radeon HD7520G integrated graphics. Before this patch AND updating to W10 Anniversary Edition I had from 120-180fps and 60 constant fps when capped on min performance but recently my fps went from 60-02fps. I already make some adjustments and manage to get 130fps more or less but when I enter a bush, or a teamfight or minions spawn fps drops to 60 then 30 and with skills 02fps :/ I know is not a problem from my PC because I'm playing Path of Exile or other games at constant 60fps or more but league is something special :T

Yes, for the love of god sometimes I want to smash my pc when I get like 2 FPS in the middle of a gank or a teamfight and just stand there and die. I posted 100000 complaints, the response from RITO was always the same - its my PC or internet fault, WELL ITS NOT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS, FIX THIS SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I hope it will be fixed soon. I play on Windows10 Pro and since this Patch I got the same issue. I normally have around 70-80 FPS, but well, in all kind of games my FPS drops to like 5 >.< I dunno if it's a problem with the new client, my OS or something else. But thanks that I know now that I am not the only one with this problem :P

make sure to update your Windows to the fullest extent. A Windows patch caused it so until Microsoft fixes the fix...

I reinstalled as well though it didn't help me at all. I'm sticking to the "alt-enter" option until Riot fixes the problem!

Russian riot confirmed that this issue is caused from riot and their working on it. I wonder when our riot will notice this. All they do is pretty much copy paste " fps guide to everyone that mails them about this issue. No rito just no. I have refactory my mac and upgraded newest version mac os sierra and yet i experience this issue. Such a MadLife..

I'm using my brothers old computer since he bought and built a new gaming computer. I used to be at 80-90fps but since Saturday night my frames have been 10-15. 20-25 if im lucky. After being at such high fps this is unplayable. I hope riot fixes it cause i have acouple friends that want to do ranked flex.

Yes I have that kind of problem too.. My fps was always 70-80 and now it get's like 20.. I dont know what to do but i saw that reinstallation may fix the problem so I'll try it. Gonna leave a comment if it helps :)

I've been having the same issue for months and it's still not resolved. Reinstalled the game twice, tried to repair client updated everything and nothing seems to fix it. Pretty sure it's on Riot's end.

Lunto1 votes

Same for me. Since last week's patch, my usually 90 to 100-ish fps now drops drastically in the middle of games (no matter which mode or map), usually crashing as low as 20 fps or sticking around 30 as soon as teamfights start or there are many spells being cast. Fps that low are honestly unplayable with. I can kiss all my skillshots goodbye while it looks like i am playing with rubber bands attached to my champion.

By now I am assuming it got something to do with certain skin models or particles since this happens in about 75% of all games but not in literally every single one for me.

And yes, I tried all the troubleshooting crap, reinstalled the game, followed several "how to increase your fps"-guides and ran the hextech repair tool, ran corrupt file detection, updated drivers... nothing helped. Lowering the graphic settings doesn't change anything either and why would I have to do that if my graphic card has been totally fine with League ever since I bought it about two years or so ago? So yes, this is a bug and it is super annoying. Please fix this and keep this thread bumped, a friend of mine got the same problem and he is on a completely different system, not even using Windows and still: Same fps drops since last patch, not always but most of the time.

Some are reporting issues with the new geforce drivers, try rolling back to an older version. Could fix it!

I have the same problem I used to have 40-60 fps and i'm fine with that and it is playable it never went below that range ever since the new patch i play in single digits and nothing seems to work even updating my drivers switch the system to performance same issue plz help

Yes, this might solve all your problems.. The simplest answer is to reinstall the game. However.. This part may help most of you. If you have no time to reinstall it such as not being able to check on it due to school or work, simply wait for the new patch.. The new patch has the potential of fixing in-game lag. Such as an FPS drop. Another way to check if your FPS drop was just from the patch bug, try lowering all graphics, shadows, etc. If it still does not go above 100 it is a bug which may be fixed on a new patch.. I was informed by a Riot employee. Thank you Riot. Good luck in solving this. Please let me know if this help you guys.
