Alpha client patch .04 changelog

When viewing another player’s profile, you can now check out their masteries.

Match history has been added to the alpha client, and we’re looking for testers to check out various past games, including those from different game modes, and let us know what they think of how the info is presented and if there are any issues encountered. Here’s what’s available at the moment:

• Overview
• Scoreboard
• Advanced details
• Stats

We heard that having the chat window automatically pop open when receiving a new conversation was jarring and interrupted you if you were in the middle of doing something else -- you’re totally right. We've changed it so that now the chat button pulses and draws attention without being so in-your-face. It also seemed odd to have a folder if you never made one, so we’re removing it until you need one.

• Fixed a bug where players would occasionally not be able to see the champion grid and therefore be unable to pick a champion and be forced to dodge.
• Fixed an issue where ARAM appeared locked and unselectable when first entering game select.
• The timer at the top of champion select should no longer jump forward or backward in time at random.
• Dismissing an error message that pops up in the 'Add Friend' interface no longer closes the box.
• Missing sound effects were added to the context menu options in the game lobby.
• Fixed an issue where a player would see the incorrect game mode if they selected a new one but didn't hit confirm, then navigated away from the page.
• Players are now returned to the alpha homepage if they quit out of a lobby, regardless of what page they were on before they made that lobby.
• Fixed an issue where players weren't able to receive a second invite sent to them if it was for a different game mode than the first.
• The ‘add friend’ icon on the end-of-game screen is no longer selectable next to players who are already your friend.
• Fixed a bug where hovering over tooltips in the end-of-game screen weren't displaying consistently.
• Disconnecting from a game and reconnecting no longer freezes you on the reconnect screen and will properly load you into the game client.
• Clicking on the service status
• Multiple elements throughout the client now look higher resolution on high-dpi monitors, and we’re working on improving others that still look out of focus.

Here’s a list of the issues and bugs we know about in this patch, so there's no need to submit a bug report if you run into these:

General

• Volume settings reset after downloading a patch.
• The settings options window will cover the disconnect notification if you disconnect from the internet while the that window is open.
• The uninstaller becomes unavailable for testers who make a copy of their alpha client.
• If your client is repairing, the status does not indicate the repair’s progress.
• Notification pop ups are experiencing issues where they render behind certain UI elements. In the case of survey pop ups this may prevent you from clicking the “x” to close them, taking the survey will remove the pop up. This is not a clever way for us to force you to take the surveys (we promise).

Pre- and post-game

• Players receiving lobby invites cannot accept them if the existing lobby members include a player affected by leaverbuster and the existing group had already entered and left a queue.
• The invite panel may briefly display friends who are not eligible to be invited.
• If you invite a player to your lobby who is currently affected by leaverbuster and you kick them from the lobby, they will receive a “Game No Longer Exists” message if they attempt to accept a re-invite.
• If you send invites to your lobby in rapid succession via the “suggested” panel, the players who accept displayed information will flicker in and out of the lobby screen.
• If one of your party members loses internet connection, they’ll still appear in your lobby.
• If one of your party members changes their summoner icon, it doesn’t update on other party members’ screens.
• Hitting the enter key or spacebar after clicking "X" to leave a party will cause multiple leave confirmation windows to appear.
• The client loses functionality if you disconnect your internet cable during the ready check pop-up.
• If you were invited to a lobby while editing a rune page, the client will become non-responsive if the save prompt for a rune page is still on screen during a ready check pop-up.
• The background image may be missing when loading into Summoner Rift champion select.
• The champion grid appears for a split second in ARAM champion select.
• The countdown timer in ARAM champ select may appear to skip when using the re-roll function.
• If you’re in champ select with a player who’s using the legacy client and they dodge, you don’t receive an appropriate notification explaining why you were sent back into queue.
• Leaving a match two seconds before the champ select timer runs out will cause you to launch a game client without the League client being open.
• The IP meter on the end-of-game scoreboard has an unintended outline box when hovering over it.
• Various champions’ splash arts are not centered as expected on the champion mastery section of the end-of-game scoreboard.
• After multiple, successive game loops, the client may black screen and lose functionality in champion select.
• After three, successive game loops, the music in champion select does not play.

Friends list and chat

• Hovering over a friend in the friends list displays their game time but no further information that should be present.
• The queue timer that displays at the top of the friends list doesn’t have a map icon present when finding a match.
• Entering/leaving queues or changing active chats in rapid succession can cause a decrease in chat responsiveness.
• Switching quickly between chats will result in history displaying twice.
• A friend may appear as offline during their transition from away to available.
• Friends may move back to the folder they were originally dragged and dropped from if you use the drag and drop feature to move friends multiple times.

Profile

• Champions that are mastery level 5 and 6 still show the mastery experience bar despite it always being full.

Collection

• If you create a mastery page in the current client and then view it in the alpha client, it will display the incorrect name. Attempting to change the name will result in an error.
• Mastery points and icons are not updating correctly after adding or removing points quickly.
• Some mastery icons look out of focus on high-dpi monitors.
• Scaling runes do not list their per level values.
• Mastery pages can not be reordered in the dropdown box.
