== Issues fixed==

<gallery>
=== Borderless Fullscreen Issues ===
+
File:League of Legends - Launcher - Client - General.png|Launcher general settings.
There is also a bug if using the Borderless fullscreen mode in which the game will start loading champions in after selection, but the upper left corner of the game will be in the middle of the screen. This makes it impossible to see 3/4s of the screen, but has a relatively easy fix. Open up the Task Managers [Ctrl+Shift+Escape], right-click on League of Legends, and click "Maximize". This will restore the points to their correct location and fix it. Alternatively, if you can manage it, change the game mode back to Fullscreen or Windowed, and then change it back and it will be fixed. Comparably simple is to press [Alt+Enter] twice.

This can also be fixed by moving your taskbar from one screen to the other while the loading screen is showing, after that you can move your task bar to your screen of preference.

A way to prevent this problem ever happening is to simply not click ANYTHING when the game is loading and the logo appears. Another way to guarantee that this will not happen is to click on chat text bar.

=== Client Doesn't Open ===

==Input==
This issue can occur when clicking to launch the client from the updater. The "League of Legends" emblem will flash a few times, which isn't unusual, but then the client itself will not open. [http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=784361 A guide to fixing this bug can be found on the official forums,] however the final step, completely clearing League of Legends and all programs associated with it from the computer and doing a re-install from scratch, is the only certain fix.

=== Disconnect Untargetable Minions ===

=== Disconnect Untargetable Towers/Inhibitors ===
+
==Audio==
This issue can occur after disconnecting and reconnecting to a game in progress. Turrets or inhibitors which have been destroyed during your disconnect period will appear to still be there, and the next turret/inhibitor along will be untargetable. Pressing A and left clicking the turret/inhibitor may fix this issue, otherwise try reconnecting. (You can also right click beside the tower, and you will then auto attack the tower, as long as it is the nearest enemy unit)

=== Graphics card overheating ===

=== Post-game Statistics Do Not Load ===
+
==Issues fixed==
Sometimes after finishing a game, win or lose, the post-game statistics page will not load and the client will shut down. This is due to a problem with your computer's network firewall. If you're having this problem you may also notice that your client has trouble connecting to PVP.net every so often. Though it is not a permanent solve, you can go in to your antivirus software and temporarily disable your network threat protection. This issue is especially prevalent with users who have Symantec Endpoint Protection.

There is a bug wherein the space bar will randomly stop auto-centering back on the player's champion. Alt-Tabbing doesn't seem to immediately fix this problem, but it usually doesn't persist for long enough to become a major nuisance in-game.
 
Going to Keybinds and rebinding auto locking usually fixes the problem.

One of the most popular mods for League of Legends, LoL Replay (otherwise known as LoL Recorder), is a game recording and replaying mod/program. It has been given the [http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=499342&page=7#post6087865 Ok from Riot], and its openly used by most of their staff and pros. It adds very little load to the computer, and is completely automatic in recording and replaying. The only problem is that Health bars are only loaded when the player is looking at them ingame, this means that if during the replay you look somewhere different to where the player in the replay was looking, health bars become buggy and inaccurate. This is however the only downfall.

=== LoL Replay Bugs ===
+
===Tools===
There is currently an issue with interaction between replays and the recording software Fraps. It is known to be something to do with the cooldown timers on skills, and how they are accelerated when the replay is fast forwarded. There is a fix to this issue in the program. In the settings there is a tick box for a "Fraps fix", and the program will also automatic detect if you are running fraps and ask you if you wish to apply the fix. The setting fixes the issue with Fraps, however it causes the cooldown timers to become un-synced when fast forwarding the replay.
