Disconnect Untargetable Towers/Inhibitors/Minions/Champions
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. The only known way to solution to this is to disconnect manually and reconnect to the game.
Graphics Card Overheating
- League of Legends has no frame rate cap so running it with Vsync disabled may lead to GPU overheating. Ensure you play with Vsync and/or the frame rate cap enabled in-game.
HUD Resetting
- This issue causes the HUD sizing to reset with each game. This issue can be fixed with the following steps:
| Instructions |
|---|
Mouse Lag/General Mouse Problems
This issue occurs primarily when in spectator mode, and can sometimes be fixed by Alt+Tab'ing in and out. Alternatively, logging out and logging back in will solve this issue.
Space Bar Autocentre Doesn't Work
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.
Unable to Use Abilities or Hotkeys
Upon loading game, abilities, summoner spells, and items will not activate when the corresponding key is pressed. It is as though the button press is not registering. Self-casting will work for some abilities, as well as using modifiers such as ctrl + key. This problem is fixed by exiting the game and client (as well as closing the process if necessary) and restarting the game.
Issues unresolved
Cursor corruption on AMD GPUs
- There has been a bug in the drivers of AMD's GPUs for years where the cursor may corrupt over time and turn into a vertical line that looks somewhat similar to a comb or into a white square. There is no solution besides restarting your computer, moving your cursor rapidly across the screen, or enabling a software cursor, which includes Windows' pointer trails setting.
