I don't believe it has anything to do with the router. I have disabled all firewalls, and I am not using any antivirus.

I am not currently running steam, but I am running Origin. Disabling it does not affect it however. I am also running dual monitors, and one is a 3d monitor.

System Specs:

Two GTX460 in SLI
Intel Sandybridge i5 OC to 4.5GHZ
16 GB DDR3 1600 RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)

Are the updates, fixes, to these kinds of issues going to be posted in this thread? How do i know if this problem is looked at or if the programmers advise me to do something for this problem to not occur.

I wouldn't want to join a spectator mode again until i have some news. : \

Final Update: As of right now, Slick1988, I'm not having any more problems with Spectator Mode. I'm currently about 8 minutes in, and absolutely none of the same problems I was having before.

Since we were having similar issues, perhaps yours are cleared up now, too?

I'll be in Public Chat 1 after the game to let you know (if you are online) whether or not I had any issues.

P.S. After 5 minutes, I loaded the web-browser and Steam to see if they are having any other issues. So far, everything looks great.

EDIT: Also alt-tabbing plenty to really test it, lol. It's still running flawlessly, I'll probably keep watching until the end now. About 13.5 minutes have passed flawlessly. Heading in to finish the whole game.

Final Post here (unless needed):

Works flawlessly for me. I can actually watch games now, no disconnects, nothing random about looping animations. Everything works wonderfully. Was great to use spectator for the first time!

Thanks Ace and all the hard work at Riot for that fix!

We made some adjustments today. Please report back your results to us!

Good...i'm happy with the riot employees now. i'm not angry anymore.

Spectator mode now runs so much more smoothly, thank you!

rarely, when i srart a game and it doesn't load i have to retry connection for it to work, now it happens every single game
and twice
