no, they're ignoring this and the other 50 topics about this problem; I can't really play anymore either, except easy and boring support champions (and I still die because screen freezes)

If they don't want to fix this problem, maybe I'll change to another game. RIOT is proving that they are a ****ty company. Fix your game or lose players.

Look on the bright side, yet another new champion has been completed!


...That's important, right? Apparently riot thinks so.

@BaldJustice
I looked into your theory about the registry value being bad. I found out that the attempt to access that registry is mad by windows for fullscreen applications only. Can you try running your game in Borderless or windowed mode and see if that resolves the problem for you? It should get rid of the accesses for that registry key completely.

@SIGHFOOS
I think you might be right on the money with the problem being some type of "Sleep State" for modern CPUs. I think Windows is saying "hey LOL isn't that expensive to run lets put some cores to sleep. Oh no now its too slow! wake them back up". Finding a way to prevent Windows from powering down the cores is a good approach. Once we understand which specific feature(s) are causing this problem we may be able to implement a fix.

@Everyone:
If you haven't tried already try using Borderless or windowed mode. I doubt this is the problem but it could be a common factor and I'd like to eliminate it as a cause. The more likely cause is Windows somehow throttling your CPU's at inappropriate times. SIGHFOOS's fix of overclocking your CPU may prevent Windows from performing this throttling by taking control away from Windows. You may also want to take a look at the advanced powersaving features in your BIOS. If you see anything about CPU throttling you may try disabling it.

Here is an alternate less invasive way to disable CPU throttling on windows:

P.S. I apologize for the delay since my last post. I've been troubleshooting in more depth with a few of you via IM so I didn't update the thread(not to mention getting sick didn't help). I've made some more progress but still searching.

Thanks for the update!

Glad to hear that i am on the right track, or at least we think i am lol.

Also if any Intel cpu users want to attempt the fix i posted for amd there is an app called Intel Desktop Control Center but it only supports some motherboards so you will have to track down your model number and make sure it is compatible.

As i am on an AMD system i can not attempt this =(
