[2022] League FPS midgame slowdown: Call for details

Originally posted by HoneyBadger1227

I've been having this issue for almost a year now non stop with frame drops and what seems like lower than displayed FPS.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six core

GPU: NVIDIA Gtx 1650

GPU driver version: Latest versions for the past 6 months

Reproduction rate: Every game around the 9-10 min mark lasting until around 25 mins.

Overlays: None I used to run blitz but I don't anymore.

I haven't played a game in awhile (2 weeks or so) or I would include logs but hope this helps some!

Always this. If are running 2 monitors with windows mode you'll get janky ass phantom "alt-tabs" where you're still in game with mega FPS drops

wouldn't you want to know monitor/display as well?

I used to get this exact issue with a Ryzen 1600 and windows 7 (yes i know those are technically incompatible, i made it work), but it vanished along with the ryzen CPU scheduler improvements in windows 10.

Which microsoft has broken on and off over time, so maybe check with them 👀

edit: yeah, looks like microsoft screwed ryzen again. or someone did. Someone says process lasso (only physical cores, only single core cluster/CCD) fixes it, which also worked for me years ago.

Currently using an R5 3600 with windows 10 enterprise LTS 2021, and have not experienced this issue since, including this patch.

You guys finally acknowledged this issue ...?

Let me guess a streamer cried about it ? Anyways ...

Sweet and short

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: RX 580

GPU driver: Recent

Reproduction: It happens every game starts around 7-10 min when the buffs are about to respawn.

Overlays:no

DX9: Did not make a difference

Turning off SMT/Hyperthreading made it 2x times worse so i keep it on.

RPD File

Hopefully u finally fix it (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

That would be really interesting to see what the root cause/fix is.

Thanks.

Can you give an example of this with expected fps?

Originally posted by FbOrx

Ive been in contact with your support team, i tested disabling everything in my PC, clean OS install and test it and nothing worked out in the end. One thing someone told me that worked for them was disabling multithreading on their CPU. From what Im seeing in the comments a lot of the specs use ryzen 2600s. Weird thing is this didnt happen previously and started happening 6 months ago. Mine happens consistently at minute 6-8 and stops mid game basicaly

I'm not sure if I've experienced this exactly, but yesterday during a game I did have some strange FPS stuttering that would come and go but it was only during laning phase, as in around somewhere between 5-15 minutes.

And my fps has only started stuttering this noticebly yesterday, on my first and only (currently) game on 12.20

I'm not too sure if this is what you're looking for, would it be helpful if I provide the file anyways?

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X GPU: Palit Gamerock OC 3080 (LHR I believe if it matters) Drivers: 522.25 (Latest Game Ready Driver)

I'll get the file once I'm back at my PC and upload it if needed.

Sorry I get that, I am asking from a data collection perspective (my job, currently). What is the advantage of reddit over even google forms, which allows you to automatically collect standardized data? Do you have some text-to-csv tool or are you collecting by hand?

It stays like that till 15 minutes, then the FPS go back up, but still lower than they actually should be I think.

Just wondering if you are wanting some of my .rpd files? Also the drop happens at 30 minutes in almost exactly every game. So a lot of files to share

Originally posted by Moon_Breaker

Still having the problem on old hardware. 70-110 FPS until 5 minutes or so, after which it starts floating from 25-50 FPS.

CPU - AMD A6-5400K 3.6 GHz, OC'd to 4.5 GHz - Also happens with my AMD Athlon x4 750k in the same system, though I'm not currently using that CPU.

GPU - Nvidia GT 710 2gb

GPU Driver Version - 27.21.14.5671

Reproduction rate - Every single game for a couple months now

Zero Overlays, DX9 Legacy mode doesn't make a difference, CPU usage doesn't change noticeably during the frame drop time, and the GPU is never fully utilized.

I honestly assumed it was just my potato PC, considering my dated parts... But it runs great for the first few minutes, and I saw this post, so thought I might as well chime in and see about finding an improvement. I tried using the other (the better x4 750k) CPU for a bit to see if that made a difference since my CPU is the weakest link, but all it does is increase the early framerate to 150+, after a few minutes it experienced the exact same frame slow down.

Edit: If there's somewhere specific to send the RPD file I'd be more than happy to after I play a game, just let me know where to drop it.

Originally posted by OldConny

I can feel youre tired and a bit tilted by this bug, but don't say that "its ur potato pc", because u, as Riot, are fighting hard for 3/4 of your playerbase to be able to play smoothly on medium end pcs.

I have Ryzen 5 too and I still have this problem, duh, I feel and I know that u probably just patched it somehow thinking its fine, but... Now, after enabling SMT on again, in loading screen u can feel ur cursor is at 30fps.

Game still is fps dropping after couple of minutes, not that harsh as it was, but still. Its not resolved Tony

Originally posted by carefish

I had not played much since reporting this bug as it was severely impacting any fun I might have had during a match. I have only played one match just now, I think the performance problem is gone. I hope others and mine RPD files have helped narrow it down, big thank you to you /u/RiotTony and the other Riot employees.

Optionally : the fps drop for me is happening in 12.23 patch, now is huge problem, from a 144 fps at under 50fps, unplayable, before the patch all ok.

What overlays are you running : only blizz, tried off and on, nothing change.

Did running the game in DX9 mode help? try dx9 and 12, same thing but in dx12 is better, less fps drop.

Did running with SMT/Hyperthreading turned off help? tried both, same thing

Reposting to have "primary" post. Yes, I still experience it. At the start before minions spawn 180 - 300fps, later hovering just around 100, sometimes dramatically dropping. I think my game lagged for a second this game, but it might have been the previous one. It is worse when more intense (fights) happening InGame.

RTX 3070, Ryzen 5 3900X, SSD, every game, 32G ram, GPU utilitazion still around 10%, CPU also around 10%. Overlays: Blitz, Porofessor, Discord, but I tried it without in practice tool and it was pretty much the same. Newest BIOS, GPU driver v. 527.56.

I spent this entire day trying to resolve it I finally found this thread. I hope you can help with that, I am getting pretty frustrated with that. 100, sometimes dramatically dropping.

I started alt tabbing after experiencing this issue..

I have been capping to 244fps I believe. As you can see my system specs are very high end. This issue only occurs within league and no other games / applications.

I can try uncapping my frame rate if you think that will help. As I have a 120hz monitor I thought capping at 244 was fine but getting several drops/stutters is frustrating

Thanks for your reply appreciate your insight here happy to assist with any further info or details

Hi u/RiotTony,

Could you take a look at below? I have logged it with Riot support but not getting a lot of traction, I have performed a clean boot and removed overlays but not getting the results I hoped for.

CPU : Ryzen 7 6800H

GPU: RTX 3060 , Latest version 527.56

Reproduction rate: each game

What overlays are you running : None, suggested to turn off

Did running the game in DX9 mode help? : It did not help

Games start up and hitting 200+ fps on medium settings, then slowly move towards 110-160fps range. I would expect this to be much more stable and higher based on above specs. Would be great if you could take a look at it.

Thanks for the reply! Apologies - Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VEvlOLFgWsyuTCjyZ1s2PjuMWuyZj7fZ/view?usp=sharing

I was expecting to hit same fps as valorant, there I can run everything on max setting and hold 200fps+ without a problem.

Also some extra feedback I got through the ticket:

"There is a wide-spread issue for players who have Ryzen CPU's, which is causing them to drop a lot of frames. And indeed our teams are aware of this and working on it as we speak. "

So it seems that League is aware of it and are working on it? :)

Originally posted by perplexingalpaca

Hmmm, not that I am aware off. When I play it should be consistent at 12-15 ms. I am running a wired cable from a wifi booster.

So it would be possible to hit valorant at 240 plus fps through the same connection but with league be around 130 fps?

i reinstalled windows 4 times got latest drivers from chipsets to bios to no avail. i tested that minions cause major frame drop in practice tool. my main issue is not just frame drops in mid game it's throughout the entire game. i have my game capped at 177 and it barely ever hovers there. even if i try different caps like 60, 144 or 240 it can never stay stable.

guys, the user u/No150Mewtwo found the solution to the problem, thank you so much really, i was freaking out.

you have to install / move the game on a mechanical HDD, no matter the path, and the fps issues will disappear, you will have drop fps issues if you install the game on an SSD or an M2, which I tested, but with a mechanical hdd you will have spykes at 100 fps for only a few milliseconds, then they return to normal as you set them.

it will probably be something I/O related

.rpd file

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qwqf53L9GyLjvAVPfUfjpyL5weDl5aMh/view?usp=sharing

last 4 game is : 1HDD 7200rpm, 2M2, 1HDD 5400rpm,

the game work better in hdd 7200rpm, in 5400rpm you will have more spyke than fps, while with the 7200 they are rarer, they happen 3-4 times a game

The worse part is that it doesn't happen only when the minions are on screen. They just have to be in the game to cause that slowdown, which is weird I think. And still, my GPU is under 10%, CPU too.

You also said this is not the same issue as the second-or-so-long stutters. So you are aware of that one too and will be resolved? Or is it something not related to LOL? That started happening after I updated my BIOS and moved LOL to another harddrive. It happens once or twice a game but quite badly. I see that the frame freezes when damage popup is shown (as my E approaches anivia). This example is NOT THAT BAD, there are much worse examples, but I didn't manage to clip that.

Okay, I moved it back to my SSD just to be sure it wasn't caused by this. Turned of SMT. Now, after rewinding 10 minutes (not locking them up), I am at about 135 FPS looking at them and 160 when I am not. Seems fine now. I am going to try ranked and will report back if the problems still happen. I always thought the minion position is done strictly on server side, as they stop when you disconnect from the internet for example.

Originally posted by genesiscz

Ok, turned that up. I get that it could be CPU limitation, but shouldn't it at least use around 100% of one of the processors?

The issues started around 1year ago, before that I always ran LoL without any issues on highest settings on 240+ FPS. Would love some help, since I am suffering and I feel like I tried everything. Checked hardware, deleted windows and played LoL only with drivers and nothing else installed on PC, had FPS specialists look over it, updated bios, and what not... pls help :(

Can't recall experiencing a continuation of the issue when I completely shut down PC and started up, however still had issues when I restarted.

Also per the last game and another that i've played, it didn't allow me to reconnect to the match and brought me back to the lobby as if no game was in progress (I doubt the game was over at that point in time as attempted to log in from another device immediately). This is inconsistent though as I have been able to reconnect to matches when the FPS issue occurs and I need to shut down and restart my computer.

With regards to the FPS issue this tanked to literally 1-10fps from max screen supported frame rate.

PD: I have tried all configurations, drivers and performance profiles.
It's something that already has me frustrated, my pc can give a lot of fps and in LoL it goes down to 70 and then it stays in that range regardless of the quality it has.
Another thing I want to add is that my rtx is 125w, but yesterday I installed cpu-z and it tells me that it is 80. Until then I don't know what to do, because the manufacturer has said and in the driver information that it is 125w, I don't know if that is the possible problem.

yes 180hz monitor but i’m using radeon chill min fps 178 max fps 178 it’s basically a frame rate cap however the game is not liking 3rd party frame rate capping it doesn’t cooperate. i just tested this even rivatuner or msi afterburner are not behaving properly with league. but if i use in game limiter to 144 since league doesn’t have custom frame cap it doesn’t dip or drop at all maybe this is a new bug.

yes only in game and no matter what frame rate i cap it to via third party it just misbehaves but the in game is flawless just unfortunate i have to run at 144 not too much of a problem. might just be an issue with the latest whql amd driver breaking something

Ehy, league user that experiences constantly every game fps drop around minute 2. game starts on 250+ fps, after minion spawn performance decreases up to 95-100 fps and never comes up again.

I'm playing on:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
GPU: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (ZOTAC International)
GPU Driver Version: 31.0.15.1659
Reproduction rate: every game

no overlays, DX9 is mandatory because is the only way to keep more than 45 fps after alt tabbing.

Just played a ranked game of regular league and it happened again. The normal games prior didn't lag so I thought i'd give ranked (non-tft) a go.

I experienced the frame drop issue from the get-go and force shutdown my computer after a couple of minutes in game as it was basically unplayable (frame dropping severely until I restarted).

Once I restarted I had a stable game (140-144hz consistently).
Last time this happened in a ranked regular league, I did restart but it didn't fix the frame issue so it seems I was fortunate this time.

Please see the linked file below for the game:

the recorded game was capped at 240 with no problem, and started going worse bit by bit.At the end, the end it dropped down to around 120-160fps.I tried playing around with a lot of settings in amd and bios but none really helped fix the issue

Hope it helps :)

RiotTony, hi! so there is an issue with alt tabbing if you have multiple displays so its recognizing league of legends as a background task and limits the frame rate. The only was to fix it is to enable/disable the vertical sync option in the video tab after tabbing back into the game.

Fixed means it's already released in live servers or?

Note, I've locked my frame rate to 190fps to try to see if that will help however i'm still experiencing micro-stuttering and this fps issue, it may not all be related however it's worth me giving it a try.

Originally posted by fflexx_

Hi Tony, at the time I was locking it through Nvidea Control Panel, I tried this for about 2 weeks to no avail and the stuttering has only got worse, i've reset my PC and everything, League is the only game I encounter this issue on. (I locked it to 190 with Gsync to see if it would help, I have a 165hz monitor so maybe it needs to be under the frame rate.)

Originally posted by fflexx_

Yeah that was only a short term test, I now have it at 200 and it still seems to drop to 199 and stutter/microstutter and it's actually really debilitating in team fights.

Originally posted by fflexx_

Yeah, if I have it on uncapped my fps are all over the place.

Originally posted by fflexx_

It ranges any where from 400 to 300 and feels really bad to play, the drop in frames is noticeable and stutters occur. I’ve tried with v-sync, should I try with vsync+gsync and uncapped frames again?

Originally posted by fflexx_

Ok, i’ll do that when I play my next game and report back.

Hi riot devs, i believe that you guys are looking in the wrong areas to resolve this issue. I have a career in cybersecurity and have noticed that lolbins (windows native executables) are being executed and run while in game and suspect that hackers are able to make connections into players computers to do this. Over the past several weeks I noticed that this happens only while in league of legends games or TFT games even with a fresh install of windows and can be reproducible every time. I have tried everything under the sun to prevent this from happening but cant figure out how they are able to make connections into players computers. This also results in me going from 240 constant fps in game until they have a foothold into my computer and will stay around 130 fps the entire game after minions are spawned. The only time i was able to resolve myself of these issues was block all connections being made out from riot executable minus the legitimate ones using binisofts windows firewall control.

How many CPU cores does this game use? From the looks of it, system resources are underutilized while fps dips.

Game starts at 200 fps, but falls down to consistently mostly between 90-115 fps. This gets worse the more the game progresses, and I have even seen myself drop below 60 in some teamfights.

Have tried most fixes, but to no avail. Only thing I've yet to try is reinstalling league and or formatting windows (won't do that).

Hello RiotTony,

GPU : Zotac 1060 GTX mini 6GB

SSD: standard 500MB read/write

Running at 1920x1080

Tried all above modifications, FPS drops happen all the time, Game starts with 300fps, then drops to 110 over the course of 3 min.

Is it possible to list all the game.cfg commadns that can be used in the given file,

The command "MillisecondsToSleepWhileSuspended=0" helped me with altabbing,

Now the current issue is that the game just stops using rescources, CPU and GPU usage drop below 10% at some moments, while it shgould be above 40% at least. I've tried reinstalling GPU drivers rolling back BIOS updates ETC. Adjusting the Nvidia settings doesn't help,

If anything else is needed let me know.

I start with 144fps and with time its going lower and lower till i start feeling that game is laging and its really hard to play. Tried already everything.

I get what you are saying, thing is, before it used 30-40% cpu and gpu now it just drops below 10% I get fps below 60 now, they usually were around the 140-144mark,

https://we.tl/t-ZW1V1XBPlP

Here is the RPD that I've found , also if this line could be explained in some way
"***.***.**.** **** *****************************== ********" "-Product=LoL" "-PlayerID=*********" "-GameID=*********" "-GameBaseDir=D:\Riot Games\League of Legends" "-Region=EUNE" "-PlatformID=EUN1" "-Locale=en_GB" "-SkipBuild" "-EnableCrashpad=true" "-EnableLNP" "-UseDX11=1:1" "-UseMetal=0:1" "-UseNewX3D" "-UseNewX3DFramebuffers" "-RiotClientPort=*****" "-RiotClientAuthToken=**************"

I'm just curious about the frambuffer? It's not CPU related, as OC the CPU does not yield in more fps or a performance boost

Reproduction rate: Every single match, around 3 minutes in FPS drop from ~170 to around 60-90 and game stutters like crazy. (this refers to both league and tft)

What overlays are you running: I'm using blitz but if i disable it, nothing changes

Did running the game in DX9 mode help? (You can do this via settings/Game/Prefer DX9 Legacy Mode): haven't tried it yer, im gonna update asap

In 90% of cases, the performance is normal and stays at around 140+ FPS (144 cup). But in huge fights (in this log it is 15:58 minutes) there is a drop in FPS by about 30-40, which makes the game feel completely different.

That RPD only contains data for 5 minutes of a game, I'll need more than that to help.

Okay, but if all the problems occur after 5 minutes of playing?

I get this same thing. game starts fine. Minions show themselves im still fine. Until i touch my mouse then i go from 144 fps to 80-90 and my screen appears to shake with each step. It's worse when walking up or down lane vs side to side which is why im lead to believe this is a vsync or refresh rate issue within league since it only happens in league.

I have tried with vsync off and vsync on. Neither fixes it. Which is why ive figured it to be a "inside of league" issue tht Riot needs to handle.

cpu ryzen 9 7900x
gpu 6950xt

i never have issues when im playing anything else. and i stream all the time while playing. Sometimes i can get a successful test run out of a practice match. But in any actual game, it stops working. but it doesnt stop as the minions enter my screen. it stops as i make my next move at tht point.

Hey Tony,

Thanks for the reply.

I do not recall using ani GPU frame capping or optimisation software. I use MSI afterburner a little bit to oc my gpu however I've been using it for a long time before game started behaving that way.

What are your suggestions about the CPU issue u saw?

Thanks in advance
