Thank you for taking the time to respond! I do agree that the client is in a much better state now. I just thought it was weird that the updates just kind of disappeared out of nowhere. It is good to hear you all are still working on it behind the scenes!

Is there any thoughts on the custom lobby issues? I am in a few smaller competive leagues and it seems like the lobbies break a good deal of the time for multiple people. This can be anything from lobby chant disappearing to some players not showing champ select has started and they are still in the lobby.

Again, thank you for responding!

Custom lobbies are owned by another team here. I know they are pretty busy with some upcoming launches but will check to see if they are planning on addressing anything in this space

Hey, Appreciate the feedback,

To summarize, no we have not disappeared :). After looking at our data internally, post our CEF upgrade, the client is in good shape, but I know this opinion varies vastly across the player base globally

We are still addressing bugs that are more commonly raised through our player support channels, but we have shifted our team to focus more on improving the developer experience working in the client code. We have a strong hypothesis that if we improved the ability to quickly find and triage issues, improve our automated testing, and share best practices with all the engineers that work in the client, it will ultimately result in fewer issues our players see. We also know that updating CEF is the single biggest impact we can make to players, but we have to work through unblocking some things before we can do another one.

That first bug is not a bug, we actually auto-close the client in some circumstances to prevent issues in play...

players still have the option to quit to homepage or play again

Client's state being disgraceful? The client is learning, start to hide itself to avoid the shame.

Hey, we did improve timing issues with EOG (end of game) in 11.17, and followed it up by evaluating the value of that page, and ended up removing it altogether, for most players, the transition from game end to client is significantly faster now

I.e. We can't fix it so just gonna remove it from showing up instead. Lol

Hey Am1t8, since you seem to be the only Rioter that responds. Can you please explain to me why Akali EQ animation was removed??

Riven, Yasuo, Qiyana, even Syndra have EQ animation that are integral part of their kit. I am struggling to understand why the removal of a mechanic was necessary, instead of just reducing the damage. I tried to ping RiotPhlox, but have gotten 0 responses from him.

Thank you for all your hard work in keeping this game running.

Unfortunately, that's out of my scope of work, I am not sure :(

I am unable to DM you directly, but are you on low spec mode?

Also, what GPU are you using? In the latest patch notes, we recommend everyone make sure their GPU and OS drivers are updated. It did help with most problems

Hey, qq, does this happen in URF only, or SR also? can you DM me?

Thanks,

Hello,

We made changes to speed up the waiting for stats, so that is why you may not see that page.

From the screenshot it looks like nothing loads? or does it take some time to display?

Thanks

Yes, we had to do a lot of work for us to be able to get to version 91. We are now defining a game plan to get these updates out quicker

What about the in game fps issues with capping to 60? Is that client sided or game sided, are we going to see a fix soon? I think it only happens when tabbing out of the game for a moment but I'm not sure.

Not sure about this, I have messaged someone on the game team

That patch was a little longer than usual.

Early 11.18 (current) data is showing a further drop, we will be well under 1 million.

some players playing on intel integrated graphics are seeing issues on the new version of CEF, you will see it in the patch notes tomorrow but we strongly recommend players have the latest GPU drivers and OS updates. Doing this resolved the issues. Even if you have a dedicated GPU, we recommend keeping your PC up to date :)

Thanks

Hello,

We have also looked into some of these problems, and almost every time we look into the crash and/or error, it's related to very outdated video card drivers and/or OS updates on a player's machine.

Can you ensure both are up to date?

Also, are you using low spec mode?

thanks

My bug where the client freezes for 1 minute after the honor screen has evolved. Now after I honor someone and it freezes, I get a second honor screen.

In 11.16, we put in a fix to help prevent the total freeze-up of EOG.

Our game engineering team will put in a fix in 11.19 that will speed up the time it takes for the stats to be retrieved.

Can you DM me on your specific issue, we can look into it, thanks!

did we just reduce your energy bill? :)

We launched a new version of CEF which dropped memory and CPU utilization quite a bit + a significant drop in client crashes.

We are working through minor bug fixes over the next couple patches and will continue to improve the experience more

We are actively looking into the following issues with the CEF upgrade, but we have seen a drop in crashes + memory consumption + CPU utilization with 1 days worth of data, but we need more data :)

1 - Crash involving MacOS only

2 - Loot Page not loading for some players

3 - Runes being very slow when opening in champ select
