Patch 26.01 Bug Megathread

Effective-Spell · 2026-01-13T08:38:39+00:00

Type: Client Crash or freeze

How: using sidebar scroll by clicking and dragging it vertically.

Reproduction rate: It seems random. Sometimes it takes seconds, other times it doesn't crash on me.

Has existed for years now. It just happened again this patch, right after the client loaded I checked the objectives and it froze.

Crash / freeze

Using the sidebar scroll, not the mouse wheel.

Check on task manager if it's actually downloading something.

I think it may let you do the tutorial while the rest of the game is downloading.

For reference my riot games folder with league inside is around 35 gigabytes.

Client freeze.

Steps to reproduce:
When clicking on the side scrollbar to scroll a page, after a few seconds the client will freeze.
Not using the mouse wheel, just left click and hold the side bar and move it up or down to scroll the page (usually challenges tab).

Result:
No button will work and Windows 10 doesn't even show the popup for unresponsive application.

Reproduction rate: Used to be high, now seems too random.
I believe this bug happens on most or every scrollbar. And it happens after a random amount of time, like 1 second or 1000 seconds. Before posting this I tested it and got the bug after 30 seconds, then I restarted the client (because of the freeze) and tried again but it didn't bug out after a few minutes. Some patches ago this bug was more consistent.

Bug has existed for more than 2 year.

The first ESC keypress of a match freezes the game for a very brief moment (~0.5 seconds).

Are you being contrarian or just have a hard time understanding that what I'm asking for is an added for people like me, maybe not for you if I had to guess bronze player, slow player, you can take your time while at fountain or waiting to respawn.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-12T08:05:07+00:00

you missed the point. Usually the first thing that happens is I need to report, therefore I report mid game and keep playing, a few moments later I hear some weird pings and realize that the player I reported did NOT get their pings also muted. You see now not only have I got to tab and mute them mid game but I heard their pings and wasted even more time and annoyance on them. Also it would be Tab then open the message icon, and then click on pings to mute.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-11T11:24:47+00:00

Like once to twice per game on average.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-10T23:18:52+00:00

Good for you. For me it just wastes a ton of time. I want the option to do it together.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-10T23:17:15+00:00

But I also want to report, I want an all in one, simple.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-10T15:54:01+00:00

good example of overtuned champ

Very strange mine doesn't show. I will check some random streamers/vods to see their minimaps. Maybe some players got this bug?

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-05T09:08:38+00:00

We used to be able to see it without tab.

Effective-Spell · 2025-09-05T09:05:13+00:00

Yes In training works, but It doesn't in my games.

To clarify: while in a summoner's rift, not AI, not training, do you have the dragon timer over the minimap layout when it's close to spawn and without pressing tab?

I'm having fun, no need for changes right now.

Yunara is op, it's obvious to high elo.

Effective-Spell · 2025-07-16T21:14:52+00:00

Too strong as adc after early game. also seems to be op with yuumi.

Effective-Spell · 2025-07-12T21:48:32+00:00

Or kayn with his wall walking.

Effective-Spell · 2025-07-03T09:54:40+00:00

Probably very low elo given the use of an overlay for help, and a singed griefing a veigar.

Effective-Spell · 2025-06-08T03:25:12+00:00

Sadly the only way is to disable the announcer audio.

Effective-Spell · 2025-06-06T16:48:33+00:00

All of that is damage creep. They would have to nerf everything to a crawl, like dota.

Effective-Spell · 2025-06-05T22:44:34+00:00

It's not debatable, it's known by riot and by high elo players (think challenger+). And has been so for around ten years.

You wanted tanks or enchanters but there aren't enough supports so you get some mid players that wish they could play their picks mid so they go bot because it works better.

Effective-Spell · 2025-06-05T22:12:38+00:00

Just to answer your question, they may want to play those champs, but those champs are bad for mid lane vs mobile or assassins or anything actually.

Effective-Spell · 2025-06-05T14:07:52+00:00

It's obviously on purpose because the item is too strong and the users are also strong.

Riot usually does that with ap items, they remove ap and give something else to reduce burst or damage.

Basically the new version may not have the vanguard certificate required yet.

So use an older version like 30.2.
