I understand how annoying graphics device errors can be in League of Legends. I fixed this issue on my computer, and I want to share the exact steps that worked for me.
The first solution focuses on graphics drivers:
- Press Windows + R on your keyboard. Type "devmgmt.msc" and press Enter.
- Find Display Adapters and click it.
- Right-click your graphics card name.
- Select Update Driver.
- Choose Search Automatically.
- Wait for Windows to find and install new drivers.
Windows updates often fix graphics problems:
- Open Windows Settings.
- Click Update & Security.
- Click Check for Updates and install all available updates.
- Restart your computer after installation finishes.
DirectX needs attention next:
- Go to Microsoft's website and download the latest DirectX version.
- Run the installer file named dxwebsetup.exe. Follow the steps on screen.
- Restart your computer after installation.
Compatibility mode helps many players.
Find your League of Legends game shortcut. Right-click it and select Properties, then click the Compatibility tab:
- Check "Run this program in compatibility mode."
- Select Windows 8 or Windows 7.
- Check "Run this program as administrator."
- Click Apply and OK.
A clean installation works for stubborn problems.
Some extra tips from my experience:
- Update Windows regularly.
- Keep your graphics drivers current.
- Close background programs before playing.
- Check your graphics card temperature.
- Make sure your power supply works properly.
Remember to save your game settings before trying fixes.
