So when I play in fullscreen mode while streaming I get 55-60 fps but the hud blinks like every two seconds. When I play in border-less or Windowed mode I get 25-30 fps and it's hard to play. Anyone know how to fix this or what settings I need to change?

25-30 fps, hard to play?

Good god, dude, don't be such a baby. LoL is easily playable as low as 12-15 fps. 8|

That said:

- Lower graphical settings
- License XSplit /
pirate it you filthy man
and use the "Add game" feed option instead of using a screen region.
- Adjust stream settings

I typically play at about 35-45 FPS in windowed mode while streaming.

This is how it is for me too. AFAIK from my extensive research online, game mode doesn't alleviate the problem and the issue is in how LoL is coded. But I haven't tried it, so it's worth a shot I guess. Changing the settings doesn't help for the innate fps drop in windowed/borderless.

Every single game in existence has performance drops running in Windowed mode. It has to do with how the game can access the graphics card iirc.

EDIT: You can slightly boost performance by not running any kind of Flash applet, including your own stream. Flash is surprisingly GPU-intensive.

Anyone notice a surge in Leblanc players lately? I don't mind it because I've trashed every single one of them, but if she gets too much attn, they're going to change (potentially nerf) her :(

i don't know how anyone can play at anything less than 60 tbh
I started my gaming career on an 1998 gateway computer playing WoW at roughly 10fps, <5 in a raid environment. My previous laptop ran 10m raids at roughly 1-fps duirng encounters and maybe 25 tops in major cities. League ran from 15-30.

Now I run at high numbers in fullscreen / etc but honestly 60fps is super overkill for most games (And if you really need performance to play run minimum graphics).

I don't see how you can raid and hold your own weight under those conditions

I played at around 7 fps pretty decently.
Same. My laptop is pretty shizzy and I didn't have access to my desktop and i played at 7 fps and still held my own. Honestly just 10-20 is good enough.

When you are used to very good fps on everything you play, yes it's really hard to play at half that lol.

Also, I put my graphics settings on very low and there was no difference in fps from very high sadly :/.

Ah well, I can still stream diablo 3 well I guess :/.

Apparently the reason I couldn't watch streams was b/c Adblock stopped functioning correctly b/c I was still running Firefox 3.6 as opposed to the current 9.0, LOL.

It never notified me or updated itself and still ran almost everything without trouble, haha. It went overlooked until this current predicament.

Yeah, I started League at 5 fps and played that way for about a year. Just because it's "playable" doesn't mean that I wouldn't perform better with higher frame rates.

No. I wouldn't mind the ads when they are played by the streamers or after a while, but I can't stand pre-vid ads. Nothing more irritating than having to sit through 30 secs to find a streamer you want to watch is afk or something.

I don't enjoy having things forced down my throat.

Man, that's not what your private life says.

Lolcave solves the whole "what are they playing" thing by giving you a preview before actually having to view the stream.

He also made a guide on her, which is probably the biggest contribution to her popularity.

No problem though, I would take lb over other aps any day

Just had a crazy Siver game. Taric was my support, we had a Gangplank top.
Oh my god the team buffs.
Even AP's could auto attack you to death.

The resolution is at 1920x1080 but I mean all the other resolutions suck >_>. I set the FPS at 20 for the stream, I guess I could try lowering it to 15 and see how that looks and how it affects my fps while playing league.

It's just mind boggling to me that I can play D3 in max resolution with 0 lag in a windowed mode but league drop 30-40 fps in windowed mode -.-.
