Low FPS Troubleshooting for LOL
March 22, 2026
Disabling extension points for LoL.exe
External programs spamming requests have been causing frame rate issues. This can be resolved by following these steps:
- Enter Exploit Protection in your Search Bar, and select it when it appears
- Go to Program Settings and select + Add program to customize
- Go to LoL.exe file path (usually C:\RiotGames\League of Legends\Game)
- Select League of Legends.exe
- Under Disable extension points, select Override system settings and change the toggle below to On
Change In-Game Settings
Adjusting video settings
The video options you choose in-game have a large effect on your FPS. Lowering these settings will make the game run faster at the expense of visual quality.
Playing around with these settings will help you find a sweet spot between performance and quality.
As a starting point, try setting each option to its lowest value.
You can access them in-game by pressing ESC and selecting VIDEO.
- Wait for Vertical Sync: Unchecked
- Anti-Aliasing: Unchecked
- You can also change some of the interface options to reduce the amount of stress on your hardware. To access these options press ESC in-game and select INTERFACE.
Adjusting interface options
- Uncheck Enable HUD animations
- Uncheck Show Target Frame on attack
- Uncheck Enable line missile display
- Uncheck Show Attack Range
Note: Please test any new changes in a custom game (with bots or by yourself) first.
