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:

    1. 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.

  • Settings: Custom Resolution: Match desktop resolution Character Quality: Very Low Environment Quality: Very Low Shadows: No Shadow Effects Quality: Very Low Frame Rate Cap: 60 FPS

    Note: Please test any new changes in a custom game (with bots or by yourself) first.
