League of Legends crashing when the game starts, how do I fix it?

Question

League client works, champ select works, then when the actual game starts it crashes or never loads properly. Sometimes I get back in after reconnect, sometimes it just keeps failing. This is not happening in the client, only when the match launches. What is the best fix order?

If champ select works but the match crashes, focus on the game client, config, and overlays. Try this: 1. Use Riot repair tool / Hextech Repair Tool if available. 2. Disable overlays. 3. Update GPU driver. 4. Reset League config folder. 5. Run the game as admin once. 6. Make sure antivirus is not blocking the game executable. 7. Test in practice tool before queueing ranked. Also check if your firewall treats League Client and the actual game executable differently.
