How to Fix League of Legends DirectX Error

Experiencing a DirectX error in League of Legends can be frustrating, but fear not! This guide will walk you through simple steps to resolve the issue and get back into the game. So, let's start fixing that error!

Sometimes, a simple restart can solve many problems. Close League of Legends, restart your computer, and try launching the game again. Oftentimes, this step alone can resolve any temporary issues or conflicts that may be causing the DirectX error.

Outdated or incompatible graphics card drivers can often be the cause of DirectX errors in League of Legends. To resolve this, visit the manufacturer's website for your graphics card and locate the latest drivers specifically designed for your model. Download and install these updated drivers to ensure compatibility with League of Legends.

If the Game.cfg file becomes corrupted, it could cause DirectX errors. Don't worry; we'll fix it! To do this, locate the Game.cfg file, which is usually found in "C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config". Delete this file and restart the game. League of Legends will automatically generate a fresh Game.cfg file with default settings, resolving any issues caused by the corrupted file.

League of Legends has a built-in repair tool that can help fix corrupted game files. To access this tool, launch the League of Legends client and click on the gear icon in the top-right corner to access settings. Look for options related to repairing or fixing corrupted game files. Initiate a full repair process as prompted by the client. This process may take some time, but it can often fix DirectX errors by replacing any damaged or missing game files.

Sometimes, background applications or overlays can interfere with DirectX functionality in League of Legends. To troubleshoot this, close any applications like Discord or NVIDIA GeForce Experience that are running alongside League of Legends. Additionally, check if any other applications are using overlays or conflicting with DirectX functionality. Temporarily disabling or closing these applications can help resolve any conflicts and eliminate the DirectX error.

In some cases, updating graphics card drivers can cause issues that lead to a DirectX error in League of Legends. If you've recently updated your drivers and started experiencing the error, you can try rolling back the display drivers to a previous version. To do this, right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager." Locate your display drivers, right-click on them, and select "Properties." Under the "Driver" tab, choose "Roll Back Driver" and follow the instructions. This will revert the display drivers to a previous version, potentially resolving any compatibility issues.

If you've followed all the steps and still face the DirectX error in League of Legends, don't lose hope! Sometimes, the issue may require personalized assistance from the game developers. In such cases, reach out to Riot Games Support for additional solutions and guidance. They have a team of experts who can help troubleshoot and resolve the error to get you back on track.
