Unable to play League of Legends with DisplayLink installed

mirezko · 12-10-2012, 06:27 PM

Hello support,

I have a problem with DisplayLink drivers - it doesn't allow me to start League of Legends game.

I tested with disconnected DisplayLink adapter, but until I removed the actual drivers from the system I couldn't start the game.

I also wrote on LoL support, but this seems to be an issue with the drivers.

Maybe it's connected to the problem that I cannot update NVIDIA drivers as well - it doesn't detect my graphics card correctly and installation fails.

Attached are some logs.

Thanks for any help

I'm actively looking for other docking stations. Was there ever a response or solution to this?

nope, no reply nor resolution.

I even submitted a ticket to LoL support, they couldn't help.

Would be nice to know that this is on the bug list. . .

This is known about and it should only affect NVIDIA Optimus systems running Windows 8.

The NVIDIA drivers have some "interesting" behaviour on Windows 8, so when used alongside DisplayLink full screen apps (eg games) don't work. We're seeing what we can do to work around this.

Doesn't work with HD4000 intel graphics either.

Agreed. I have an HD4000 in my ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

I can't play most of my steam games.

Also Hulu Plus for Windows 8 won't run.

Wondering if there is an update. Does the USB 3 replicator have the same problem? Was talking to the Lenovo rep the other day about the helix, and I can't help but expect i'll have the same problem -- Does your statement mean: W8+ i7 +Displaylink = problems? Or can I at least buy my way out of this?

Bump -- anyone know if the USB3 has the same problem? Do all the Lenovo i7 laptops have this problem with W8?

OK - I've reproduced this (wow - LOL takes a long time to download and update...). It seems to happen on all Windows 8 systems but works under Windows 7. Is that correct?

Want to make sure this is just a Windows 8 issue when we look at it, and I'm not missing anything on Windows 7.
