I'm sure this has been posted but I have been searching and can't find anything. So, since the last patch me and another friend and random people in games have noticed a huge rise in random frame drops and stutters in game that could be as frequent as every thirty seconds. Does anyone that was also experiencing this have a fix? The game is borderline unplayable for me atm.

Edit: OK guys i got home and updated my nvidia drivers and force quit blitz after my runes import as a couple users have suggested. Everything seems to be fine for now after one game so hopefully this will work for everyone else as well

We've been looking for the source of this problem and right now it appears that it's related to programs that use an overlay (not one specific program) - as others have noted it may help to close any programs you have running that use overlay while we continue to try and fix the issue. Sorry I don't have more concrete info to share, this bug is proving hard to track down.

I literally have no other program opened, not even an anti virus (on w7), everything closed on a clean install on a SSD.

FPS capped at 60 with the lowest settings.Yet, even in laning phase it sometimes stutters to 10-15 for no apparent reason idk.

Did you notice this same issue last patch (9.22) or just the most recent? (9.23) ?
