Comparing our CEF versions, the difference could be up to: Especially for players on older hardware, websocket improvements can result in better performance in places where lots of data is transferred (End of Game, Champ Select). A larger pipe with fewer twists and turns gets more data to you faster, which is what a newer CEF version gets us. A websocket is basically a pipe that connects the front end to the foundation."This player just opened up the Collections tab."This player enabled the setting to close the client during games and they just entered game kill the front end until they're done.".The League Client has two big chunks: the "front end" which is the visual application you interact with and a much smaller "foundation" which runs behind the scenes, fetching data from our servers and keeping track of all the information the client needs to surface the right stuff to you.The League Client gets the benefit of that testing for free. The CEF team exhaustively tests new versions against many hardware combinations.We strongly believe once we upgrade, we expect to see fewer crashes for players. Early data is telling us that a majority of crashes could be due to an outdated version of CEF. Outdated CEF versions don't play nicely with some hardware.Updating CEF (We are targeting CEF 90) will reap the following benefits: The last time we updated CEF was November 2019 (version 74) at the time of writing, the latest current version is CEF 90. Updating CEF is the single most impactful individual change we can make to improve the client, both in terms of direct benefits and unlocking our ability to make other improvements. We understated its importance last time, so to be more direct. Updating Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)Īs mentioned last time, one of the big projects we're working on is updating the client's version of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)-the web browser at the heart of the League Client's architecture. We still have some work to complete but anticipate getting to a new version of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) by end of Q2, which will provide a large number of player benefits.
#Mac client down for league? upgrade
TL DR: We spent the first quarter of 2021 working to unblock our path to upgrade Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). (See the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth here)
#Mac client down for league? update
Today's update is the seventh blog in the series. We've made a commitment to share recurring updates on the work we're doing to improve the performance and reliability of the League Client.
