Description

  • Shadows are missing in League of Legends with Intel® Graphics even the shadow quality is set to ultra-high.
  • The issue only happens to the League of Legends Chinese client.
  • No issue with the League of Legends global client by default.

Resolution

The issue only happens when League of Legends is running on DirectX 9 mode. We are currently investigating the issue on DirectX 9 mode, so for now, use the below method to force enable DirectX 11 mode. The shadows will appear with DirectX 11 mode.

  1. Navigate to the game folder *\League of Legends\Game\Config.
  2. Open game.cfg with notepad.
  3. Add a new line under [General]: DX11BetaTest=1
  4. Save the file.
  5. Re-launch the game.
