DirectX Support

• This is an announcement for a future change. DirectX 9 will no longer be legacy-compatible with and be supported for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, and this is initially planned for patch V14.9.
  • Players who are using the DirectX 9 API by opting-in from later versions will be automatically opted-out when the change is live.
  • Players who are using DirectX 9 due to hardware limitations must upgrade their device in order to continue playing.
• A chat message has been added upon starting a game, to notify of DX9 compatibility mode no longer being available in the near future:
  • You are using DX9 Legacy Mode, which will be disabled soon. Please change this in your graphics settings after the game. You can reach out to player support if you have any questions.
