Key notes

  • Some users reported that, when being in-game, a red border suddenly appears, and League of Legends can't move the camera anymore.
  • Considering our forums explorations, we'll show you the highest-rated methods to make your screen work properly.
  • Using the game internal options is one of the most efficient solutions that will help fix this issue.
  • If LoL still can't move the screen with the mouse, uninstalling and reinstalling the game might solve your problem once and for all. 

League of Legends is one of the most popular video games. Thus, playing it in optimal conditions represents a must-have.

However, while being in-game, some users reported suddenly seeing a red border around their screen. After this, League of Legends couldn’t move the camera anymore.

In these terms, gamers have to play with a locked camera for the rest of the game. This is an annoying problem, which would stop players from using their true skills.

This guide will show you a series of options that will surely help fix the League of Legends camera issue that you’re experiencing.

How can I move the League of Legends screen with a mouse?

1. Use the F9 key

  1. Go to LoL Settings.
  2. Select HotKeys, click on the Additional HotKeys, then select Menus.
  3. Select Toggle Mouse Screen Lock.

League of Legends allows you to use an additional key that makes your camera move in optimal conditions. Most commonly, the F9 key option is set by default.

However, it can also be set on a different key. If so, you should follow the above procedure. Our presented issue can occur if you randomly pressed the F9 key on your computer keyboard.

This is related to multiple-screen usage. Thus, the mouse cursor won’t leave the game. If you’re encountering this problem, the first thing to do is just pressing the F9 key again. You should be able to move the camera around freely.

2. Uninstall and reinstall the game

  1. Open Settings.

  5. Locate and select your game, then click on Uninstall.

Reinstall the game

  1. Open the RIOT support website.
  2. Click on the Download for Windows button.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the game.
