Most Frequent Questions
- When GoS will be updated to the newest League of Legends version?
It will be ready when it's ready. Mostly updated is delivered withing three days, but it's not a rule. It depends on the patch complexity and Feretorix free time. Gaming on Steroids is completely free for everyone so don't expect from us to update the application in the very same day the league update is released. Don't ask about ETA and current progress status, because the only person who knows about it is Feretorix himself and he never says anything about the current update progress, so there's basically no one who actually can answer your question and you can get into trouble for doing so.
- Can I get banned for using GoS?
You can get banned for using any 3rd party software during the game, including Gaming on Steroids. Using this kind of software is considered as cheating and it's against Riot's Terms of Use. Yet, there is no evidence indicating that someone get banned for using our application. However, you should be very careful while using this kind of software on your main account. If you get banned for using 3rd party software, it's permanent ban without the possibility of appeal. Keep it in mind.
- What are the limits for the free users?
There are no limits and there won't be in the future. Gaming on Steroids is completely free for everyone, including people who don't have an account on our forum. There is also no technical benefits for users who donated money for the project, except for green nickname on our forum, early access to BETA versions of GoS, prioritized support and more forum-oriented benefits that can be found here. However, every donation is welcome and warm accepted. Thank you for helping us.

Common Technical Problems
- How can I fix {OnLoop}, {OnObjectLoop}, {OnProccessWaypoint} or similar error while using scripts?
Those errors are triggered by script malfunction and it have nothing to do with GoS itself. You should update all scripts you use and report this issue to it creators if problem remains.

You can't. Inspired AutoCarry - IAC is currently obsolete and you shouldn't use it. Please remove your IAC.lua file, download IOW.lua from here, and update your Inspired.lua from here. You also have to update all your scripts that were using IAC or old Inspired libraries.

Go into "Riot Games\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\" folder and check if you have folder named similarly to "0.0.1.XX" with some numbers in the place of "XX" characters. If you do, just delete this folder and it's content. From now on you should be able to see turret ranges once again.
