In this post, I’ll dig into the implementation of determinism in League. Most importantly, we delivered a functional basis for the Deterministic Disaster Recovery (DDR) toolset, which is, as of this writing, deployed in an early form in the NA LCS. We also created powerful new tools that allow us to record, play back, and validate real-world League of Legends games, enabling new opportunities for optimizing and testing code changes. We removed swaths of dead or redundant code and created new opportunity spaces for gameplay exploration. As a side benefit of this effort, we holistically improved the codebase’s robustness, discoverability, and maintainability. But it's doubtful that the company would need third-party resources to make that happen, so the more likely explanation is that it wants to preserve League of Legendsproperty and reserve the right to launch retro servers if it so chooses.Taking the League of Legends game server from a nondeterministic process to its current state required almost a full year of effort from multiple engineers. The idea that Riot was attempting extortion could be based on speculation about it wanting the code to launch its own retro servers, much in the same way that Blizzard is now running World of Warcraft Classic. " Instead of opening a conversation about the future and interest in this kind of project, they attempted what could be seen as an attempt to take advantage of our work for free and start taking legal action against us." " We are incredibly disappointed by the way Riot chose to handle this situation," the message adds. Riot is presumably worried about Chronoshift becoming a more popular alternative to the mainstream version of League of Legends, but this is denied in a message on the the project's website. It also asks for the server and project to be shut down, and all related content to be pulled from social media channels.

A Riot representative said that the company is " disappointed with the tenor of the conversation" and will be " addressing this internally." At the same time, its cease-and-desist letter does call for the Chronoshift team to hand over all related software, including not just source code but things like modified game clients. The conversation appears to have ended shortly after a counteroffer was made to simply shut down the project. Refuse and we will," the person said, threatening to hand the matter off to legal counsel.

" Give me what I'm looking for and we won't sue. The cease-and-desist letter was published by PC Gamer, which obtained confirmation that before it was sent, a member of Riot's security team reached out to the Chronoshift crew via Discord and asked not just for the website and source code, but " identifiable information" they shared between each other.
