Delaying the RIOT launch till next week

[MattScott 15245]

Hi all,

 

I have to make a difficult call this morning. 

 

This morning at 3 am, we got everything staged for all the updates, but during some final testing, we noticed a problem with Easy Anti Cheat. The team has spent the last several hours working with Kamu to address it, but I don't see a quick resolution. 

 

All four planned updates are intermingled into the same build, so there is no way for me to break out individual features.

 

At this point I have several options:

1) Keep servers offline to do further troubleshooting for an indefinite amount of time

2) Launch without Easy Anti Cheat or BattlEye enabled. (No protection against cheating)

3) Roll back and delay the launch

 

I have decided to go with Option 3 to delay the launch and make sure we do this correctly.

 

Unfortunately, we will have to correct press releases and stop planned marketing efforts. 

 

We’ll try this again next week.

 

Apologies,

Matt

Thanks Obama.

[doorkicker 46]

You guys just can't catch a break can you.

[Hausman 34]

wow what a surprise...

[vsb 6174]

does this mean i can't waste money on joker boxes?

 

my wallet says thank you

[Ashn 40]

I knew this would go sideways.. but thanks for the update.

[Pufty 113]

Allright. Maybe a bit sad, but allright.

As long as I can go online and roleplay like a nerd in some alley

[Tsumori 29]

was to be expected

[GhosT 1301]

Thanks for the news.

You guys need to slow things down a bit. Your maintenances always get extended and RIOT isn't ready in the first place.

 

//Edit: Wait, press releases and marketing effort? Before the engine upgrade? Not a good idea at all.

Maybe without EAC? We need JT store permanents! Or just give us a list of items :/

[Pedroxin 107]

can't say I'm surprised honestly.

worst part is eac delay))

[Sayori 311]

lmao, didn't see this coming /s

But yeah take the servers off and do what you have to do. Those nerds can go to something else.

 

And "the final test" should have been a week before doing any marketing....

nice..i was checking all day for nothing

wHaT dA hell

[GhosT 1301]

To be honest I'd rather chose option 1 or 2, 3 seems like the worst choice at this point.

[Mythzki 2]

Well, it seems that my temporary comeback will have to wait one more week.

True.

[jerycho 16]

It's not like you would piss off that many people with option #1

 

Edit: I agree with pushing marketing back. It would be stupid to do it now imo.

What problem did EAC cause?

[Ashn 40]

I'd say option 2.. the previous anti cheat wasn't good enough still cheaters roaming around.

[Iazer 205]

aAaAaAaA why must APB be the awkward one : ' (

They decided RIOT can't be released without extra sound effects **

 

**This is not true!
