Most of you play games, maybe have COD taking up 90% of your drive space, so an active effort the last few months has been made to make it smaller, and more accessible, so that even a potato should be able to handle it. Anything higher than 1TB was simply too much for this community. Multiple Rioters have even given support one way or another to keep it going, some even helping recover then-lost content along the way.īecause of the scope and size of this, a problem was on the table of making it accessible. Things ranging from that one J4 VO where he says "I am epic" which was removed as fast as it got put in, all the way to "I need this very specific French text from season 5" and any other weird ones in-between. To-date, since those systems have gone offline, I have had numerous people reach out to me both big and small for all sorts of data. The biggest part of this has been keeping it available for whatever needs the community has, and unless you're deep into the sauce you may not have any real direction. Today, this archive now spans multiple hundreds of Terabytes, and I personally save data for LoL, LoR, Valorant, Wild Rift, the Riot Client, and the Vanguard Anti-cheat and more as it comes out. Since then I have kept this project going but with modern patch systems (so, Post season 9). This severely limited things but it was the best we could do. A 13TB pile of stuff.The following month, I had put up a massive archive of this data to the Internet Archive, available to whoever wanted it, assuming you had a free NAS and 3 Terabytes to hold it, and the patience to save 2.5TB worth of data, merge it, then use it. Luckily I had made an effort to inhale every single file on that CDN that I knew about prior to this. That's what I'm here to share today.īack in May 12th 2021 Riot had taken down a decades worth of patch data for League of Legends, a resource that was still being utilized by many people in the community (wiki, modders, people wanting to watch old replays, etc). I'm PixelButts, some of you may know me for my archival and datamining habits. You can read it here, and I encourage reading all of it:
I have also made a (kinda garbage) writeup detailing conversion process of this 2009-2019 data and specifics to turn 13TB into 300GB. You can check it out and download it here: I am also tracking every game Riot ships, including Riot Forge games, with preparation for Project L (Fighting) and Project F (aRPG). This archive spans over 10 years of patch data for League, and is freely accessible to anyone for any reason (modding, replays, wiki research, etc). I've been curating and maintaining a massive archive of Riot Games for the past few years now and have dubbed it the " Riot Archive Project". I'm a QA developer (game tester) that has a side hobby for archival, specifically focused on Riot Games stuff.
