Deceive v1.7.0
Hey hey, Deceive v1.7.0 is here! It includes some required changes, so you better update as soon as possible. People that were using a beta version made by @aPinat should also upgrade, as this version includes all the fixes from his branch as well.
Here's what's changed:
- Deceive now renders the hidden status over the League client. It looks something like this (highlight added):
This ended up working better than manually adjusting the status shown in the League client, as it would sometimes be misleading (show as "In Game" even though you were actually offline). If the overlay shows that you're offline, you're offline. - Deceive now has support for Legends of Runeterra! See below for more info.
- A bug was fixed that'd cause you to display as online in certain cases.
- If Deceive fails to mark you as offline, it will now disconnect from chat entirely instead of showing you as online. This guarantees that you'll always be offline and never be surprised.
- Lots of old code related to the old League patcher was removed. You will need the Riot Client installed and to use this feature (but as a result, Deceive is much lighter!).
Legends of Runeterra
Deceive has somewhat barebones support for Legends of Runeterra now. It's not as complete as the League integration, but at least it's something!
To instruct Deceive to launch LoR instead of League, you will need to add the lor
argument when launching Deceive. The easiest way to do this is to create a shortcut to Deceive, then edit that shortcut to include the lor
argument, as seen in the gif below:
LoR support is in beta but should work properly. Let me know in the Discord if anything doesn't work.
The usual disclaimer
Deceive should work properly if you have a normal League install. If you encounter any issues, please let me know on the Discord.
As always, Windows may complain about the executable coming from an untrusted source. You can mitigate this warning by pressing More Info
, followed by Run Anyway
. If you want to be completely sure that Deceive is safe, you can also download Visual Studio and compile from source yourself.
