# Infinite Crisis: reconstructing a preservation server

> The Infinite Crisis preservation server reconstructs login, menus, Tutorial 1 and versus-AI matches for the 2015 Steam client. It uses decompilation notes and mapped network messages, while loading champions, maps and scripts from the player's game installation; the author reports broad match coverage with remaining tutorial and rendering gaps.
