Setup
Captcha
AETHER solves Riot captchas on this computer, with no key or solver account.
How captchas are solved#
When a Riot task meets an hCaptcha, AETHER solves it on this computer in a hidden browser. There is no key to add, no solver account and no balance. No solve costs money.
There is no captcha setting in Settings. Older versions asked for a nocaptcha.io key. AETHER no longer reads one, and Import skips it in an older config file.
The solver runs in Google Chrome when Chrome is installed. Without Chrome, it downloads a headless browser once, about 150 MB. With that browser, Riot's verification email does not arrive. Install Google Chrome before you run Riot gen.
Tasks that meet a captcha#
| Task | What you see |
|---|---|
| Riot gen | SOLVING CAPTCHA while the puzzle is solved. CAPTCHA REJECTED — RETRY means Riot asked again because it refused the captcha or a field, such as a taken username. The account tries again on a fresh puzzle. |
| Riot raffle entry | SOLVING DROP CAPTCHA while the puzzle is solved. A challenge can appear on the login page, during login or on the entry form. |
Other modules handle captchas on their own. Walmart CA gen shows SOLVING CAPTCHA while it answers a challenge on the signup.
For what the Riot module can do, see Riot.
When a solve fails#
A raffle entry never hands the puzzle to you. If the solve fails on the entry form, the entry ends as DROP CHALLENGED. If it fails on the login page or during login, it ends as RAFFLE FAILED. Each account has its own raffle task, so only that account's task ends.
If the solver files are missing from your install, a Riot gen task stops on GEN FAILED and does not restart. Reinstall AETHER.
Other Riot results that a fresh proxy cannot fix also stop at once instead of rotating. A restart would walk the same flow and fail the same way.
For what each status means, see Task statuses.
A proxy list locked to another store cannot reach Riot at all. The task stops on GEN FAILED before any captcha and does not restart. See Proxies.
