RiftLift 1.0.0 is a new, native app. The launcher, riftlift-cli and the runtime that starts each game are now written in C++ (Dear ImGui on SDL3), with no Python inside. Updating keeps your games, sign-ins, playtime and launch settings.

New

  • A faster, rebuilt launcher. Your library opens straight away, with owned games listed before their artwork arrives. Each game's page holds its details, playtime and Launch settings (launch options, Wine DLL overrides and environment variables).
  • Install any version of a game. Choose … → Install another version… on a game's page to install an older build, or a beta, beside the one you have. You can also choose All versions. Each version is its own game in your library, and updates leave it alone. On the command line, riftlift-cli builds GAME lists a game's versions, and install GAME --build VERSION (or --build all) installs them. (#23)
  • Sign in from any browser. If Meta's sign-in window can't open, or you'd rather use your own browser, choose Sign in manually. Copy the link, sign in, then paste the oculus:// address back. See the guide. The command line equivalent is riftlift-cli accounts sign-in --manual. (#24)
  • Better library search. Search matches whole words in any order, and ignores case, accents and punctuation. (#22)
  • Delisted games. Owned games that Meta no longer lists can still be installed.
  • Debug reports built for RiftLift. Settings → Upload debug report gathers the last launch's logs into one report. The report begins with what went wrong, its likely cause and what to try next.
  • Linux packages. Packages are now available as .deb, .rpm, an AppImage, a Flatpak and a .tar.gz. AUR riftlift-bin follows.

Compatibility

  • Games now ask Meta for their Platform identity and entitlement checks while they run, as the account they launched with.
  • Unity games that start the Oculus Platform asynchronously, and local achievement unlocks, are answered locally.
  • Touch, Index and WMR controller bindings are suggested.
  • ARKTIKA.1, Brass Tactics and Edge of Nowhere are tested. Lone Echo 2 has a workaround for its menu. See the compatibility wiki.

The Windows installer is still not code-signed. If SmartScreen says it "protected your PC", choose More info → Run anyway.
