Rift Patcher fix (error 1021 and possibly others)

[RageFit]

Ok, i just found a fix for the problem
Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RIFT
or %appdata%

find the rift folder and delete riftpatch.cfg so it seems like there is a problem caused by the config.

this just fixed error 1021, not sure if it will fix other errors but it never hurts to try.

[Feeling]

What happens if i've fully downloaded the client already?
Will it corrupt that or will i have to redownload around 8GB?

i replyed to your post in the other thread, and no it wont corrupt the game, its a settings file for the launcher and will rewrite its self as soon as you launch it.

Thankyou!
Ill try this when im home from work, dont know why it wasnt mentioned in FAQ, uninstall threads or other.

Ill let everyone know the outcome!

Try to Run Selfpatchlive before u run Riftpatchlive, it worked for me and removed all errors with some additional update required.

try running it in admin mode, that worked for me.

We encountered with the same problem (Me and my friends) 3-4 days ago, and still having it. I couldn't find a solution either. Is there anyone in Rift staff who cares and feels responsibility against fellow players like us, that can help with this issue? Some of my friends already quitted this game, just because of this. I hope they hear our voice. Hello? Anyone?
