Rift launch issue

[JohnGabriel]

You've never been able to launch Rift.exe directly without some sort of launcher to assist in the process. How did you go about avoiding the Glyph client?

Here are instructions to get it working:

4 Steps how to play Rift without Glyph for now:
1- Uninstall Glyph (using Programs and Features in Control Panel)
2- Go to Rift folder, delete ALL recently added files (change view to details and make sure you see the dates of files).
3- Delete the Glyph folder.
4- Go to start menu, in search, type "cmd" no quotations. Then follow the following very carefully:
a- type "regedit" press enter
b- accept
c- you should now be able to edit registry in the window that just opened, open these folders in the following sequence: HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>>Software>>>Trion>>>Instance>>> Rift
d- Delete the file called Glyph
Now, if you run the riftpatchlive.exe launcher, game should update, then work fine without needing to even DL Glyph.


Worked for me, hope it works for you. As for playing via Glyph, I would love to, just can't. Trion, please fix this issue soon!!

There are dozens of posts about this on Riftgame.com forum, but they are from 2014 so not sure if its still valid.

Edit: I want to add that I have not used Glyph except for the very first day I played Rift. I had so much trouble I just searched and found the workaround and never used Glyph again. I was not aware others had a problem with it.
