If you have at any point installed a mod to Rift of the NecroDancer, you may find that the game no longer launches correctly or experiences strange bugs during gameplay. Before launching this newest update, please make sure that you have uninstalled any mod launchers (ie BepInEx, MelonLoader)! You will also need to find and delete the file winhttp.dll within the game install folder if it exists.

Ten years ago, we unleashed a game so groovy, it woke the dead (literally!). Crypt of the NecroDancer has been keeping your fingers tapping and your hearts pounding for a whole decade! That's right, we've officially hit double digits – time for a mid-life crisis where we buy a fancy new lute and maybe get a dancing dragon tattoo?

But instead of existential d(r)ead, we're bringing you gifts! In the spirit of cross-game pollination (and because we thought it would be super cool), we're sneaking THREE legendary tracks from Crypt of the NecroDancer into Rift:

• Crypteque
  
• Fungal Funk
  
• Power Cords

And because looking good is half the battle (especially when facing down a horde of skeletons), these songs feature new Crypt outfits for Cadence and the NecroDancer. Now you can bring that classic Crypt style to your Rift runs.

Thanks for sticking with us through all the beats and bobs. Here's to another ten years of rhythmic mayhem!

That's not all! If you haven't yet, you can pick up the Crypt of the NecroDancer Ultimate Pack for an ALL-TIME LOW of 55% off for a limited time only.

  • See here for more info on custom portraits and Shopkeeper Mode: https://vortexbuffer.com/rift/editor-advanced/

• Changed unlock criteria for DLC tracks:
  
  • From now on, the Impossible difficulty and Remix Mode will be unlocked by default for any song that requires purchase
    
  • Free tracks added via content updates follow the same set of unlock criteria as base game tracks for Impossible difficulty (100 diamonds), Remix Mode (60 diamonds) and Impossible Remix Mode (120 diamonds)
• Changed asset storage format to reduce download size for future updates
  
  • Future updates to the game should require much less data to be downloaded!

• 🎸 Added support for offsetting the audio track by a specific number of milliseconds to sync it up with the beatmap
  
  • This offset is visually indicated by the waveform display on the side of the track, and also applies to preview playback
• 🎸 Added an option to play a 4-beat or 8-beat countdown at the start of a song
  
  • The countdown's BPM is based on the starting BPM of the song, independent of BPM change triggers
    
  • The countdown audio does not play in the editor, and is instead represented by visual annotations on the right side of the level

  • For compatibility, existing songs continue to use silent countdowns by default
• 🎸 Added an option to select which existing Workshop item to replace when publishing a track
  
• Added a hotkey to mirror the contents of the paintbrush or selection rectangle
  
  • This is bound to H by default, but can be configured via the options menu
• 🎸 Added a "Halve BPM" tool, which transforms all enemies on the song into their equivalent half-BPM counterparts, preserving the timings of each hit at a reduced scroll speed
  
• 🎸 Fixed enemies sometimes being saved at beat times below the start of the song

• 🎸 Fixed "DLC now available" item not being removed from Track Select after obtaining all DLCs
  
• 🎸 Fixed Skulls sometimes spawning Skeletons 2 tiles back instead of 1 tile back

• 🎸 Fixed enemy timing accuracy issues in Resurrections Hard and Impossible
  
• 🎸 Fixed Skeleton timing accuracy issues in Scattered and Lost Hard

We're moving to action on these as quickly as possible, but some of these issues have fixes that require more delicate handling. Thanks for your patience!

• Exiting a boss battle tutorial will return the player to the top of the Story Mode menu
  
• After completing a boss battle it's possible to see all boss portraits in the menu when scrolling up and down the list
