This is happening for us too. Looks like it might be a global issue with a recent update.

Expired certificate!


This is from OculusAppFramework.dll wich is failed for validation.
 {!ERROR!} [OAF] Failed to validate OculusAppFramework.dll (err 15)

Slin over at Echo Arena Discord seems to have figured it out. Needs a non-crapped out dll

Ok, so i rebooted my PC 30 minutes over and over in vain. Should have chacked the forum first.

Same issue here, tried to download and repair but no luck

 

apexmaster

so what is fix??? at moment, i open oculus setup and click on repair, it is DL oculus software again

SendoTarget

Well fix is to reset clock on your system 2 days back or something since it's an expired certificate. Needs a new one from Oculus.

No fix at the moment as far as i can tell.

Goddamn it. Same here. Get your shit together Oculus.

You can try setting back the time of your pc to before ‎Wednesday, ‎March ‎7, ‎2018 01:00:00 PM.
Other than that, Oculus has to come with a fix. But curious how they will provide it since their distribution mechanism is not starting up.

apexmaster

what about clean install of oculus software?,. so you mean we cannot use rift till they fix this??? ATM im DL oculus software via oculus setup---Repair

Adjusting the time and date did not work for me.

Why is there nobody from oculus here to apologise and tell us what the issue is and when it'll be fixed!!!!

Have you tried this?

apexmaster

how do you reset clock back?

This would be sort of fun, if it wasn't so embarrasing.

apexmaster

just change date to march 1st, almost done with oculus software DL

I did repair = no work. now uninstall, cleaned oculus junks from registery + dll's. now trying clean oculus install, maybe there new dll or something.

Well I changed the date on my computer and it works again, so obviously you guys did figure it out. Thanks for the temp fix idea.

corrected the date - helped. When can I return this date?

Mace404

Press start/Windows key and type: cmd - right click that and start as administrator
In the new window type: time
Enter the desired time, for example 03:00 (just anything below 13:00 is fine)
Restart the Oculus software by executing the following commands in the same cmd window.
net stop OVRService
net start OVRService

Then start the oculus client by running %OCULUSBASE%\Support\oculus-client\OculusClient.exe

Just let my Oculus software update and the OculusAppFramework.dll file has a new certificate, so after that you can set the time back to normal.
(you can run the command "w32tm /resync"  to trigger windows to update the time with a time server automatically)

The oculus chef Software developer tried to fix that problem but its difficult.

MattLaverick

Changing the system clock worked for me. I set the date to 28th Feb and restarted my machine and it works.It's  temporary solution at least

I'd assume when Oculus have got their shit together and fixed the issue

esben.dalgaard.3

Set time back and watch it update in Library, then it'll restart and update properly.
Set time in Setting>Time/Language> set automatic time to off and set the date back. You can reset the date when all is updated.
Edit: Oculus Rift Core Home doesn't seem to work tho.
ReEdit: Nope, games won't work either. Consider NOT setting your time back.
