If the Runtime Service won't start, how is it going to download the fix?
Lol, good question 😕
I guess the simple solution is a 200kb download to patch the expired certificate !
It's not that easy. Each component (dll, executable) is signed with a code signing certificate.
Every file needs to be replaced with a version signed with a valid one.
This means that the whole installation (the support folder) needs to be replaced with a new one.
Re-signing at the client's end (aka the patch you mention) makes the whole chain of trust obsolete.

DON'T fuck with your system clock, especially if you run Windows 10, or have any types of authentication applications (pace,duolock,ilok) whatever, you can fuck up your software installations because it will look like you're tampering with them.
Wait for a official announcement and fix from Oculus, they need to fix this fuckup pronto, but don't give yourself MORE headaches by messing with the system time.
If Oculus does this the way they should, you should get an email or they will post an official announcement of getting a patch.
All the patch will do is remove the expired cert for their application, add an updated trusted CA with an extension date. You'll restart your system, boom the issue the fixed.
I want you to inundate Oculus with anger about this issue. It should not have happened, because that's a big deal to have a cert expire that's installed locally and can't be fixed because the software that would update and fix the cert, doesn't work.

Damn,
People get ANGRY when they cant play their video games for a few hours. Seriously, calm down, take a few breaths. Go hug your dog. Its an expired cert, not the end of life as we know it. Go play another game, watch tv, read a book, or take a drive. In a few hours, all will be well, and we can all get back to "showing da wey" in vr chat or whatever it is we do.
Hi. My brother gets maybe one day off a month, at best, due to a lot of reasons. He's usually so busy that his schedule is Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work. Today, right when the cert expired, was his time off. He now has barely any time left, mostly due to trying to figure out what the problem is. Everything may be all and well in a few hours, but it's another month before he can do anything more than dabble for fifteen minutes.
But thanks for being an entitled ass about it! It sure is nice how you just believe everyone has the exact same situation as you! Guess he has no right to be angry, huh? But hey, you got a nice ego wank by being the big voice of reason and telling everyone to calm down, so it's worth it, yeah?

except some people have literally said they want people fired over this..... so yes it sucks for your bro, but minor inconvenience for your brother missing a vr gaming session and having to flat screen it, vs calls for a person to lose their entire livelyhood..... I am more in the "get some perspective camp"
if it is still down in 24 hrs i may see your point, but for now, its just unfortunate timing on his part.
