Rizline:game_config.json

From Rhythm Game Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

game_config.json is a file that contains information about the current game version and asset version. When the Rizline app is started, the game downloads the game_config.json file from a server to check for asset updates.

Before Rizline 2.0.4, the game downloaded the file from https://rizlineassetstore.pigeongames.cn/configs/game_config.json, but for Rizline 2.0.4 and newer versions, certificate pinning was implemented, and the endpoint has changed to a currently unknown URL. The underlying file format and JSON structure are known to be still the same, as the HTTP response for the request for the game_config.json file gets cached into the HTTPCache directory of the game.

In the strings of the global-metadata.dat file, next to the main game_config.json URL, other related URLs have been found in the game's code:

These are currently theorized to be special config files that are used when the game developers send a new game update for review to Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.
