Rider Early Access Program

We at JetBrains believe that making tools for developers should involve listening to them. Our Early Access Program lets the community participate in discussions devoted to our products and influence the development planning, from the early stages onwards.

This page lists pre-release builds of Rider, the .NET IDE from JetBrains. As this is pre-release software, the stability of builds presented here, as well as their applicability for a certain purpose, may (and most probably will) vary. Please use the builds at your own risk.

For the list of known issues you might want to visit the Rider help center.

Please use the Rider issue tracker to report bugs and suggest new features.

This is an early access version of the product

You expressly acknowledge that this version of the product may not be reliable, may not work as intended and may contain errors. Any use of the EAP product is at your own risk.

Rider 2025.1 EAP 2 build comes with:

Easier environment variable configuration with .env files

Rider 2025.1 EAP 2 simplifies the management of environment variables. Instead of entering variables manually, you can now use .env files directly in your run/debug configurations.

Look for the folder icon (Browse) next to the Environment Variables field to attach your .env files, and Rider will take care of loading them before launch. You can even use multiple files across different projects to maintain consistent configurations.

A Load .env option is also available as a pre-launch task to ensure your environment variables are ready when your application starts.

Faster debugging for C++ projects

Rider 2025.1 brings faster stepping times to debugging large C++ projects, particularly in Unreal Engine development. Thanks to targeted optimizations in our custom LLDB debugger, delays during step-over and step-into operations have been dramatically reduced. This blog post has all the details. 

Improvements for remote development environments

This build also brings improvements to workflows in Docker containers and other remote environments. Check out this blog post to learn more.
