Have you updated your software? This issue should resolve itself if your software is up to date.

The recent certificate problem lasted only a few hours. I think they fixed something on the server side, it turned out a client update wasn't required.

See Temporary server issues for some of the details. There was a manual fix, but it wasn't necessary once they figured out the server fix. The manual fix involved downloading a new cacert.pem, and replacing the one installed with Foldit. The updated cacert file is still available, so it might be worth a try.

Before that, take a look at the log.txt file that gets created under c:\Foldit or wherever you have the game installed. If it's not too big, you could paste the whole thing here. Otherwise, the easiest way to upload it is using the #bugs-and-feedback channel on the Foldit Discord server. You can also use the feedback area on fold.it, but it takes two steps. First, you open a new feedback, then you can attach log.txt in a reply to that feedback.

You can't attach a file here in the forum. There's an "add image" button, but it doesn't work.

(They're working an updated website….)

Honestly, this problem is SO bad i'm just going to delete my account.
I'm not joking guys.
It's unfortunate but i've spent weeks trying to solve this problem(on a old Windows 10 by the way-once it took like 5 minutes to boot up). It won't really make any difference because i've had it for only about 2 years and I didn't play it that much because the computer was so darn laggy! I wish I could do better but I just don't have the time.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for a better username i could use? lol
