SSL CA cert

I tried to open foldit and cannot connect to server.
There is the message:

problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?): Error contacting server.

Is this a problem of my machine or the foldit servers in general?

okay I fixed the problem. It was my machine. After a crash the date was set to 1980, after changing this everything worked fine.

can be closed

Today i got exactly the same error message. Yesterday everything worked fine.
I got the new update and i have folded a long time.
After starting my computer today i get this errormessage.
The date of my computer is fine, so it's another reason that causes the problem.

opened it again because the solution given above is not a solution for me. It seems like the problem is somewhere else.

I've got the same error message too today:
problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?): Error contacting server

the client is up to date, the computer date and clock are correct, reboot, reinstall the foldit client did not help.
The client worked fine at the afternoon, I closed all my clients and turned it off for a while. When at the evening I wanted to start again I got the error message.
I am not able to login anymore, and just versat82, I could not resolve it on my own (still trying).

This is the dame issue as feedback "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates. Error contacting server.".

Please also be aware:

DO NOT CHANGE THE DATE to bypass this issue,

it may very likely DISQUALIFY you from the open puzzles. This has likely happened to me.
