Trying to log into Foldit, it's throwing "SSL Connect error: Error contacting clients" on all my clients
SSL connect error

Fixed already

The same problem is happening for some, but not all, today.
The problem prevents newly started clients from connecting.
With an already running client, the symptoms include a dialog box stating "SSL connect error: Error contacting server" when attempting to upload a solution. In the "Manage Solutions" dialog, the message "There was an error getting shared solutions from the server" appears in the "Shared Solutions" box.
The "SSL connect error: Error contacting server" dialog also appears when attempting to download a recipe.
The status icon in the "Notifications" bar is red. Hovering over the icon displays the message "You may not be currently connected to the foldit servers. Click to recheck". Clicking the icon has no effect.
(As noted in #Veteran, the ergonomics of the connected icon are not good. The colors used are extremely hard for the red-green color weak to distinguish. Ideally, the icon should change shape in addition to changing color. Otherwise, go with blue for OK and yellow for doubtful.)
Oddly chat is still active.

I've been starting new clients without any issues. Very odd indeed.

I have two clients, both devprev, but different release dates. The older release is getting the SSL error.
The older client, updated 4/24, with binary version 9aa3a07a30ced454aa4840a45610c31a and resources version d5ab8c661a94b72c951b6b557e5bb8a2, gets the SSL error when trying to connect.
The newer client, updated 4/27, with binary version 2bfe2e07977035159ee66e7f30d9175d and resources version 91373e2e6560ddccd3827577bf0e0080, connects successfully.

An updated Windows client has been posted to the site. The latest update had a fix for the SSL error but clients were failing to update due to the new SSL certificate.

No change yet. I closed a client and am unable to open new clients.

If you are still experiencing the SSL error, you will need to download and install a new client. The auto-update fails due to the SSL error.

Thank aaronw3. For those who are not aware and who have recipes loaded into their Cookbook:
Your cookbook file is "all.macro" in your foldit program.
When uninstalling or reinstalling the foldit application, all you need to do is copy that file first to another folder, then paste into the new installation of the foldit app.
