Hi Foldit team,

Tried to share Foldit with a friend who is in Hungary running Windows 10. They got this error message on starting the game after trying to log in:

"problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?): Error while fetching https://fold.it/portal/comm/whoami_csv"

If you have any pointers or need them to look up any paths on their machine, please let me know.

Thanks,
János

That looks like they are running a very old download of Foldit, potentially. Nothing with "portal" in the URL has been used in years.

Thanks, I let them know to try to download the latest version! If the problem reoccurs I'll keep you posted.
