    Here is one last thing I need you to try, especially you DeathBomber (but Hawker too)

    In your browser while on this page (the screenshots below are for firefox but chrome/opera/safari should be similar), click the button in the address bar to get the site's security information. Then click "More Information..."
    cert1.png


    Then click View Certificate:
    cert2.png


    Then type or take a screenshot of the certificate fingerprints, they should look something like I show below but may not be identical - that's what I need to know.
    cert3.png


    You can do this on the forums because the forums use the same certificate as the API. Please post this info as soon as you have a chance/thanks.

    Also, I am working with MM to get an update to the game released which allows you to override the certificate validation for now, until we find the real cause of this problem and get it fixed.

    mine are
    SHA1 Fingerprint 50:E2:5D:EA:51:CB:8C:3F:E4:61:E3:4D:8F:F2:6E:EF:A1:C9:4E:FF
    MD5 Fingerprint 18:19:47:1A:DA:A5:B6:56:D2:49:B9:16:D1:39:82:4E
    the only difference in mine is that it cannot verify this certificate because it has expired even though in expires part it has it expires in 2013 like yours

    You're sure the fingerprint is the same?

    The dates vary because these are probably timezone-adjusted.

    Thanks for the quick answers on these. Unfortunately I am pretty much out of ideas. I will try to work with MM to get that update which allows overriding the SSL verification today or tomorrow hopefully.

    edit:interesting Hawker, it says it expired? Can you show a screenshot of the error saying that it has expired?

    Might be a leap year bug. Would be stupid though.

    The change of dates is due to the time zone difference though, I have the same dates as Hawker and everything is working fine.

    Is your windows XP updated?

    edit: or check the date your PC is set on......

    Please show me a screenshot of how/where it shows the cert as expired.

    yes, also please double-check the date your computer is set to. I was able to reproduce this by setting a winxp machine's clock to 2013 or 2011 or any other incorrect year which makes the cert expired. The date must be correct for this to work - I am willing to bet that if this is the problem, you've been clicking through invalid certs on some other sites as well.

    When you guys first visited the forums, did you need to click through to accept the "expired" certificate?

    Did you set it to the correct date and try KAG again? If so, please tell us whether this fixed your issue.
