SSL connection is refused as the SSL cert is either invalid or the CA used is unknown. the server however is running, a direct connect works. server is just not listed

More Info: This is after migrating the Server from Windows 2022 to another Windows Server 2025 machine. Server spams the retries of connecting constantly. Seems to happen on all 2025 machines. Maybe there is a workaround to add CA or certificate manually?

I finally fixed it. I opened https://mc6z5app.apicdn.sanity.io/ and https://walrus-app-ticr9.ondigitalocean.app/ in a browser (edge, since we are on win server 2025). then clicking on the ๐Ÿ”’ - icon in front of https. i then exported the certificates for .ondigitalocean.app and .apicdn.sanity.io as .crt-files - then i imported them for local user and local machine, restarted the server(s) and magic: heart beat works, server appears in server list

source which got me the idea was this post on steam: just different windows server at that time and different game (and different heart beat servers) but little more detailed explanation here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/2/4558288923614167829/

I will add a more detailed manual with screenshots later this week, then this topic can be closed. If you cannot wait and are still stuck just ping me directly, glad to help.

# vital cypress <@187666881459519489> which cert store did you place them in? I've got them in p...

you doubleclick on it to add it to the system, you get the option local machine and current user, you just do both options through the wizard. ensure it's the same user you are running the server with (in case its a service user only you'll either enable logon or you execute in the name of your user). for local machine you need temporary admin rights (you'll get requested to enter admin account's password).
