Invalid SSL certificate, have tried many solutions, none worked.

[Gaming Gaming]

I have about 40 minutes of playtime according to steam but in reality I have none at all due to not having a valid certificate and trying to fix it.

I have read other threads and have been told to use command prompt and restart, remove anticheat and then verify files, change my time back and forth, and whitelist steam.live.bhvrdbd.com (I did not see it getting blocked in the first place, but I still tried due to lack of options). I just bought the game and would like to play it. I also tried entering the game with and without a VPN. None of these worked for me.

Any ideas (including how I might have done one of the solutions wrong) would be appreciated.

Are you getting invalid ssl cert errors when looking at websites?

Are you using a public network like a college network or are you using internet at your home?

Check your computer's date and time. no joke i spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why a computer kept throwing that error when visiting websites. turned out the cmos battery on the motherboard was dead and reset the date and time back to the default value.

If you're using a network based ad-block, allow dead by daylight through, that will cause the invalid certificate error. If you don't know what i'm talking about then you more than likely don't have one.

I am using my home's internet. everything else like other steam games and websites are working just fine. I also don't think I have network-based adblock.

I have now also tried completely disabling my Kaspersky internet security and using my phone hotspot instead of home wifi. Nothing has worked and I'm stumped at this point.

Do you have anything that could cause conflict? Like an antivirus etc.

Yes, but i have tried getting past the invalid certificate notification both with and without it. (disabled it entirely).

does it say WHY the cert is invalid? expired? wrong domain? unknown issuer...?

It says "the security of the root CA certificate could not be verified"

verify integrity of the game with steam

Are you on a Mac? What OS version? This issue started popping up recently on some Macs. To fix it, update OSX.

In that case, take this to the official website for assistance. The devs never check Steam, so we can't help you any more than just guessing.

I don't have an account there, but I did check it and followed what worked for other people who had this problem, but it did not work for me.
