SSL connection issues are caused by missing or outdated CA certificates. We have windows users with the same problem. The app doesnt communicate with cheathappens.com but with cheathappensnext.com

Run this command in terminal and it should fail too:
openssl s_client -connect cheathappensnext.com:443

If thats the case, make sure your CA certificates are complete and up to date. If that still doesnt work you can try and mark our server certificate as trusted by doing the following (under Arch linux):

echo | openssl s_client -connect cheathappensnext.com:443 -servername cheathappensnext.com | openssl x509 > yourdomain.crt
sudo cp yourdomain.crt /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/
sudo trust extract-compat

and then run the openssl command again to see if it works now.

Aha, that fixed it. Thanks 0x90

Hey, I'm also running CachyOS but still having issues. What commands did you run exactly? I've run the three commands that 0x90 put down but the openssl command doesn't seem to have changed.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

I'm running the same OS and have the same problem.
I had it working fine on an earlier install of cachyos so I'm a bit lost as to why its not working now.
I'll watch this thread hoping someone can give us the solution.

with the commands that 0x90 posted, are we supposed to run them as is or edit them to our specific system specifically the yourdomain.crt?

yourdomain.crt is just the file name. It doesnt matter how the file is named. The url is already set. Just make sure the path to the certificates on your system is identical: /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/

I figured out a solution for those having the SSL problems even after following 0x90's guide, you can download aurora normally and extract it then target the steam tool to the directory you extracted it to, the tool will then run fine.

Oh, okay, then you would have needed another certificate. Because Aurora is downloaded from the domain ch-downloads.com. Probably running the same command again with changed domain would also work. If ch-downloads.com isnt trusted you likely cannot update Aurora when there is a new version.
