SSL connect error

...... I have executed 90% steps from the longest reply after I viewed all of them here, but I am stuck on how to download CRL files and make them work. How to get my crl please...

Here's what helped me:

1. Turn off the firewall

2. Disable real-time protection (antivirus)

3. Turn off all VPNs and other IP-spoofing tools

4. Restart the PC

After the restart, I disabled real-time protection again because it had turned back on. And yeah, the patch downloaded and installed successfully. Don't forget to turn all previously disabled security features back on.

I tried turning off my firewall completely but ...

Error: SSL connect error (schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE (0x80092013)

win11 25H2

Error: SSL connect error (schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE (0x80092013)

same error since the patch

Uninstalled poe1 completely and while downloading it from scratch after installing i get the very same error.

Error: SSL connect error (schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE (0x80092013)

As people are still having issues, another thing you can try.
You will still need to visit the patch website in a browser by entering the following URL:

https://patch.poecdn.com/

You will still need to view the SSL Certificate for the website.
If you don't know how to view the SSL Certificate for the website, there are quick guides for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox in this URL:

For Chrome, when viewing the certificate you'll need to swap to the "Details" tab.
Then look for "CRL" somewhere in the list (eg. "CRL Distribution Points").
Click the entry and it'll show a URL. Copy the CRL URL for a little later.

Next, you'll be using the windows utility "certutil.exe".
You can find a bit of a guide about what it does on this URL:

https://relevantsecurity.wordpress.com/2019/04/12/using-certutil-gui-to-validate-crls-on-all-cdps-and-using-ocsp/

Back in Windows, run the program Command Prompt. Once it loads type in:

certutil -URL http://

That will open the certutil app.
At the bottom it will have a "Url to Download" textbox with "http://" pre-filled.
Replace the "http://" in the"Url to Download" textbox with the CRL URL you copied earlier.
(yes, you can prefill with the CRL URL when starting the certutil app)
Click the "Retrieve" button.

With any luck the list in the app window will show a status of "OK".
Start PoE and see if it is able to download the patches.
If so, great! You can close the certutil app (and close command prompt).

If certutil showed a status of "OK", but the patches still wouldn't download, then re-check you firewall is allowing PoE to download from the IP address of patch.poecdn.com (there will be several IP addresses as it's a CDN). If it is allowing those IPs, then that's about as far as I can help.

If certutil shows a status of "Failed", check certutil is allowed access through your firewall. If it is, or you don't know if you're running a firewall, then that's about as far as I can help.

I was having the same issues. Following direction to resolve the IP address for the patch server, then adding a new firewall rule allowing the IP access, fixed everything and the patch downloaded with no issue. THANK YOU greenv#1758 VERY MUCH!!

did all of the above. Got to Certutil and it Failed download. Checked my firewall and made sure Certutil coudl connect to anything. but still failed.


Help GGG!

Hello all,

This is first time now I faced this kind of problem and as I play world of warcraft and there was similar problem with blizzard launcher , here it is related to same. Your computer blocking local security authority process from connecting to internet. When it is blocked you get this error. So I was getting this error as soon I enabled LSA to connect to the internet all works just fine.

So now my question is same as to Blizzard official, what the hell LSA service have to do on internet with your POE launcher. From what I know LSA should not be used for any login purpose or should not be requirement for playing this game. It is huge security hole in our systems if we let LSA be accessible over internet.
