[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c: 727) & How I fixed it.

[Novahax 2]

As I am a Windows 7 user, (And yes, it is a legal and validated copy of Win7 x64 with SP1 manually installed) XVM stopped working at the beginning of October of this year. So a Google search lead me to the Korean Random forums and this thread --->>> [Google Translated] https://koreanrandom-com.translate.goog/forum/topic/68691-xvm-не-работает-ошибка-ssl-certificate_verify_failed-certificate-verify-failed-_sslc727-что-делать/?tab=comments&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=nui#comment-509144

 

That thread lead me to OpenNET.ru and this thread --->>> [Google Translated] https://www-opennet-ru.translate.goog/opennews/art.shtml?num=55875&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=nui

So I tried the following suggestion towards the bottom of the page

Quote

Manually remove the IdenTrust DST Root CA X3 root certificate and install the standalone (not cross-signed) ISRG Root X1 root certificate.

Note: I did not remove the IdentTrust cert.

That suggestion did not work but I left the ISRG cert installed.

Another google search lead me back to Korean Random, although to a different thread --->>> [Google Translated] https://koreanrandom-com.translate.goog/forum/topic/68739-не-показывает-xvm-на-windows-7/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=nui

Post # 509382 listed a link to "How to Download & Install Sectigo Intermediate Certificates - RSA" --->>> [Google Translated] https://support-sectigo-com.translate.goog/articles/Knowledge/Sectigo-Intermediate-Certificates?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=nui

 

From that page, I downloaded and installed the following certs.

*SHA-2 Root  USERTrust RSA Certification Authority.crt

*AAACertificateServices.crt

*SectigoRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt

*SectigoRSAOrganizationValidationSecureServerCA.crt

 

Then I rebooted my computer and launched WoT. When I entered a match, my stats were once again working.

 

I make no guarantee this will work for anyone else.
