Hello,
I just discovered this game and want to try it. I have an issue that I cannot resolve, even after looking for a while and trying to change many options.
After the install when I connect to steam, right after I have the message : " 503 : Failed connecting to the server".
I looked that up on different forums and videos, my steam account is set to public, I tried using a VPN and disable avira, it doesnt work.
I dont see where this issue comes from, and Im a bit disapointed...
Can someone help me or have any clue about that ?

Seriously?! You don't see the massive header that reads "Root Certificates", and the first entry that reads "ISRG root x1" at the top?!Thibaud wrote:Well Ive seen this before, but I have no clue how to download or install a certificate. I dont even see a download link on the page of certificate...
Here's a picture, maybe this will help:

Yep I saw and donwoladed this specific certificate from two different website and install it, but the game still doesnt work. Same error 503, I tried VPN, disabled avira, idk...
Maybe some system files corrupted in my windows (I had a problem with the ssd slightly damaged but its repaired and everything works fine except this game).
I remember buying this windows licence very cheap like 3 euro and install it manually, I dont think its a pirate one as windows uptade ask me to move to win 11...
I have no clue about this error

The missing certificate is only 1 possible cause for the 503. Have you checked the PRLauncher.log to see if any issues are logged?
