Error : "Failed to update Masterlist" and Vortex icon changed

[DarkDominion]

When I start up Vortex I get Failed to update Masterlist, and when I click more I get :

 

Error: Git operation failed. Details: -17; unknown certificate check failure: libgit2 error

Also : the Vortex shortcut icon on my desktop ( the one that looks like a vortex ) has changed into a generic map icon like this

Same goes for the vortex.exe icon from update 13.3 in my Vortex folder, but not the "uninstall" .exe icon...

Cheers

-------------------------

Also from LOOT :

"We are aware of the current issue, that masterlist's cannot be updated/downloaded, and are working on resolving the issue.

The issue likely is related to GitHub dropping weak cryptograhic standards and Windows 7 users may be affected. More information can be found here.

For a temporary fix I'll quote WrinklyNinja:

Otherwise, as a temporary workaround, you can disable masterlist updating in LOOT's settings, manually download the appropriate masterlist from one of LOOT's masterlist repositories, and put it at %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOOT\<game>\masterlist.yaml. The download link is

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loot/skyrimse/v0.10/masterlist.yaml

replacing skyrimse with the name of the appropriate masterlist repositories, which are listed on the LOOT organisation page.

EDIT:

Here's a better way to fix the issue.

Download and run Microsoft's fix program (scroll down to the blue Download button on the linked page).

Thank you for informing us. "

From github

QUOTE: Last year we announced the deprecation of several weak cryptographic standards. Then we provided a status update toward the end of last year outlining some changes we’d made to make the transition easier for clients. We quickly approached the February 1, 2018 cutoff date we mentioned in previous posts and, as a result, pushed back our schedule by one week. On February 8, 2018 we’ll start disabling the following:

TLSv1/TLSv1.1: This applies to all HTTPS connections, including web, API, and git connections to https://github.com and https://api.github.com.

diffie-hellman-group1-sha1: This applies to all SSH connections to github.com

diffie-hellman-group14-sha1: This applies to all SSH connections to github.com

We’ll disable the algorithms in two stages:

February 8, 2018 19:00 UTC (11:00 am PST): Disable deprecated algorithms for one hour

February 22, 2018 19:00 UTC (11:00 am PST): Permanently disable deprecated algorithms

-----------------------

@Tannin42 : please fix this ( or ask LOOT to fix this )

If you're on Windows 7, Microsoft released a fix for this, which is available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-a-default-secure-protocols-in

 

The above fix resolved the LOOT masterlist issue for me.

The Windows easy fix worked for me.

Thanks for the tip!

[theGregWhite]

Also have Windows 7. The update method did not work for me at first, then I applied the registry "Easy Fix" and I'm working. Is it possible that both are needed?

 

Thanks for the link, and Vortex rocks!

Another feedback that running the Easy Fix linked by TwoArmedMen15 fixed the problem for me on Windows 7.

Is there a fix to this for Windows 10 users?
