1.7.10, 1.12.2... Crash on load

[xJon]

First reported over xJon/Hexxit-II#230:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
https://mclo.gs/d7kVwP0#L71

This is using version 1.5, and has been reported by players who ran the modpack and mod before.

I have the same problem, Minecraft version 1.12.2, Mod version 1.3

Confirmed it works for me too. Thanks Eva

It looks like Github changed their SSL certificate on the raw.githubusercontent.com domain to a new one which isn't trusted in very old Java versions (8u51 in this case).

SiB downloads its config from there if there isn't one locally in the config directory:

• either serializationisbad.json
• (Versions >= 1.5) or the serializationisbad-remotecache.json which gets created after a successful download from Github

I'm currently looking for another reliable static file host where I can upload the config file to, which also has a certificate that is trusted by ancient Java versions.

In the meantime, like @EvaLinn already mentioned, adding the file manually to the config directory works as a workaround.

EDIT: Currently evaluating if Cloudflare R2 would be a viable option, but due to maintenance on their end, that may take a bit of time

I just published version 1.5.1 on Github with a changed URL for the remote config.
Could you please check if that resolves the issue on your end as well?

I don't think I can check this out. That's not me holding a server. I can change it on my side but I don't think it's gonna work

Updating it only on the client side should work just fine

I deleted that config file and changed to new version and... Nope, it doesn't work

Could you send me your game log?
