[PC][RaceNet] Unable to establish secure communication with RaceNet

[101111 0]

Hello,

A few months ago I created my first codemasters account to be able to play grid 2 online. After playing for a few weeks I unlinked that account while in-game (because I don't use the old e-mail anymore) and uninstalled the game.

Yesterday I installed it again to play with my friends and for some reason it still thinks my steam account is linked to that old one which I unlinked. I can see my online stats when I select online mode. I can see online lists/lobbies and join them but when I go to global challenges it tries to log in and then it shows this error message: Unable to establish secure communication with RaceNet.

I made this new account with my current e-mail and linked it to my steam account. Opened the game and tried again to play global challenges. I get the same error message: Unable to establish secure communication with RaceNet. I know it's an account issue because my friends can play global challenges.

Is there an additional step I need to take? I need help.
