CertVerifyCertificateChainPolicy returns TRUE, with no errors. Why does that make the app hang?
Continuing that line of thinking: I suspect that it's hanging because it's trying to reach https://locate.madserver.net. Before it gave up because of crypt32 failing to validate the certificate. Now it succeeds, and continues on to the next step, whatever that is, and it's the next step that's hanging.
Perhaps a +relay log beginning with CertVerifyCertificateChainPolicy would give some indication what it's trying to do.
