We're aware that players are sometimes experiencing an SSL_CONNECT_ERROR usually when beginning or ending levels, after entering the Bridge of Shadows portal. Though this error can also be experienced at other times.
If our general Connectivity Error solutions here do not resolve the issue, this can indicate a local data issue.
