Okay so I first noticed this problem right after a friend of mine cleaned my computer of viruses. I took it to him to make it run better but when I got it back, it wasn't working properly.
I use the computer as a gaming pc and the said game has a launcher associated with it. I first noticed the problem here when I tried to play the game after I got it back. Said it couldn't connect to server. At first I just thought the games servers were down.
When I thought it was the games fault, I visited official and secured sites to update my drivers, hoping that once I can play again it'll help it run a lot smoother. That was when I noticed it just wasn't the game. DirectX had me download their own launcher to update the drivers. It loaded to 100% in like 10-12 seconds and gave me a Network Connection error.
The error message, like the game, said I wasn't connected to the Internet... And interesting enough, I was. The actual web browser worked without a hitch... Any site I tried.
Then I tried it just now at my girlfriends house, thinking maybe it was just my router or something, but the problem persists even when connected to her Internet. Same thing: the Internet works perfectly but both the updates or their respective launchers say something akin to Network Connection Timed Out or something similar...
Pleeeeeaaaase help me
