    Yours is an unusual issue , trying to diagnose remotely is difficult, and we have tried way more things then usual to find the cause.

    Is there a firewall on your router/modem ? have you tried rebooting that router / modem and/or turning off its firewall as a test (just in case).

    sfc /scannow

    I have decided that I will just stop trying to fix the issue because honestly, I don't like the idea of reinstalling my OS to fix a game, will accept last post as solution.
