Internet locks up for a minute when launching any Steam game
2 replies, posted
So I've been dealing with this problem for a while now, but I really want to fix it so here I am.
Opening any Steam game, offline or online, my internet locks up. Not right away, but 10-15 seconds after the Steam game has been launched. I try to go to a website but this shows up:

The weird thing is, though, that Steam chat still works, and if I'm in a Teamspeak/Mumble server, I can still hear and talk to the other people.
I have tried the following:
flushing the dns
powercycling the router
running CMD command "netsh winsock reset"
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your answer, reinstalling Steam sounded like the one thing that wouldn't work but it appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks!
