"Failed to Log in" Cannot connect to dark souls 3 servers

[Afk]

EDIT:
Fixed it, read my last post below.

I've been looking at this game for awhile, and my friend recently bought it for me for christmas, DLCs and all. However, I have been completely unable to access the dark souls 3 servers. It has been a week, and I have been trying to connect at various times, hoping that it would fix itself. I've tried lots of solutions, but none of them are working.

Here is a list:

Disabling Firewall
Restarting Router
Portforwarding
Reinstalling Game
Downloading some then starting game
Switching Steam Download Server
done commands /ipconfig flushnds then the other one and restarting PC
Verifying Integrity through steam
Switching matchmaking

My PC and Internet works fine for every other multiplayer game I've played, never had an issue like this. I was sort of hoping that it would fix itself if I progressed further but I'm 5+ hours into the game it still isn't working.

Anybody have any fixes?

Try use this

Right-click the Home button, and then click Command Prompt (Administrator). Powershell

Type sfc /scannow (note the space in the code) and press Enter. Let the system run the command in peace.

In the same window, then type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (note the spaces in the code) and press Enter. Let the system run the command in peace.

Run the sfc /scannow command again and restart the computer.

Also this simple tool
To find ur files easily download Everything from here: https://www.voidtools.com/
You will love it! It is a search engine that will find everything on your PC instantly.
After installing, it will take some time building a library of your files, and then you
can paste in the search field right folders in right place sound like some of your folders got corrupted. If they are, you need to let Steam generate new ones,and after thst u can copy/paste right folder in the right place

You must enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders":

I tried this and it unfortunately didn't work. I'm gonna try portforwarding again, maybe I botched it or something, I'll mention here if it works. Also getting my friend who plays Ds3 and can connect to come to my house and try and connect tmr to isolate problem a bit.

I managed to fix it. The firewall on my PC wasn't blocking Ds3 servers but the firewall directly on the router was. Thanks for the help Odin.
