My CSGO is broken, can't join any games, stuck in spectator mode

[wilD]

Right, so, this all started a week or two ago. After a lengthy session of removing a tonne of software to get my Adobe suite working again.

Basically, whenever I join a game of CS, community servers, valve servers, MM, anything, I get forced into the spectator screen and can't do anything. Can't join a team or type in game.

This has led to me being banned from MM four times now, and I haven't been able to play MM since it started happening :/.

I've tried verifying game integrity: no success, tried re-installing too, still no success

So I found a weird fix because both ESEA and FaceIt work, turns out that if I tab out while on the loading screen I get into the game. unfortunately this doesn't work for MM, as I found out with a 24 hour ban ><, removing my overwatch rights.

So that's the basics of it. Now here's the weird part: I can't join any Dota 2 games either, I get stuck on the loading screen after accepting the game and told I've been disconnected.

SO, I'm guessing I've messed up my internet but then my laptop still runs CS fine, so it's a problem with my desktop only

If anyone has any ideas, or has experienced the same issue I'd love to here about it

Do you actually? I've found a bypass to it by running my ethernet cable directly into my modem instead of my router.

So basically I've narrowed it down to some problem occuring between my PC and my Router.

Haven't tried repairing windows yet but that's my next step as I want my PC to work at LANs and not just at home.

What router do you have btw?
