DNS error when downloading games
ive recenlty gotten a new computer for christmas and have been experiencing connection issues with my wifi and having DNS errors when i try to download a game but i have just fixed the connection issue by updating my drivers but the only problem left is that i still have DNS errors when i try to download games (been trying to get fallout 4 but still barely at 10 gb cause of the problem) does anyone have a related problem or a way to fix this?

Try exiting Steam Client fully.
Then launch CMD in Windows as an Admin.
Then do the following:
IPCONFIG /RELEASE
IPCONFIG /RENEW
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

When connection is back again, relaunch Steam Client and verify game cache for game (or simply continue trying to download the rest). If this occurs again, delete the game, go to Steam Settings > Downloads > change your region server. After Steam Client restarts, try downloading the game again.
