@JimmyRJump - Thanks for the pep talk. Good information all of it. Sometimes I don't see the forest for the trees. =P NOW....I'm going to give those who are having some issues a tip. Please check your device manager and update your Network Adapter driver if you haven't already. Mine is a Realtek PCIe and since the latest Windows 10 Update did NOT update it, you can do it yourself. For some strange reason, DESPITE always playing my games including Fallout 4 with Steam in offline mode, it fixed MY game CTDs & freezing & loud buzzing sounds completely. GO figure. =P
