CSGO is awesome even if you play it casually like I do myself ;O!

Need to play it still.

Its one of two games I have kept installed on my PC from my Steam library :o

Usually back up all games I finish and delete them off my PC's HDD for more space.

Updated to Windows 10.
It's alright.  

Like some parts of it, and don't really like others.

Off my computer.  

Can someone check to see how to fix this
"DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG"

I'm not able to access like any sites.

dns_probe_finished_bad_config prevents you from accessing websites, causes issues with connecting to outside services. As the name suggests, this is aDNS related error. The function of DNS is to resolve/translate names so when your system cannot resolve or translate the address, you will get this error or DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. By default, your computer is set to use the DNS configured in your router or modem which is Internet Providers DNS unless it has been changed. I always recommend using public dns servers, which you should  see  in this guide as they are most active and have a 99% uptime. If you don't understand, don't worry, just follow the steps below.
To fix this issue, follow the steps below:
1. Hold  Windows key and press R
2. In the run dialog, type cmd and click OK
3. When the Black Command Prompt opens, type the following in it and Hit Enter.

Quoteipconfig /flushdns
ipconfigflushdns


This will flush dns cache. Which is sometimes, the cause when there is a change in the DNS and the system is looking up its local cache to take you to the websites.
4. Once this is done, Hold  Windows key and press Ragain.
5. This time, type ncpa.cpl and Click OK.
6. You will be taken to the network connections.
What we need to do here, is update your DNS settings.
7. Identify your network adapter, which is connected and right click it, then choose Properties.
ncpaproperties
8. Then, from the properties pane, click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" once so that it becomes highlighted in grey and select Propertiesagain.
connectionproperties
9. Put check on use the following dns server addresses and enter the following for Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server
QuotePreferred DNS SERVER: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS SERVER 8.8.4.4
dnsservers
Click OK and close the rest of the windows.
I have also created a network connections reset script, which you should try in case issue is not fixed. Go to Limited  Connectivity post, and follow the steps there. This should fix the issues with the websites.

Seems like No Man's Sky but without the ability to planet jump. Goal is to rebuilt ship and regain hyper jump abilities according to the press kit.

All this talk of hyper ships reminded me of Solar Winds.  Anyone play it?
