The second way is a bit more arduous but not complicated. Reinstalling the game will fix the issue most of the time. It shouldn’t occur again and is probably related to the corruption in the game files. This is solved during reinstallation.

The final way is the most complicated way. Some troubleshooters have linked the issue to the IPv6 internet protocol. This protocol is related to end-to-end data transmission and can sometimes cause errors with online games or peer-to-peer sharing programs.
