Do I just have to get a new hard drive? Is there anything else I can still do?
Try checking the drive using Seatools (which works for most drives):chkdsk/r did nothing, and Ccleaner and Malwarebytes did nothing. I actually did a total wipe of my hard drive and reinstall of windows a couple weeks ago and installed nothing from untrustworthy sites. Updating my network drives did nothing. My drive was acting like this before I reinstalled. And it seems to start acting like this out of nowhere. Do I just have to get a new hard drive? Is there anything else I can still do?
Launch Task Manager (to monitor HDD usage by every process) and then try again to play those games that make your hard disk slow in order to identify which process uses most of your HDD. Maybe you can find something relevant.
What makes you believe it is the HDD rather than not enough RAM or weak processor? Did you read which are the minimum hardware requirements for those video games?
It's definitely not my other hardware, I run a 4.2 GHz i7 7700k processor with 8GB of ram. The game I am running requires 1 GB ram and a 1.7+ GHz or better. And it isn't framerate lag, it's network lag.

Isn't your disk waiting for the internet download to complete? A slow internet, an overloaded server? Start with testing your internet speed. Download some other file (don't run it trow it righ away in the dustbin) from whatever place and see if that performs wel......It seems other games that don't require downloading things from the internet work fine. Just when I try to load things such as a map that I don't already have downloaded it seems to just take forever and lag awfully. ..
......It seems to be working fine a lot of the time. But I've been experiencing that I cant play games such as Don't starve together while playing with somebody or Roblox. It seems other games that don't require downloading things from the internet work fine.....
