No problems with any other games or general connectivity....
That report actually shows issues happening around Telia, before you even leave the EU.

62.115.52.222 - level3-ic-312392-dls-b21.c.telia.net - Teliasonera Ab - Stockholm

Looks like you have quite a routing issue there. Appears to be the exchange point into Level3. Who knows if it is something solely for Telia to address or Level3--more likely something between them needs to be negotiated. Either way, it looks like congestion reached the point that you registered 99% loss at that hop...receiving only 11 out of 1003 packets sent. Utilization apparently has reached a point where that hop is delaying/dropping packets trying to keep up with the demand. This potentially affects everything that follows along the routes that are using that hop. If the routing elsewhere does not use that hop, than that is likely why you don't experience issues.

Your ISP's Tier3 support should be able to conduct a proper investigation and escalate the issue for correction--be that getting Telia to get the ball rolling, or somehow arranging to get you routed away from that troubled hop. Your ISP's routing policies are ultimately what have put you there.
