Tracert

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

Tracert (trace route) shows samples of the hops on the route towards your destination (i.e. the IP/Server). If you have an occasional asterisk (*) that means a request may have timed out during the attempt, but that would not terminate your connection on the spot.

If a hop has 3x * (request timed out) consistently, that means that reaching that traffic going through that node could be impacted somehow. Your line 7 and 16 can differ completely from another's, as it depends on your internet service provider selecting the route for you via their configurations to reach the destination IP of the server. If the two different data centers are of the same region, it could be that they actually are in the same building and thus it makes no difference.

It would help if you could provide either a screenshot or a paste of the commandline from line 3 or line 4 onwards (basically without your personal IP/internet service provider information) to get a better idea what could be happening here.

Thanks for the info and help! Havent had to ever worry about this before, so troubleshooting the issue is a learning experience. The 2 data canters were on Famfrit and Materia, so NA and Oceania. Not sure if its relevant to this, but recently i havent even been able to launch the game unless its as Admin, otherwise I get a "Unable to complete version update" error. Pic below for log.
