I would have posted a tracert earlier but you tagged me wrongly :( and I had not checked PG for three days.
Anyways pings on my end are horrible for some reason.

Please tracerts, not ping results. And no, peering needs to be optimised at Transworld's end for Dubai server to be <50 ms. Their forward path is not being advertised properly, pretty sure its dynamic but then again I don't work @ TW so I am just speculating :laugh1:

Transworld peering to Dubai is not direct just yet; according to miltons post on dev.dota2.com he has raised the issue with datamena so that they can contact TW directly to fix the issue.

PTCL users are straight up boned; PTCL is unwilling to peer because it is not a "feasible" option for them at the moment; confirmation direct from the gent that manages the [MENTION=24169]ptcl[/MENTION]cares twitter account.

PTCL hasn't made any changes yet in regards to routing to Dubai; only changes that have been effected have been by Datamena on valves end, nor should one expect PTCL to make changes any time soon

Have yet to see whether TW will respond and change things after being contacted by Datamena though, will see.

Trace complete.
The high latency spike in between is due to some heavy load on my DSL modem. But still we can get the idea. So any new on DXB server by Milton ?

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
