Need Evidence Report: suddenly high ping on eu servers

Summary suddenly high ping on eu servers

Detailed Explanation
since like friday i have 80+ ping, mostly around 100 up to sometimes 140 on eu servers despite me living in germany. tried multiple servers and its basically the same on every skial eu one (examples 91.216.250.226:27015 and 91.216.250.231:27015). other community servers based in eu are fine and i tested my internet speed and it was also around 20ms ping. so it has to be something with skial. i tried to run WinMTR but when i enter the server ip adress i always get "unable to resolve hostname". i tried finding out what the problem is with the program but have no idea and really dont have the time rn to troubleshoot further or contact the devs just to play a silly video game with decent connection.

couple of things, germany is known for not having reliable internet in certain areas
cloudflare has been having issues lately
could be your ISP ripping you off
your neighbor is "borrowing" your wifi
if you have changed any settings recently try reverting them, if you've bought a new computer/phone/iot appliance...etc disconnect them

try doing traceroute in cmd to the skial servers and you'll find specifically which hop is taking the longest

if you're using your ISP's DNS then you should switch to cloudflare dns or nextdns or something(even tho I don't think it's dns but you never know)

hope this helps

 

[machinewitchcreature]

traceroute in cmd gets the exact same result of "unable to resolve hostname"
i tried some other internet adresses like google dot com and google's ip adress and also a non skial tf2 server ip
all the "normal" internet adresses like google work as they should while i also get "unable to resolve hostname" from the non skial tf2 server ip
so whatever is the problem uniqely hates tf2 server ips for some reason

 

[Aeon]

remove the port use only the ip

traceroute 91.216.250.226

 

[machinewitchcreature]

ugh great why is that not mentioned anywhere. everything else is idiotproof but how was i as a non tech savvy person supposed to know that ip adress means cut off everything after the colon

 

[machinewitchcreature]

a

 

[Aeon]

DUDE WHY WOULD YOU POST THIS HERE, edit your post and remove it, you're leaking your ip

 

[machinewitchcreature]

yeah i did and i am stupid and tired and give up

 

[machinewitchcreature]

if i am leaking my fucking ip with this why the fuck does the "read me first" thread tell me to
"click Copy Text to clipboard. Make a thread and paste the contents by pressing ctrl+v or right clicking in a text box and clicking Paste."
if a total idiot like me has no idea what any of it means and what part i need to cut because it is sensitive information

I did not see the readme till now that is a good question tbh hmmm not sure if it hides your ip?

 

[machinewitchcreature]

im just not gonna risk it again until someone explains what part of the result is necessary to tell where the issue is

 

[Bottiger]

You didn't follow the instructions.

 

[machinewitchcreature]

I followed the instructions and ran WinMTR and posted my results.
Until someone replied and told me that apparently i was leaking my IP with it so i obviously deleted it.
I just ran it again and properly looked up which IP adresses on the list belong to me specifically.
Im gonna cut that line out and copy paste the rest of the table.
