Server location

[Massacher]

Is the server located in France? And where can we show the ping to the server in game? I would like to know how many ms it takes to and from the server.

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but I'm too lazy to look at my router's logs.  I'm sure somebody will soon.

I did a traceroute on the website and here are the results:

Trace complete.

Either the timeout is due to lag or they have routes taken after hop 10 hidden for some reason. Blizzard do this too. It's like they don't want us to know the full route. Who knows why.

I'd like to do a traceroute on the game server too. If anyone knows the ip?

Its not, 1 ip or even 1 server or even 1 datacenter. 

DU uses AWS. There are several parts and protocols involved. 

Each player connects to the closest AWS endpoint that NQ set up. 

 

If you want to know one of the ips you are connected, check your router for AWS reverse dnsed ips. 

 

Or use wireshark(free) to sniff all your network packages.

What is AWS? I'm not familiar with that acronym.

Amazon web services. 

Basicaly company (owned by Jeff Bezos ) that provides datacenter services, like servers, websites, vpns and allot more.

Yeah, DU runs on a geographically distributed mesh of servers, not one roomful of rackmount.
