High Latency and Transatlantic Routing Issue to Game Server (Albion Online)

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing severe latency spikes and connection drops while trying to connect to a specific game server (live01-win-01.dc02.albion.zone). I ran a traceroute and noticed that my traffic is taking a massive detour and failing at the destination.
For context, I am on the Internet 1000 plan and using a wired Ethernet connection.
I am located in Indiana. Here is a breakdown of what the traceroute shows:
  • Hops 1–6 (Local & Regional): Connections to local Comcast nodes and Chicago hubs look great (under 20 ms).
  • Hop 8 to 10 (The Jump): Latency spikes from 19 ms to 130+ ms as the traffic jumps onto the aorta.net backbone and crosses the Atlantic to Europe.
  • Hop 21: Traffic hits the game's hosting provider gateway (gw.gcore.lu) and latency spikes past 230+ ms.
  • Hops 22–30: The trace times out completely and never reaches the final destination IP.
Is there any way to get Comcast/Xfinity to look into this routing path, or is this an issue that must be resolved by the destination network hosting provider?
Here is the complete traceroute data:

Any advice or help from the community or Xfinity support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
