Unable to access gameservers when IPV6 is enabled.

I am having timeout issues accessing pantheonmmo servers when IPV6 is enabled on my computer when disabled everything works fine. I am passing the tests at ipv6-test.com, and performing a traceroute it appears to be stopping in the Comcast network. 

traceroute to gl.pantheonmmo.com [Edited: "Personal Information"], 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

Again if I turn off IPV6 (required for other things) everything works fine. Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for reaching out to us it does sound like there's an issue with the server have you reached out to pantheonmmo servers  support team to see why you're not able to access the server when you're ipv6 is enabled

I have reached out to them, the question is coming up because the traceroute ends at a comcast node it appears.

You can learn more about IPv6 here. pat_m1

Comcast’s IPv6 program strives to make the company’s content available over IPv6. We'll maintain support for IPv4, while adding support for IPv6. You won't need a new Comcast device when your area makes the switch to IPv6.

You only need a new device for your Xfinity Internet if:

We determine the current device is malfunctioning, or
You want to upgrade to a higher speed than your current device is capable of.

WiFi is IPv6 is compatible. However, it may require an upgrade to your gateway firmware or hardware.

If you have a wireless gateway (Ethernet to WiFi bridge) connected to an Xfinity Internet gateway to achieve wireless capability, the gateway may need to be replaced with one that is IPv6 capable.

For the sake of clarity, Comcast's entire footprint has been dual stack since 2014.

... the traceroute ends at a comcast node ...

The trace doesn't so much "end" there as the traceroute program gives up there. The "!N" symbols on that line mean "Network unreachable". See https://www.ibm.com/docs/sl/aix/7.1?topic=t-traceroute-command.
