High Ping | Need Server IP Address for Tracert Command

in CMD window; netstat -o -n

Gives you active connections and process ID

To get process ID of 2042, start game and in task manager "Details" tab, find BF2042.exe and see the column called PID.

Start a MP game, alt-tab to windows and open CMD, type: netstat -o -n

Find PID associated with BF2042.exe and see IP addresses. One of those would be the server you connect to, but I guess there will be several connections for BF2042.exe

HTH.

This will only work on PC. No idea on PS5/Xbox connections, sorry. Would require DICE/EA to answer.

I investigate from WireShark that EA uses AWS for game servers. You can get AWS ips for different locations from here  https://www.peeringdb.com/net/1418 

For central Europe it going to be Frankfurt with peering ip 80.81.195.152 as of now

Note: if you try to ping exactly same ip as a game server it fails. In that case you need to use mtr command with --udp flag instead simple ping

For work, I needed to get all the IP addresses of the AWS eu-central-1 data center (which hosts my Battlefield server), I collected and uploaded them here (https://gist.github.com/igolka97/3441261e0d3442c8dc4df2132b1acb36) while got full list from here (https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json) You can also get them from there for your region.
