I also find your trace path is much different than mine. You're going through Germany for some strange reason.

This is what I get on my trace, by the way...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>tracert updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com

 

The trick was to trace the exact srvN(<-the number from the log).update.digitalcombatsimulator.com server to refresh its DNS record. The updater does not use the 'updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com' address.
