The problem

Hi, Recently I’m not getting matched to UAE (Dubai) / Middle East servers in CS2 anymore. I used to get ~20–40 ms ping, but now I’m consistently being routed to EU servers with much higher ping. Is the UAE/Middle East datacenter removed/disabled, or could this be a routing/ISP issue? Any official info or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated. Thanks.

What players suggest

i tried even to connect to steam support, they wash their hand, and mentioned that they might not able to assist on the same issue, and i need to check discuss the issue in steam community and look for solution, but i believe that no resolution for the issue yet and valve is not aware what is wrong with their servers / connection

Same issue here in Abu Dhabi, UAE, using Etisalat. My ping to the Dubai server used to be below 30ms, but now it's around 120ms. Singapore is only 80–90ms. It looks like there's an issue with Valve's UAE servers or network routing. Is anyone aware of an official update or fix?
