Hello,

You still have old GEO IP DATABASE which is not update more than one year ago and GEO IP updates are on monthly base, do you plan to fix this issue as there are lots of ip location/country changes for ipv4?

Regards

GeoIP databases are never 100% up to date. However, you're free to claim your server yourself and change the flag if it is incorrect.

PS. GT does not post any information regarding which geo-sources or last updates to them, so I'm not clear on the bulk of your post. Anyway, the above will answer your concern.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Free GeoIP database from maxmind is update every month (this database almost everyone use, including RIPE), as there is only smaller number of ipv4 ranges available in the world, ip ranges are changing country's on daily base according to ISP needs and growth.

I have checked few IP ranges and gametracker uses very old GEO IP database which probably has many wrong country ip ranges.

You should consider updating your database, after all it's free.
