Frequently asked questions
Below you will find some of the frequently asked questions for Rainbow Six Siege

How do matchmaking rating and ranks work in Rainbow Six Siege?
Please check out this Rainbow Six Siege blog post for in-depth information on ranks.

What should I know about Alpha Packs?
Alpha Packs are a way to receive free cosmetics. Alpha Packs are also a way to get limited time cosmetics, such as the Black Ice Weapon Skin series. Information on getting Alpha Packs and their content can be found here.

How can I play with friends on another platform? Can I transfer my game / content to another platform?
At this time, there is no cross-platform support for this game.

How does Matchmaking Rating roll back work in Rainbow Six Siege?
Matchmaking Rating (MMR) rollback was introduced to reduce the impact cheaters may have on other players ranks. When a cheater is sanctioned, the feature will roll back any rating gains and losses for all players from matches that the banned player took part in. This does not have an impact on your rewards. This means that if you are affected by a roll back, you will still receive seasonal rewards that match the highest rank you reached. Further details can be found here.

Why didn't I receive my end of the Season charm?
If you did not receive your charm, it may be one of these two situations:

• Your account received a 15 day sanction for being boosted by a cheater. For details, please check out the code of conduct.
• Your account did not have a ban. In this place please contact support,

TTS information
What platforms are the TTS on?
PC. If you have the game on console, you should be able to access the TTS on PC if you use the same Ubisoft account that you use to play on console.

How do I report bugs from the TTS?
Please report them on the R6Fix module for the TTS here.

I don't see the TTS in Uplay, help!
The TTS will only be available when it is active. The TTS subreddit will say if it is is active at this time. If it is active, please make sure you are logged into the same account you play Rainbow Six Siege on. If you are, please contact support.

I have other questions about the TTS.
Please check out this blog post for further information!

PC technical troubleshooting
If you are experiencing crashes or other issues on Rainbow Six Siege, please try the following steps:

1. Verify files
A good first step is to verify files. This checks to make sure there are no missing or corrupted files.
Uplay

• In Uplay, click on Games tab at the top of the window
• On the next screen, hover over the game tile. This will make a little arrow appear at the bottom right of the tile
• Click on this arrow to make a drop-down menu appear, then click on Verify files

Epic

• Navigate to Rainbow Six Siege in your library
• Click verify
• After verification, the launch option will appear

Steam

• Restart your computer and launch Steam
• From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
• Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files... button.
• Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

2. Run Uplay with administrator rights
To do this:

• Right-click the desktop icon of the application (or the executable file in the INSTALLATION DIRECTORY) and select Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Click Change settings for all users.
• Under Privilege Level, check Run this program as administrator.
• Click Apply.

For more information on running programs as administrator, click here.

3. Disable background applications
A software conflict may be causing this issue. To do this:

• Go to the Start menu on your Desktop. Press the Windows key and the letter R at the same time.
• Type in MSCONFIG and press Enter.
• Uncheck the Load Startup items box, then select the Services tab.
• Check Hide all Microsoft services, then click the option to Disable All.
• Press Apply, then Close and pick the option to Restart.

Try the game again, and see if this helped.

4. Check for Windows Updates.
If your operating system is out of date, it may cause issues. Please check this official Microsoft article for further details.

5. Uninstall and reinstall Uplay
It is strongly suggested you back up your save files before attempting this step.The uninstaller by default is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher. You can reinstall Uplay by going here. Details on this step can be found on this FAQ.

6. Make sure your drivers are updated
Ensure that the drivers for your video card, sound card, motherboard and processor are all updated. SLI may also cause issues. If you are overclocking, try running at stock settings. You may want to also perform a clean installation of your video card drivers (AMD, NVIDIA)

7. Clear your temporary files.

• Go to the Start menu on your Desktop.
• Press the Windows key and the letter R at the same time.
• Type in %TEMP% and press Enter.
• Select All (Edit > Select All or Ctrl+A).
• Click the Delete key.

Note: If you are using Windows 7, you will need to press Ctrl + A together to highlight the files. Once the files are highlighted, you will need to press the Delete key.

8. Reinstall supporting software
Instructions on performing this step can be found here.

If you are still experiencing crashes, please create a support ticket with your MSINFO and DXDIAG files.

PC connection troubleshooting
If you are having issues with your connection to Rainbow Six Siege, please try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Reset your network hardware
Resetting your network hardware allows it to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP. To do this:

• Shut down all computers/consoles connected to your modem and/or router.
• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug in and turn on the modem and/or router

This will power cycle your modem or router.

2. Make sure there are no software conflicts
A common cause of lag, disconnections or other connection issues is software conflicts.

• Make sure that your proxy settings are setup correctly.
• Update any personal firewall software.
• Make sure that Windows Firewall is updated by making sure your Windows is current and updated.
• If updating these programs does not help, try to configure the software to allow access to the game. This is usually done through the Exceptions List. If adding the game, make sure to add the executable (.exe file) for both Rainbow Six Siege and Uplay
• Disable all background applications before running the game.

3. Enable UPnP
Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports. Due to the amount of different routers, we cannot provide exact steps and recommend you consult your routers manual or your ISP.

4. Port Forwarding
Port forwarding makes sure that the router's firewall does not interfere with the game's connection. For more information, please check out this FAQ. If you forward ports, please set up a static IP for your PC. Steps on how to do this can be found here.
The ports that are needed for Rainbow Six Siege are:
TCP: 80, 443
UDP: 10000-10099, 3074, 6015

5. Reset your host file
Resetting your host file rules out that an outdated configuration is the cause of your issue. The Hosts file is a text file created as part of your Windows OS. For steps on how to do this, please check out this FAQ.

6. Flush your DNS.
Your DNS cache stores the IP addresses of web servers and may have outargued or bad information. We recommend flushing your DNS cache to improve your connection. Instructions can be found here.

7. External restrictions
There may be restrictions set by your ISP or network administrator. Some examples of where this may be an issue include a university campus, a military base, or shared housing. If you believe this you are affected by this, please contact your ISP or network administrator.

If you are still experiencing connection issues after completing these steps, please create a ticket with a screenshot of your forwarded ports. Please do not post your ports on the forums for security purposes.

PC performance issues

If you are experiencing performance issues please try the following:

1) Check if your PC meets the system requirements. If your setup meets the minimum requirements, we recommend running the game with lower graphical settings, as higher presets may strain your system. If your setup meets the recommended requirements, the game will run smoothly in the vast majority of cases but specific graphical settings may require more powerful hardware.

2) Try our basic PC troubleshooting guide.

3) Change graphical settings. An easy way to boost performance is to head to the Graphics options screen and try turning parameters down to lower settings. To reach this screen:

• From the Main menu, select the Options menu (gear icon) then click on Graphics
• On this screen, you'll be able to change the Overall Quality to a lower setting or to fine-tune your settings. Keep in mind that some of those options are more demanding than others.
• For example, try experimenting with the VSync settings, they can have an impact on your FPS rate.

4) Check VRAM by using the graph available in the Graphics section described above. Going over the available VRAM will very likely result in slower performances.

If you are still experiencing performance issues, please create a support ticket with your MSINFO and DXDIAG files.

Other common issues

Issues with microphone or in-game chat on PC
If you are having troubles with your microphone on PC, this is often related to your Default Communications Device not matching your setting in game. Please check here for further details and steps.

Low FPS on PC
Please note that without an FPS limiter of some kind Rainbow Six will run as fast as possible with all the resources available on the PC. If you are having troubles with stuttering, please consider using the FPS limiter in the .ini files or using Vsync.

Bug Reports
If you seem to have found a bug in our game, we highly recommend R6Fix. Please select whether this issue is on the Test Server or the Live Server. After that you can Contribute the issues you've seen by reporting new ones or reporting that you can reproduce issues that others have seen. You can also Prioritize issues that others have already reported enough times. This helps us know what you consider top of your list!

Failed to load player profile on PC
This issue is caused by a corrupted local save and can often be resolved by replacing it with a new save file. Please follow these steps to see if they help:
1. Close the Uplay application down.
Please open your system tray by clicking the little arrow located to the right of your taskbar and check that the client is not running in the background.
2. If you own the game on Uplay or on the Epic Games Launcher:
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\\635 and copy the folder to your Desktop.
Once you have created a backup, delete the folder. If you own the game on Steam:
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\\1843 and copy the folder to your Desktop.
Once you have created a backup, delete the folder.
3. Start Uplay in administrator and disable the local save
4. Launch Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.
5. Once in the game, customise an operator's loadout and complete a Situation to allow an autosave to be created.
6. Exit the game, and re-enable cloud save
7. Launch Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege again.
You should receive a prompt asking you which save you would like to use. Select the local save option - this will also update the cloud save.

Frequently asked questions
Below you will find some of the frequently asked questions for Rainbow Six Siege

How do matchmaking rating and ranks work in Rainbow Six Siege?
Please check out this Rainbow Six Siege blog post for in-depth information on ranks.

What should I know about Alpha Packs?
Alpha Packs are a way to receive free cosmetics. Alpha Packs are also a way to get limited time cosmetics, such as the Black Ice Weapon Skin series. Information on getting Alpha Packs and their content can be found here.

How can I play with friends on another platform? Can I transfer my game / content to another platform?
At this time, there is no cross-platform support for this game.

How does Matchmaking Rating roll back work in Rainbow Six Siege?
Matchmaking Rating (MMR) rollback was introduced to reduce the impact cheaters may have on other players ranks. When a cheater is sanctioned, the feature will roll back any rating gains and losses for all players from matches that the banned player took part in. This does not have an impact on your rewards. This means that if you are affected by a roll back, you will still receive seasonal rewards that match the highest rank you reached. Further details can be found here.

Why didn't I receive my end of the Season charm?
If you did not receive your charm, it may be one of these two situations:

• Your account received a 15 day sanction for being boosted by a cheater. For details, please check out the code of conduct.
• Your account did not have a ban. In this place please contact support

TTS information
What platforms are the TTS on?
PC. If you have the game on console, you should be able to access the TTS on PC if you use the same Ubisoft account that you use to play on console.

How do I report bugs from the TTS?
Please report them on the R6Fix module for the TTS here.

I don't see the TTS in Uplay, help!
The TTS will only be available when it is active. The TTS subreddit will say if it is is active at this time. If it is active, please make sure you are logged into the same account you play Rainbow Six Siege on. If you are, please contact support.

I have other questions about the TTS.
Please check out this blog post for further information!

PC connection troubleshooting
If you are having issues with your connection to Rainbow Six Siege, please try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Reset your network hardware
Resetting your network hardware allows it to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP. To do this:

• Shut down all computers/consoles connected to your modem and/or router.
• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug in and turn on the modem and/or router

This will power cycle your modem or router.

2. Make sure there are no software conflicts
A common cause of lag, disconnections or other connection issues is software conflicts.

• Make sure that your proxy settings are setup correctly.
• Update any personal firewall software.
• Make sure that Windows Firewall is updated by making sure your Windows is current and updated.
• If updating these programs does not help, try to configure the software to allow access to the game. This is usually done through the Exceptions List. If adding the game, make sure to add the executable (.exe file) for both Rainbow Six Siege and Uplay
• Disable all background applications before running the game.

3. Enable UPnP
Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports. Due to the amount of different routers, we cannot provide exact steps and recommend you consult your routers manual or your ISP.

4. Port Forwarding
Port forwarding makes sure that the router's firewall does not interfere with the game's connection. For more information, please check out this FAQ. If you forward ports, please set up a static IP for your PC. Steps on how to do this can be found here.
The ports that are needed for Rainbow Six Siege are:
TCP: 80, 443
UDP: 10000-10099, 3074, 6015

5. Reset your host file
Resetting your host file rules out that an outdated configuration is the cause of your issue. The Hosts file is a text file created as part of your Windows OS. For steps on how to do this, please check out this FAQ.

6. Flush your DNS.
Your DNS cache stores the IP addresses of web servers and may have outargued or bad information. We recommend flushing your DNS cache to improve your connection. Instructions can be found here.

Resetting your network hardware allows it to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP. To do this:

• Shut down all computers/consoles connected to your modem and/or router.
• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug in and turn on the modem and/or router

This will power cycle your modem or router.

2. Power cycle your Xbox One
Power cycling your Xbox will do various things, including reset your hardware's network activity.

• Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for about10 seconds.
• Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console/ the Xbox button on your controller.

Note If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

3. Clear your Xbox's cache
Clearing the cache erases temporary files, which if they become corrupted, may lead to connectivity issues. To do this:

• Turn off the Xbox completely
• Unplug the Xbox for two minutes
• Turn the Xbox back on

Note: this will not clear any saves or installation.

4. Enable UPnP
Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports. Due to the amount of different routers, we cannot provide exact steps and recommend you consult your routers manual or your ISP.

5. Port Forwarding
Port forwarding makes sure that the router's firewall does not interfere with the game's connection. For more information, please check out this FAQ. If you forward ports, you will also want to set up a static IP for your Xbox One. Instructions on this can be found here.
The ports needed for Rainbow Six Siege are:

TCP: 80, 443
UDP: 10000-10099, 3074, 6150

6. Place the console into the DMZ
Please follow the instructions on this FAQ. Please be aware that your Xbox will not be protected by your router's security measures in the DMZ. If you have concerns about the security of the network you are on, we recommend that you do not apply this troubleshooting step.

7. External restrictions
There may be restrictions set by your ISP or network administrator. Some examples of where this may be an issue include a university campus, a military base, or shared housing. If you believe this you are affected by this, please contact your ISP or network administrator.

If you are still experiencing connection issues after completing these steps, please create a ticket with a screenshot of your forwarded ports. Please do not post your ports on the forums for security purposes.

PC performance issues

If you are experiencing performance issues please try the following:

1) Check if your PC meets the system requirements. If your setup meets the minimum requirements, we recommend running the game with lower graphical settings, as higher presets may strain your system. If your setup meets the recommended requirements, the game will run smoothly in the vast majority of cases but specific graphical settings may require more powerful hardware.

2) Try our basic PC troubleshooting guide.

3) Change graphical settings. An easy way to boost performance is to head to the Graphics options screen and try turning parameters down to lower settings. To reach this screen:

• From the Main menu, select the Options menu (gear icon) then click on Graphics
• On this screen, you'll be able to change the Overall Quality to a lower setting or to fine-tune your settings. Keep in mind that some of those options are more demanding than others.
• For example, try experimenting with the VSync settings, they can have an impact on your FPS rate.

4) Check VRAM by using the graph available in the Graphics section described above. Going over the available VRAM will very likely result in slower performances.

If you are still experiencing performance issues, please create a support ticket with your MSINFO and DXDIAG files.

Other common issues

Issues with microphone or in-game chat on PC
If you are having troubles with your microphone on PC, this is often related to your Default Communications Device not matching your setting in game. Please check here for further details and steps.

Low FPS on PC
Please note that without an FPS limiter of some kind Rainbow Six will run as fast as possible with all the resources available on the PC. If you are having troubles with stuttering, please consider using the FPS limiter in the .ini files or using Vsync.

Bug Reports
If you seem to have found a bug in our game, we highly recommend R6Fix. Please select whether this issue is on the Test Server or the Live Server. After that you can Contribute the issues you've seen by reporting new ones or reporting that you can reproduce issues that others have seen. You can also Prioritize issues that others have already reported enough times. This helps us know what you consider top of your list!

Padlock on Features on PS4
If you have some padlocks on features, it could mean that the game is not yet fully installed. To check this, please check out this FAQ.

Failed to load player profile on PC
This issue is caused by a corrupted local save and can often be resolved by replacing it with a new save file. Please follow these steps to see if they help:
1. Close the Uplay application down.
Please open your system tray by clicking the little arrow located to the right of your taskbar and check that the client is not running in the background.
2. If you own the game on Uplay or on the Epic Games Launcher:
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\\635 and copy the folder to your Desktop.
Once you have created a backup, delete the folder. If you own the game on Steam:
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\\1843 and copy the folder to your Desktop.
Once you have created a backup, delete the folder.
3. Start Uplay in administrator and disable the local save

Connection troubleshooting

If you are having issues with your connection to Hyper Scape, please try the following troubleshooting steps.



1. Reset your network hardware

Resetting your network hardware allows it to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP. To do this:

• Shut down all computers/consoles connected to your modem and/or router.
  
• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
  
• Wait 60 seconds.
  
• Plug in and turn on the modem and/or router
  

This will power cycle your modem or router.



2. Make sure there are no software conflicts

A common cause of lag, disconnections or other connection issues is software conflicts.

• Make sure that your proxy settings are setup correctly.
  
• Update any personal firewall software.
  
• Make sure that Windows Firewall is updated by making sure your Windows is current and updated.
  
• If updating these programs does not help, try to configure the software to allow access to the game. This is usually done through the Exceptions List. If adding the game, make sure to add the executable (.exe file) for both Hyperscape and Uplay
  
• Disable all background applications before running the game.
  

3. Enable UPnP

Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports. Due to the amount of different routers, we cannot provide exact steps and recommend you consult your routers manual or your ISP.



4. Port Forwarding

Port forwarding makes sure that the router's firewall does not interfere with the game's connection. For more information, please check out this FAQ. If you forward ports, please set up a static IP for your PC. Steps on how to do this can be found here.

The ports that are needed for Hyper Scape are:

TCP: 80, 443, 50000 - 52000
UDP: 3074, 30000 - 32000

5. Reset your host file

Resetting your host file rules out that an outdated configuration is the cause of your issue. The Hosts file is a text file created as part of your Windows OS. For steps on how to do this, please check out this FAQ.



6. Flush your DNS.

Your DNS cache stores the IP addresses of web servers and may have bad information. We recommend flushing your DNS cache to improve your connection. Instructions can be found here.



7. External restrictions

There may be restrictions set by your ISP or network administrator. Some examples of where this may be an issue include a university campus, a military base, or shared housing. If you believe this you are affected by this, please contact your ISP or network administrator.



If you are still experiencing connection issues after completing these steps, please create a ticket with a screenshot of your forwarded ports. Please do not post your ports on the forums for security purposes.

If you are having issues with your connection to Hyper Scape please try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Reset your network hardware
Resetting your network hardware allows it to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP. To do this:

• Shut down all computers/consoles connected to your modem and/or router.
• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug in and turn on the modem and/or router

This will power cycle your modem or router.

2. Power cycle your Xbox One
Power cycling your Xbox will do various things, including reset your hardware's network activity.

• Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds.

Note If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

3. Clear your Xbox's cache
Clearing the cache erases temporary files, which if they become corrupted, may lead to connectivity issues. To do this:

• Turn off the Xbox completely
• Unplug the Xbox for two minutes
• Turn the Xbox back on

Note: this will not clear any saves or installation.

4. Enable UPnP
Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports. Due to the amount of different routers, we cannot provide exact steps and recommend you consult your routers manual or your ISP.

5. Port Forwarding
Port forwarding makes sure that the router's firewall does not interfere with the game's connection. For more information, please check out this FAQ. If you forward ports, you will also want to set up a static IP for your Xbox One. Instructions on this can be found here.
The ports needed for Hyper Scape are:

TCP: 80, 443.
UDP: 3074, 6150, 10000-10099.

6. Place the console into the DMZ
Please follow the instructions on this FAQ. Please be aware that your Xbox will not be protected by your router's security measures in the DMZ. If you have concerns about the security of the network you are on, we recommend that you do not apply this troubleshooting step.

7. External restrictions
There may be restrictions set by your ISP or network administrator. Some examples of where this may be an issue include a university campus, a military base, or shared housing. If you believe this you are affected by this, please contact your ISP or network administrator.

If you are still experiencing connection issues after completing these steps, please create a ticket with a screenshot of your forwarded ports. Please do not post your ports on the forums for security purposes.

• Power down and unplug the modem and/or router.
• Wait 60 seconds.

• If updating these programs does not help, try to configure the software to allow access to the game. This is usually done through the Exceptions List. If adding the game, make sure to add the executable (.exe file) for both Hyperscape and Uplay
• Disable all background applications before running the game.

3. Enable UPnP
Some players have reported that enabling UPnP helped them to fix their issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and allows applications to automatically forward ports.

Cross-platform content sharing

When venturing through the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla across different platforms, you should keep in mind what content you can expect to be carried over.

Add-ons
Any additional content that you bought on your platforms storefront will not be accessible unless you own the content on all platforms you play on. For consoles with cross-generation entitlements you will be able to access content on the same console family.

If you own the Season Pass for Assassin's Creed Valhalla on PC you will not be able to access the Season Pass content with your save game on a different platform, unless you also own the Season Pass on that platform as well.

Any item that is dependent on the Season Pass will be removed from your inventory when you start playing on a different platform. Once you return to the platform where you own the Season Pass, they will be returned to your inventory.


Helix Credits
The hard currency of the game can only be used on the same platform that you bought them on. However you will be able to use the hard currency across the same console family.

If you buy Helix credits when playing on a PC, you will not be able to spend them on the in-game store on a different platform.

In-Game Store purchases
Content that was purchased in the in-game store with Helix credits will be accessible across different platforms. 

When you buy a cosmetic item in the in-game store with credits on the PC for example, you will be able to use the unlocked cosmetic item on any other platform that you start the game on.

In-game currency and items
Any items and in game currency that you find will be available for you to use when switching to a different platform as long as your latest save game was success transferred.

Cross-platform progression

Assassin's Creed Valhalla supports cross-progression, so you can carry your progress between different platforms!
When the game is saved automatically or if you create a manual save, it will upload the latest save game to the cloud storage*. This will overwrite the previous save file in cloud storage of the same type.

To make sure your progress is uploaded to cloud storage we recommend:
• Create a manual save before ending your session.
Wait a minute or two after the save animation has finished.
• Open the Main menu and choose Quit to Title Screen.
• Choose Load Game. 
• Check if the save you just created has a cloud icon next to the play time.

 
If the game is now started on a different platform it will try to load the most recent save from cloud storage, so you can start where you left off the last time. 

Please note that in order for this feature to work, you need to have your platform accounts linked to your Ubisoft account and your platform needs to be connected to the internet**.

In case of a degradation or outage of Ubisoft services, you can continue playing with your local save, but transfer to a different platform may only be possible once the issues have been resolved.

Feel free to get in touch if you have additional questions!

* Cloud storage is not meant to be used as a permanent backup solution for your save games.

** The synchronization of your cloud save and your local save may be affected by your upload and download speed. Triggering two consecutive saves too quickly will prevent the second one from uploading. Time allowance between saves: 5 minutes for manual saves, 10 minutes for quick saves and 15 minutes for autosaves. There is no time limit between episodic saves
