Rainbow Six Siege Dev Tracker

Hey everyone,

Posting the patch notes here as well if you'd like to discuss any changes happening with the upcoming patch/season.

Operation Phantom Sight Patch Notes.

Hey everyone,

Just posting here as well to let everyone know we are aware of the current bugs with Clash, Deployable shields and IQ. These are being investigated and worked on currently.

We'll update further on this Reddit thread and on ... Read more

However, I'm confused. If you TK me 4 times, and I forgive you..then you won't be accountable for bans or RFF? But If you were sanctioned after your 1st TK then how do you TK me 3 more times during your RFF sanction? Would this be via the unintentional explosives RFF action?

If you keep forgiving someone because you feel it was an accident, that player won't be banned and RFF will not be activated.

If you say the first TK was on purpose, the next time I attempt to TK you I will receive the damage.

Also your feedback is great, by the time Year 4 Season 2 update rolls around when we make further changes from the community feedback and data gathered I'll be able to give you more answers then.

You'll feel a bit dead if they that it was intentional.

good job UBI.

Well all I can say is when this goes live later on today, give it a go and tell us how you feel afterwards.

Hey!

So the bans for TK'ing is still there in the background, if you inflict enough team damage you'll get the correct ban (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours, 7 days) applied to your account if the validation has been confirmed as an intentional team kill. The only difference is, you still get the death once RFF has been confirmed.

If I TK you 4-5 times over the whole match, but you see they were all accidental and y... Read more

Hey everyone,

Just going to post here as well so anyone can reply and discuss on this thread.


RFF Announcement included again below;

Spoiler:  Show Hello Everyone!

Reverse Friendly Fire (RFF) is coming to the live servers tomorrow (this now being today). When a player abuses the friendly fire mechanic to grief their teammates, this system is activated. We believe that this first version will be a positive step forward in our fight against team killing while maintaining the same intensity and high stakes gameplay that is core to the Rainbow Six Siege experience.

The Y4S1 release of RFF is not our final version of the system. Future iterations and improvements will continue based off data and player feedback.

Community feedback so far has been invaluable and allowed us to make early iterations to the system. For example, RFF can now activate based on total friendly... Read more

Community feedback so far has been invaluable and allowed us to make early iterations to the system. For example, RFF can now activate based on total friendly damage. In these cases, there is no validation screen for the offending player’s teammates. We are also striving to make it clearer how operators and gadgets will react to this system. We have consolidated some guidelines be... Read more

You'll need to contact support. regarding the ban on your account.

Hello ZarrDy

As previously mentioned the MMR rollback is only changing MMR where a cheater has been banned from that match, meaning all exchanging of MMR points has been made invalid.

Looking into your account, I can see you've lost MMR from rollbacks, but you've also gained some as well from losing a match against someone who has been banned for cheating, so you are getting the best of both worlds here.

Just to confirm, any MMR taken from your account will not be changed, we cannot manually edit this.

Hey there,

Your 15 day ban is not for your avatar, it would of been because of your recent behaviour in game(if its stating toxic behaviour ban on your main menu) , the two just happened to occur at the same time

Ubisoft Club does not allow political figures for avatars and this would of been removed because of that, You're not fully banned from the avatar upload system however if another avatar is removed you may lose the ability to upload your own choice of imgage.

As a part of our ongoing efforts to identify and tackle game issues as fast and efficiently as possible, we introduced R6Fix last year. Since then, we have received over 7,000 bug reports.

Today, we are excited to introduce our brand new Bug Hunter Program, an initiative that has been designed to reward all those dedicated players that help us to improve the game�s health with every new update.

HOW IT WORKS
It�s simple, all you have to do is report any issue you might encounter on the Test Server through R6Fix. You can find a detailed guide on how to report issues here as well as an FAQ. Once we receive your report, our QA team will test it and try to reproduce it, if they succeed, your contribution will be marked as Acknowledged.

All issues need to be in English, clearly stated and with visual evidence, either a screenshot or a video that clearly shows the problem. Only the first person to report the acknowledged bug will receive credit to... Read more

The Test Server is only available on PC.

So how am I supposed to prevent it from happening again if i don't know what caused the ban in the firstplace? Also I have seen countless photos of other politicians such as Bernie Sanders, Obama, etc and they haven't got their photo taken down. I have had this photo since November 2017 and it's only an issue as I get ban? That leads me to believe they are connected .It kinda seams that Ubi soft is really pushing an agenda...

There won't be a change in the answer.

in UBISOFT's view is also stated. Please refrain from using Political figures in your avatars going forward if you're still able to choose one, thank you.

Hey Roan.Stuart,

This is a good question to which I don't know the answer of right now, give me a little bit of time and I'll get this asked to the correct people and I'll let you know as soon as I know!

Please have a read through my post here; ... Read more

Going to leave warning here to keep this discussion on track please. It's an interesting topic to discuss and some are trying to talk about it.


Any further posts that are clearly provoking or unneeded aggression will be removed.

In a way, yeah!

What Epi used to be anyway when he was a community manager / Rep, but he's the big Community Developer now.

Hey everyone!

Thought I might as well put my bit in here, would make sense.


The recent leaving of Zoro was for their own choice, wanting to pursue another path after being with Ubisoft for quite some time.

I do however agree that the forums have been slightly under moderated recently and believe it or not, I have been here observing to see what's going on, seeing who's who and how people act. I understand you all know each other, know how certain people are e.t.c. where as I do not and I don't want to come in here, all guns blazing and demanding straight away.

I've been with Ubisoft for quite sometime and worked along side Siege for even longer, but I'm only just joining the community team for R6S two weeks ago and I'm currently in the middle of transitioning from my current position, into the Community Representative one so my time is very limited on what I can do at the moment.

As of Monday the 29th April I'll be m... Read more
