Game crashes while connecting to server
My game boots up fine up to the main menu, where it tells you to press any key. I can wait there for as long as I want, but once I press a key, my game crashes in the next 5-10 seconds.

I've tried reinstalling the game, and also renaming the file, deleting content, and installing it again. I was trying to fix it for like 5 hours now. PLEASE HELP!

Hello Elooke! I'm extremely sorry to hear that Rainbow Six Siege is crashing for you. Thank you for letting me know everything you have tried on your own thus far to get this resolved! Moving forward, please ensure that your graphics card drivers are completely updated. These updates often come out monthly and while they can be easily overlooked, they can make quite the difference in-game! It would also be good to check if Windows has any updates waiting to be installed. Then, try running the game as an administrator. Granting the game admin rights will allow it access to all system permissions, which can actually help when a program is not operating as it should. Afterward, please make sure that your background applications are disabled. Having certain programs running in the background can sometimes interfere with how a game runs, so disabling these programs altogether would be a good measure to complete. Finally, you can complete the rest of our technical troubleshooting guide!

You are more than welcome to let me know how these steps worked out for you, or you can always reach out to our team at support.ubi.com for more specialized assistance. They would be happy to help!
