Hello guys,

Ever since The recent hotfix to fix the clash bug every game I have a bit of a weird problem with R6. Every other person in the game will stutter, or lag, when they move. This happens on every map across all gamemmodes, and while I have stable 100+ FPS, a ping around 10-30 ms and no symbols for connection problems blinking. It's nearly impossible for me playing the game like that. It's significantly harder to hit enemies, and on top of that, it's not really fun to play while every other person in the game just stutters around the map. To clarify: I can move/shoot smoothly myself, it's just everybody else (and their drones) that stutters - even though they aren't on their screens, I tried it with friends.

Does anybody else here know the problem and (that would be great) maybe knows how to fix this? Here's what I tried (and didn't work).

Restarting Game, PC and Router

Turning off my firewall

Shutting down every program except R6 and Uplay

Verifying Game Files via Uplay

Starting Uplay and R6 as admin

Setting graphics to minimum (even though I already had stable 60 FPS)

Setting R6's priority to "High" in the Task Manager

Uninstalling and reinstalling the game

So far, nothing has helped even remotely. Does anybody know anything I could try, or should I just wait or next season and hope the patch fixes it?

Hey BassBalloon,

Sorry to hear you have encountered trouble with performance.

As you appear to have gone over the basics, can you please upload your MSinfo and DXDiag to our support website, so we can take a closer look?

This has been happening in all Ubisoft games and not just rainbow six.
Hey, thanks for getting in touch!

One of the most common differences between those 2 wireless bands are their speed and range. 5Ghz is capable of being faster however it does not travel as far as 2.4Ghz.

With that in mind, are you perhaps quite far away from your router and it is struggling to get a stable connection with 5Ghz?

Try double checking your connection stability, as well as your internet speed if you experience any issues.

I hope that helps

Hello! This does not appear to be a bug, so we should be able to resolve it with some troubleshooting.

- Can you please list your PC specifications?
- What ping / latency do you and your teammates appear to have?
- Are you connected by Ethernet or WiFi?
- What is your current speed? Try checking with a service such as speedtest.net
- Do you face this issue in every match,or only some?

Thank you! We may need to keep asking more questions, so we can narrow it down further

Hello again,

I was able to find 2 of your threads relating to the same issue, so I have merged you together. I also deleted my post above, as it is no longer relevant.

Considering this now appears to affect multiple players, I don't believe it is a hard drive issue.

If anyone is able to, please try the following -

- Sign in to a friend or family member's Ubisoft account on your PC, and see if the issue occurs
- Sign in to your Ubisoft account on a friend or family member's PC, and see if the issue occurs

I understand not everyone will be able to try this, and you may not know someone who owns Rainbow Six Siege, but hopefully someone can. The logic behind these steps is to determine if this is a profile issue, or if it's something local to the PC itself.

Please also note what your current internet speed is like Muhcreedy.LLL has above, just in case that's related.

Thank you for your time!

Thank you for getting back to me.

This behaviour doesn't really reflect an account issue, but it's best to check. It is not an issue that affects every player however, so we'll then need to check what seems to be mutual.

Thanks for trying this!
