Original Post — Direct link

Whenever I try to start Rainbow six siege from steam the game says "there was a problem authenticating the ownership of this product." And it has been saying that since 2018. Idk what to do. I´ve only played it when I got it on the day. The next day it was saying that. And since that, I´ve been trying to fix it but I can´t.

Hey @EricFromFasty, thank you for posting.

The authentication error is working as intended, and is therefore not a defect.
The error appears when the ownership of the product cannot be authentified.

If you are not logged into the Ubisoft account where the game has been bought from, you won't be able to launch the game.
Since the game is available on multiple platform, the signed-in accounts must match the accounts the game has been bought with.

If this error persists, it means that you are not connected to the rights accounts. Can be the Steam one, or the Ubisoft one. To get help regarding this issue, please contact us directly so we can have a look through your account and investigate further for yourself.
