[2020] Rainbow six siege fps drop issue when update rate icon flashes red

Hello sandymayank8636,

Thank you for reporting this to us.

Are you on Windows 10? If so please try heading to the .exe file in your Steam directory, right click it, select Properties, Compatibility and select to 'Disable fullscreen optimizations'.

Thank you

Hello KR4UTS_EMME,

What CPU and GPU are you using?

Thank you

Hey guys, also please make sure that Shading Quality is set to Medium or lower.

Thanks, make sure nothing is interfering with the connection to the servers by trying these steps. Also, make sure your drivers are up to date. If that isn't the case for you, please create a ticket with your MSINFO/DXDIAG and a screenshot of your forwarded ports.

Hi FP_CrisGhost! Please follow these PC steps. If you continue to have issues, please submit your MSINFO files for further assistance.

It's difficult to troubleshoot issues like this, but I'll do my best to help! What sort of FPS drop are you seeing? Consider setting up the FPS limiter in the .ini files. Our game will try to use available resources, and when something else starts taking resources you may see a drop if you're playing with no limiter.

Hello!

The Update Rate icon appears when your FPS is unstable, and not enough packets are being sent back to the server.

Can you please answer the following -

- How long have you been facing this issue?
- What FPS are you getting in-game? You can enable the FPS counter in Uplay's settings
- How often do you face this issue?
- How often does your FPS drop very low?

We should be able to resolve this issue by helping you maintain a steady FPS and connection to our servers.

All the best!

Hey raswus9!

I can see you also mentioned this in another thread here, and I replied to you earlier today.

If it's OK with you, we can continue the rest of the conversation there

I would say that's more of an expected outcome. When changing between applications your GPU likely won't be focusing on the game as much, and your FPS will surely reduce.

All the best

Hey there,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with fluctuating fps.

Can I just check whether you play full screen and what API you use?

Many thanks
