I decided to come back to this game after 3 weeks.Before this i have been playing this game just fine. I decided to reinstall this game from scratch today after i deleted it some weeks back. After running the game...the game seems to take forever on the screen " please wait while we connect you to the rainbow six siege servers". It just won't move beyond that point. I am not getting any error messages either. It just remains like that with the circular icon rotating on the bottom left.
I tried talking to my friends who play on the same servers and they don't seem to have a problem. They can connect just fine. Looks like its just me.

I tried disabling firewalls, anti-virus and also tried port forwarding. But getting the same problem everytime.The game is stuck at " "please wait while we connect you to the rainbow six siege servers".

Please help.

now the serious part...
i got this problem for several months now, it keeps happening every know and then, but whenever i encounter it, i cant play the game no matter what (restarting, updating, reinstalling - doesnt help).

I think its actually a impudence that this issue wasnt solved by now...
Its really sad ...

But keep your heads up folks, the gods may bless us with n update
