Update 3 [ September 01, 2023 ]
Rainbow Six Siege Players Express Frustration Over Server Issues
Rainbow Six Siege players are voicing their frustration over ongoing server issues that have marred their gaming experience. Users have taken to both Twitter and downdetector.com to express their grievances and demand prompt action from Ubisoft.
Tevin Dunlap, a player fed up with server-related problems, vented on Twitter, stating, “Iβm about to uninstall this game. Your servers are trash and I get penalized for losing server connection during a match and taking 10 minutes to just load into the main menu.” Such experiences not only disrupt gameplay but also lead to penalties, unfairly affecting player rankings.
Another gamer, disappointed with the frequency of error codes, criticized Ubisoft, saying, “Every time I queue for a match I get a different error code. Fix your servers, it’s been a week.” The issue has not spared Xbox Series S users, who have also reported varying error codes when attempting to queue for matches.
Players are highlighting these issues through social media as well, with @AtomicWRLDD sarcastically urging Ubisoft to “fix the problem and then talk about charms,” referring to the need for stable gameplay before focusing on cosmetic updates.
Guess what time it is? β° Time for time for you to fix your video game Rainbow Six Siege! Weβve been waiting for the game to fully function since the release of Y8S3, fix the problem and then talk about charms! π·
β Atomic (@AtomicWRLDD) September 1, 2023
