Re: Rainbow Six Siege

So what system are people on? I am thinking of picking this up after Christmas but don't really want to run with randoms. But would definitely run with people on here. If I do get it, it would be on X1.

Xb1, and have played with plenty of people on Xb1.

I will say, even when i run ranked games with randoms, most people do talk, way more than any other game I've played recently, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Yeah played this last night and was surprised how many people had their mics on in the casual playlist. Other games most people are in their own party

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Played several rounds on PC and never had any issues. I also didn't really see any improvement to hit detection either. I need to play more before I decide how good this patch was.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Downloaded the patch and couldn't even get in a Casual Terrorist Hunt last night.. Sat in matchmaking for 3-4 minutes a few separate times, but bailed as I figured something was up. Glad to hear things got a little better later into the night. I had no issues getting into games quickly pre-patch..

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Matchmaking is the most suspect aspect of this game for me. I haven't had any lag problems or anything like that when I'm actually in a game.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

No problems for me last night. I was paired with a group of randoms and we all had mics and worked together to whoop some serious ***. None of us had any lag or rubber banding issues the whole time we played.


I had zero expectations for this game and it is becoming one of my favorites.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I'm not trying to gloss over any issues this game has. They are known. Hit detection and kill cam issues are still prevalent. However, since the patch, it's taken me less than a minute to get into a Casual games, whether with friends or without. And a minute or two to get into Ranked games. No drops either. It's been great.

But I don't deny that people are having issues as one of the 6 or 7 friends I play with has a hard time staying in games. For the most part, a solid patch.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

This Thursday night football game may go start to finish before I'm put into a ranked match.

Woo, get into a game and everyone is rubber banding around. I'm so glad the servers got worse. I emptied a magazine into a guy and the kill cam shows me never shooting. How can it be that desynced?

Never had server issues until the patch. Hit detection was all I ever had issues with. Now it takes 10 minutes to get into these lagfests.

I think the matchmaking is working as intended, I was just reading it wrong. When it says the estimated wait time is 1:32 it means 1 hour and 32 minutes. I was mistakenly reading it as 1 minute and 32 seconds.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Canes, not to over simplify the matter and I don't mean any offence here either, but when you hit the Start/Options button in the menu, what server does it say you're connected to and what's your NAT type? I know pre-patch there was a bunch of times where I got connected to the Western US servers even though I'm in Toronto.

In my case, one of the guys I play with is in Edmonton and when he was one of the first to join the squad, our whole squad would play on the west coast servers. We started inviting him last and the game ended up putting us into servers alot closer to us, which helped out a ton.

And the only reason I ask about the NAT type is because almost every single game I play it tells me my NAT type is open but then one of the CODs one year listed me as Moderate for some reason which made things really difficult to link up with friends and get into games. Even alone I would have trouble.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

US East and Open. Only 32 ping. Servers are still trash. It's not getting any smoother like last night. Easily the worst it's been since release.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Fair enough. It's all I had haha. Sucks my friend. It fixed alot of issues for me. Fwiw I used to be connected to servers all over the place with ping ranging anywhere from the 50's to as high as the low 100's. Post-patch I'm always in the Central US servers with ping in the 40's.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Mine has stayed the same as it was. East US, low 30''s on average. The actual performance is just terrible tonight and was bad at the start of last night too. It's annoying because the game played great prepatch. Now I almost don't even want to have anything to do with it because I haven't had this much trouble in online gaming in a very long time. Bad Company 2's launch is what I'm talking about.

Our estimated wait time right now is 7 minutes..... good lord.

Rainbow Six Siege

Had a few games with 4 buddies and the matchmaking is still very hit and miss. Once we got down to 3 of us, we were firing off matches left and right. No noticeable issues with lag or desync from what we could tell. They really need to rework the map rotation though, holy cow.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

7 minutes is crazy....the longest I've seen post patch is 58 seconds. I'd love to hear from Ubisoft why the wide variance exists.

I played the alpha on the Xbox One and the beta on the PS4 and both were horrible for matchmaking. When it released and half worked I was genuinely shocked. They said they're going to release a patch a month until it's fixed but I really hope they do something for the guys like yourself who are having issues well before January.
