Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Never thought I'd ever say this but I think this game is about to knock BF4 and COD 4 off the top perch on my list of favourite shooters ever. To be fair, I played COD 4 for a full two years as well as BF4, so we'll see where this game is two years from now. But even in it's current state, its a huge leap up for shooters.

I've been playing alot of Ranked lately, and either playing solo or with one or two friends max, and been fortunate to meet some really awesome people. Win or lose, its been incredible.

I expected this game to be a one or two month diversion, hoping it could take me to The Division release date. Well, how things change in a short time. The Division was a massive disappointment and I play this game for many hours a day and can't get enough.

If my experience the other night is a sign of how it's going to be from now on, this game will definitely rival any shooter I've ever played. It was so smooth like a AAA game should be at release.

I don't know why, but for some reason I love the way these bodies fell.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Who's your favorite new operator? Buck or Frost? I unlocked Buck first because I think his ability is more useful than Frost's and I like his guns better. I'm curious what y'all think.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Tonight's experience is the exact opposite of the other night. Hit detection is whack. I headshotted some guy 5 times and he had 3/4 health. No match finishes 5v5 due to disconnects. Usually is 3v3.

Matchmaking is quick though. And I'm not seeing invisible lasers anymore. That's the only positives tonight.

I did see a new glitch tonight though. I put my thermite down on a floor/ceiling breach and did it. I cam back to the room and it was still rendering the breach as closed and reinforced and I walked on top of it. I stayed on the upper level on my screen. A few seconds late I was dead because I was walking around the basement on everyone else's screen and not running around the upper level.

Imo Frost by a long shot. Her shotgun is ridiculous and once you get good with her traps she is a one women wrecking crew. I snag at least one person on average per round. I then listen for someone to come help up their down teammate and mow both down with her shotgun.

I was the last one left but pulled it out. The enemy got impatient. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V5GtrMQ_V8c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I'm not sure why, but I've practiced more patience with this game than any other in recent memory. And by that I mean with the bugs, netcode, etc. When this game is on, it is really on. When issues pop up, it's frustrating of course but I just keep looking to the brighter side that this is an amazing shooter and will hopefully only get better with continuing patches and support from Ubisoft and the networking team.

With patch 2.1 dropping today, I'm really hoping a lot of the fixes stick and we start to see better games on the consoles.

In-Depth Patch Notes - Update 1.3 - January 13th (PC) & January 21st (Consoles)

Today we are sharing our third update. This one is smaller because we felt we needed to quickly fix some issues. The changes described below will take effect on January 13th for PC and on January 21st for consoles, except the server tick rate improvement, the anti-cheating and banning policy improvements as well as the out-of-zone insta-kill option which is effective for all immediately (read below for details). This patch will be released on PC first because of the faster deployment process, in order to test the impact the fixes have and adjust if needed. Note that tomorrow, January 13th, Patch 1.2 takes effect on consoles. A much bigger patch, Patch 2.0, will be released at the same time as Season 1, on February 2nd. This update will be made available on PC and consoles at the same time.

Please refer to our post about our top priorities and known issues to see our current plans and steps we are taking to improve the game as we move forwards. Note that this update, Patch 1.3, will not fix all of our current top issues and that we are actively working on fixing them as soon as possible.

GENERAL TWEAKS & IMPROVEMENTS
(Live for PC and consoles, as of Jan. 13th)

HIT REGISTRATION IMPROVEMENTS
Updated the server tick rate for console users
With the goal of improving positioning and shooting replication, we had deployed a first update on PC in which the player position update rate is set to 60 times per second (vs. the previous 30). After testing, we are satisfied with its state so we are now deploying this update to all consoles as well.

ANTI-CHEATING IMPROVEMENTS
Cheating countermeasures have been improved further.
Banning policy update: all cheaters detected by the system will be banned permanently. No more three day ban for first offense.

EXPLOIT FIX: DEFENDERS EXITING THE PREPARATION PHASE
Added a configuration that allows us to turn ON an insta-kill configuration for Defenders that go outside their zone during the preparation phase (this behavior should not be possible, but if exploits are found, the guilty shall be punished by a swift death!)
We will be able to activate this functionality at any time. We will first be testing it on XB1 during the afternoon of January 13th (Montreal time). If it proves effective, we will be deploying this on all platforms later that day.

TOP COMMUNITY-RAISED BUG FIXES
(Live for PC on Jan. 13th, live for consoles on Jan. 21st)
Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list and that we are only highlighting fixes that were done about the most commonly raised community bugs.

LEVEL DESIGN FIXES

Fixed a bug that allowed players to exit their zone during the preparation phase (red wall). When transitioning from proning to standing position combined with putting up a barricade, players were able to go through walls. We believe this exploit is now solved. Please share your experience in this forum thread if you still encounter it after the patch (information we are looking for listed in opening post).

ONLINE FIXES
Partial fix of Error [2-0x00000041]. Refer to the High Priority Issues in the Known Issues post for more information.
Potential full fix of the loading screen freeze (smoke background). Refer to the High Priority Issues in the Known Issues post for full information.
Potential full fix of the failed data synchronization issue. Refer to the High Priority Issues in the Known Issues post for full information.
Session authentication operation requests are now using the per data center proxy instead of the Dev one.
Improved error tracking, for easier issue identification from our side.
Ranked match reconnection fixes for PC:
If game was closed by pressing [x] or ALT+F4, the players will not be leaving all sessions anymore.
Players leaving a Ranked match by pressing F10 will now be receiving reconnect & abandon messages.
Players leaving a Ranked match by quitting with ALT+F4 will now be receiving reconnect & abandon messages.
Various smaller connectivity and crash fixes.
