Hey everyone. We have monitored an increase in the amount of DDoS and DoS attacks against our servers following the release of Operation Ember Rise. In this article, you will find our next steps for how we plan to address the situation. You can read more here; DDOS, DOS & Our Next Steps.

The BETA of R6S won't be making a return.

The only reason I can think of why the bans are only 15 days is because Ubisoft believes that players who are 'boosted by cheating' are in some ways victims of the cheats

This definitely isn't the case I can assure you, otherwise we wouldn't be banning them. If they carry on and do it again on the same account, we'll know about it and act on it.

Hey there,

Why are people only banned for 15 days when they have played with a cheat in a large number of matches?

15 days is the highest length of temporary ban we issue, we skip all previous time lengths and go straight to 15 days. We keep track of who has been previously banned for "being boosted by a cheater" and if the same behaviour continues on that account, we can ban permently.

Why are cheats allowed to cheat for a large number of matches?

The battle against the people who create new cheating software is never going to be over, for any game this will be a 24/7 fight. When a new cheat is created, BattlEye has to have time to investigate what that user is doing, how they are doing it and what is different from the cheaters profile compared to legitimate players. So for a visual example; Player A is cheating using ABC Cheats and have been playing for 1 week, The BattlEye client has to monitor that profile and then ban ... Read more

Hey Imeem. Can you go though this FAQ to see if that fixes the issue? https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/faqs/0...ting-Software/

Locking this thread as nothing further can be done from the forums. If you want to discuss the ban further, you'll need to contact the Support Team.

Hi there, The ban for 'Being Boosted By A Cheater' will not be applied for 1 match played in a pre-made squad. This would of been a large number of pre-made squads that were played with someone who has been banned for cheating in-game. A result of this ban is a rank, seasonal stat reset and you won't recieve the rank charm for that season. This current sanction will have been from late last season and only applied at the start of Ember Rise when the Boosted ban wave went out. Read more

I personally love it. Kanal was one of my favourite maps before the rework and it's looking like it'll stay as one of my favourites now after a couple weeks playing it. Also I cannot stress enough that as some people keep saying "only pros are listened to" are not correct. If only pro players were listened to the game would be vastly different, feedback is taken from everywhere all over the community, as well as the balancing teams own direction they want the game in.

we, or i will not give up on it until someone with a voice comes to tell yes or no forever.

We don't have any updates to give for this thread at the moment, no. This isn't a forever no, but just at the moment there's nothing further to share. Read more

Hello, Your account was banned correctly for 'Being Boosted by a Cheater'. You have been queuing with someone in a pre-made squad X amount of times who has been banned for cheating, this ban cannot be removed and will expire after 15 days from the date of issue.

2. Another bug I've encountered is another audio bug where I could constantly hear the sound of a mute jammer during my entire ranked game
the bug continued all game and also required a game restart to fix.

3. The final bug I have encountered since the new patch is a visual glitch where my game has not loaded me into the map Favela and instead of seeing the map normally
my camera is fixed to outside the map but this is fixed simply by returning to the man menu.

I hope this message is useful towards improving siege even further than it already is.

The Top Issues blog is universal issues, not platform specific unless stated in the description/title of the issue. No target date as I would assume they don't know the exact cause of the sound issues mentioned in the Top Issues blog yet, the devs working on that issue can't say when it will be fixed until they identify that, then they can perhaps estimate a resolved date.

It's not in the Patch Notes as there isn't an update for it at the moment. However, Sound bugs is the very first thing mentioned in the Top Issues blog. I understand the Status is a little vague, but to say "The issue blog doesnt mention it at all" is definitely not correct.

Hey everyone, As of the 2.2 patch deployment to consoles yesterday morning (16th July), the previous Clash, Claymore, Deployable Shield and IQ exploits should now be fully resolved across all platforms. This had been trialed on the Live Build for PC for 1 week and no further reports for PC were brought up since that 2.2 PC deployment. We'll have a blog up soon in the next few days explaining into more detail about the issue behind these exploits and what was done to fix this as well, I'll post this as soon as it's gone live. 2.2 Patch notes can be read here.
As usual, if you come across any instances of a possible regression, please report it to us at r6fix.ubi.com. Read more
