We are in the process of deploying to PS4 now. PC and XB1 are complete.

The Deployable Shield and Claymore change has not been deployed yet. It will be done today.

"Mounted LMG (Tachanka; regardless of who’s using the turret)" so does that mean that if someone teamkills with my turret I get penalized, that sounds easly abusable.

Edit: Also if I die and an attacker memes on me and kills a teammate with my turret am I still the one getting penalized? Also, if RFF is on for me already and an attacker kills a teammate with my turret and I am still alive somewhere, do I die for that too?

The player using Tachanka's Mounted LMG will receive the damage.

Elite skin confirmed

Fuck, I was hoping this would be the patch to bring the hammer down on the crouch/lean spam degenerates

We have already introduced a tweak for lean spamming.

Crouch changes that are currently present on the test server will be in 1.2. Thanks for flagging it!

Challenges will be going live in ~1 hour.

By reloading, do you mean restarting the game?

The APIs exist to detect a mouse and keyboard plugging directly into the console. In Rainbow Six, this is disabled.

There is not an API that our team, or any other development team, has been made aware of to detect third party adapters such as the XIM Adapter. These emulate controller inputs, and are regularly updated by their manufacturers to circumvent detection methods. As such, they are not detectable.

For those of you who are impacted by the flickering and graphical corruption issues using AMD VEGA Graphics Cards, a fix is is now available!

Please download the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.3.3 update.

You can find the 19.3.3 fix notes on the AMD website here.

Can someone explain this to me?

We want to increase the amount of skill required to place his Asphyxiating Bolts, but also reduce the effectiveness of certain exploits that allowed Attackers to spawn kill Defenders.

Was there like some crazy line of sight from a spawn directly into an OBJ that consistently got "free" kills? Or is it directly refering to cheeky hacks?

Yup. The videos were crazy.

Also, I hate to be that fan that will ask a question that most likely can't be answered so I guess I'll ask it in a vague manner:

(I've been a Buck and Caveira main since their releases and almost solely play only those operators) Does the future of Siege hold anything for Buck/Cav for them either in terms of gameplay changes or their stories to be told (ex: Hammer and Scalpel, because I did notice on the board Harry stands in front of, Caveira has been designated as one of the 3 Team Leaders of the Defenders along with Doc and Castle)

I guess time will tell!

yes that was in this invitational , EPI moved on from community manager to something else some time ago, just not sure where he went.

Community Developer. Still on Rainbow Six though!

In the Hotbreach podcast (skip to 47 minutes, that’s when they talk about the servers) a couple of days ago, when epi was asked about the servers that Ubisoft talked about in 2018, his response was something along the lines of they were waiting on Microsoft’s go ahead on the server being available, not only that but he said that the server must be stable enough in order for Ubisoft to use them.

So even with the server being live I still suspect that it will be a while before we actually see it in use with Rainbow 6

I guess it would depend on how you define "a while", but there is additional infrastructure required to prepare Azure for managing a game like Rainbow Six, beyond the standard Azure capabilities.

With this in mind, while there may be Azure servers live right now in South Africa, it does not mean that everything is ready for a Rainbow Six data center.

It is something we are still very much planning on doing, and are eagerly looking forward to providing an improved game play experience in South Africa.

WEIRD.

My Platoon Sergeant always said I was the fastest fat kid he'd ever seen.

Size doesn't equal speed!

Hey all,

Thanks for bringing this to light! We have just confirmed that we will touch up the makeup for her new face. ~We don't have an ETA yet, but it is unlikely to be corrected this Season.~ We hope to have a timeline in the coming days for when you can look forward to it being adjusted.

Update

I have just confirmed that this will be fixed in a PC update, with a deployment target of next week, and Y4S1.1 for Consoles.

Did you hit any specific buttons in that position that caused that?

Any ETA on the server and ping issues?

Looks like early next week!
