Gaming outages are uncommon, however, today’s Rainbow Six Siege servers have been affected for quite sometime.
Ubisoft first confirmed issues concerning Rainbow Six Siege on Xbox One an hour ago and have now revealed that extended maintenance will be needed to fix tonight’s problems.
“We have located the cause of the issue, and are working on correcting it,” a message from Ubisoft explains.
“It will require a maintenance to deploy the fix.
“Next update at 6:00pm EDT.” that means another hour or so before we learn more on when the game might be back up and running on all platforms.
There are reports that the maintenance period could last up to eight hours, however, it seems like the latest news will be provided soon.
Ubisoft have made Operation Health their main priority over adding new content to the game, although this has run into delays at the public testing stage.
2.2.1 is now scheduled to deploy on console on June 20th, but please keep in mind that this may change depending on how the PC deployment goes.
The next update, patch 2.2.2, will be focused on issues with Hibana, Smoke grenade replication, aiming consistency, Alpha Pack Deployment, and other long-persisting issues.
“There will be a redesign of the hitboxes for all operators. The new design will make it so the hitbox only includes what you would think of as the human body,” reads a development update.
“This means that baggy clothing, pouches, headgear, bags, accessories, etc. will not be included in the hitbox of all Operators. This change will impact present and future operators, and will allow for a full artistic freedom on character models and customization without a heavy impact on gameplay balancing.”
There’s also the chance that another 50% Bonus Renown Event will be activated to make up for the most recent outage.
