The team of the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege released a hotfix against cheaters on May 21. They have found a really annoying method to cheat. They can kick opposing players from a match. Even though this is just a hotfix, it earns the team praise from the toughest critic. Pro Pengu had previously harshly criticized the team.
This is the announcement from Ubisoft: On May 21, the team from Rainbow Six Siege announced on Twitter that they are currently investigating a cheat that causes players to be kicked from matches. They have released a hotfix to reduce the problem in certain cases and will continue to work on it.
So they have initially put a band-aid on the wound, which they want to treat better later.
What is the problem? According to a Twitter post, the cheat apparently causes players to be thrown out of the game mid-match.
The game freezes and hangs. Players cannot even return to the lobby and have to restart Rainbow Six Siege.
This counts as if the player intentionally left the match.
Just a month ago, the team announced that they would take action against players who freeze lobbies.
Pro player criticizes harshly, now praises better communication
This is the background: Currently, the atmosphere at Rainbow Six Siege is somewhat tense. The Danish pro player Pengu, who is currently playing in the GSA League for the team G2 Esports, published a two-hour video in which he criticized Ubisoft and Rainbow Six Siege. The video “Everything Wrong with Rainbow Six Siege” has now over 400,000 views. (via youtube)
In the 2-hour video, he addressed among other things:
- the many problems with cheaters in ranked play
- issues with the engine and client-side bugs. For example, players can shoot through walls
- difficulties with lighting conditions in the game, forcing pros to turn the brightness up
- balance issues
However, Pengu now defends Ubisoft for the action with the hotfix after a Twitter user criticized that this is just the “absolute minimum.”
Pengu says: “In the past, Ubisoft had the tendency to not even acknowledge such problems. We should now celebrate and show our appreciation for addressing the issues. “
Rainbow Six Siege is considered a very realistic shooter. For the streaming star shroud, who is regarded as a shooter expert, the game is even too realistic in two aspects. This limits his enjoyment of the game.
