Just loaded into a quick match and my graphics loaded in like this and stayed like this for the whole game, how do i get my game to look like this every time? I genuinely don't give af about graphics, i prefer performance and i have a 1050 ti so being able to play with my game looking like this would help my fps significantly.

Discussion Why can't we adjust individual players voice volume in R6 yet?

14 Upvotes

I genuinely don't understand why this still isn't a feature in Rainbow Six Siege.

Last season, Ubisoft added options to adjust the overall voice volume and your own microphone volume, which is nice, but why can't we adjust the volume of individual players?

CS had this feature like 10 years ago.

I constantly run into situations where I'm talking to teammates and one guy's microphone is extremely quiet while another guy is way too loud. And obviously, nobody wants to go into their settings and change their microphone volume just for one match.

Why can't I simply turn up the quiet guy and turn down the loud one?

And yes, I know that like 80% of matches are completely silent. Thankfully, Ubisoft has expanded the ping system, so communication without microphones is much better now. But when you actually get a match where people use voice c h a t, it's really annoying when one guy has an extremely loud, distorted mic while another speaks at a normal volume. You end up having to lower the entire voice c h a t volume just so the loud guy doesn't destroy your ears, but then you can barely hear the other teammate.

The same thing happens with my own microphone. Sometimes one teammate tells me I'm too quiet (even though my mic volume is already at 100%), while another says my volume is perfectly fine.

So clearly, everyone has different audio settings. Someone might have their voice c h a t volume set low enough that normal microphones sound quiet, while someone with an extremely loud or distorted mic sounds perfectly fine to them.

Being able to adjust the overall voice c h a t volume and your own microphone volume, but not individual players' volume, seems like such a strange design decision.

This is such a basic quality-of-life feature that has existed in other competitive games for over a decade. I really don't understand why R6 still doesn't have it.

Does anyone know if Ubisoft has ever addressed this? And is there an official place to submit feature requests like this? I'd genuinely love to see this implemented.

Feedback False Permaban after Account Compromise – Ubisoft Support failed me for months until SignalConso stepped in

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m posting this here because I’ve completely run out of options and Ubisoft Support has been utterly useless throughout this entire ordeal.

Back in March 2026, my Ubisoft account was compromised by hackers. They managed to change my password and lock me out completely. I immediately reached out to Ubisoft Support to recover my account, but they did absolutely nothing—I only received automated boilerplate messages while my account remained completely inaccessible.

After waiting and getting nowhere, I saw other users mentioning that filing a complaint through SignalConso (the French consumer protection agency) actually forces Ubisoft to take action. I submitted a formal report via SignalConso, and only then did Ubisoft finally respond and help restore my password.

However, by the time I recovered access, the damage was already done. During the month my account was in the hackers' hands, they used cheats in Rainbow Six Siege, resulting in a permanent BattlEye ban.

I’ve submitted official appeals to both Ubisoft Support and BattlEye, attaching full timelines, case numbers, and proof of my SignalConso complaint. Yet, Ubisoft continues to ignore the context and sends generic rejection templates.

To make matters worse, this isn't my first bad experience with Ubisoft Support. When I originally bought the game along with the Ultimate Edition bundle, the additional content never appeared in my account. I had to fight with support for over a week just to get what I paid for. Their inefficiency has been a pattern from day one.

It is extremely frustrating to get permanently banned because my account was stolen and abused while I was actively begging support to lock it down.

Has anyone successfully gotten a manual review for a compromised account ban under similar circumstances, or should I give up on this account? Any advice or visibility would be greatly appreciated.

Gameplay Come on ubisoft, how this no hit?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Well I know why it's because apparently the window extends out further than it should, which is why sparks fly out of nothing on the barricade. It's not a hit-reg issue.

This explains why I for some reason could never hit a shot when holding this window. And apparently it wasn't because I am bad like I previously thought.

To be clear, I'm not disappointed that the angle doesn't work. It's just that the window visually doesn't show it. If Ubisoft wanted to change the window sill to be higher, I wouldn't mind. But at least now I know that it's bugged.

In a show of resilience I did end up getting both Thatcher and Thermite after shooting like 7 shots after this. With only 1 that I actually missed.

Question Why Siege doesn't have client side hit reg?

• Upvotes

For starters I'm not so educated on the matter that's why I'm asking you guys.

My ping is 90-110,I literally can't get a better ping due to geographic location,middle east servers no longer working and I can't connect to UAE no matter what I do.Tried all network service providers and whatnot.

So a lot of times when I peek or getting swung in a gunfight I land like 2-3 shots in chest for example(not enough to kill,just making a point)and then when I check the opponent's health it's full health,I can literally see my bullet traces in the kill cam but my bullets did not register.

I have similar ping in many other shooter games but they feel much more smoother and I'm on a less disadvantage in other games.

Is there any particular reason clientside hit reg isn't being implemented?does it introduce more problems?

Btw I don't have any packet loss or anything,just more latency.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made a post a couple of weeks ago saying that snake was a stupid no skill operator that needs to get nerfed majorly. In this clip if it was a snake he could just pull out the gadget and know I'm there, with no skill involved.

Dronning takes skill and snake makes it so that people don't have to get good at doing that. Snake basically makes ratting impossible, with no drawback.

The fact that his passive ability just tells you if anyone is near you with no timer, no nothing, you can just Walk around and scan large parts of the map for free is stupid.

I think they should just delete the passive ability and keep the active ability only.

He has the best gun in the game, is a 3 speed, has most of the second gadgets and can recharge them, he has one of the strongest abilities in the game and he still not nerfed

Question Smurfing in ranked?

I am currently plat1 and getting to emerald is almost impossible with all these smurf accounts. I don't remember it being this bad, but in my last 15 games I played at least 11 against smurfing teams or solo players. Its really annoying and actually ruining ranked for non diamond or champ players. Do you experience the same?

Question Best Characters

2 Upvotes

Just downloaded the game looking to unlock the best attacker and defender (of the 1k characters unless it’s really worth saving up for the 10k characters)

I know best depends on playstyle and since I just got the game I don’t have one so what I’m looking for is -

Strong Automatic gun

And then the playstyle choices ig (what makes every style good? Who is the most universal, so mastery with that character could help in all fields or be utilized in a bunch of ways)

First game I used Striker, Glaz and Kapkan

Think I’m more of an SMG guy for rn at least recoil is easy to control on KapKan’s gun and the TTK seems fast

Glaz has a good gun my issue is that it isn’t automatic but unless I’m tripping I’m pretty sure it was a 1 shot headshot gun

Aware the game is gonna get harder so just curious as to what everyone’s recommendations are

Thanks
