Network conditions are fluctuating

[L3]

Very strange, but I keep getting kicked out of the game when I kill a player (or players). A couple of minutes pass, and I get an error saying I have an unstable connection. The last time this happened, I even got banned for an hour. I play without cheats, and my internet is good—I've never had issues like this in any other game.

It feels like I’m being blocked after getting reported. For example, if a player didn’t like how I killed them, they choose certain report options, and I get kicked from the lobby with no chance to reconnect.

I heard from a streamer who mentioned that, yes, this kind of thing can happen with reports.

I’ve written to support twice, but they just tell me not to use third-party software. I play through Steam, and I have Discord running—that’s all I use.

The most frustrating part is that I’ve already lost loot worth 5 million in total because of this nonsense.

same....

try this and told me... Im gonna reinstall the anticheats to test it.

"ACE Errors / 1-0-0: Press Windows+R -> type services.msc -> look for "AntiCheatExpert Service" and check the startup type. If it is set to "Disabled," change it to "Manual" and try starting the game."

"Go into: File Explorer - This PC - OS:(C) - Program Files - AntiCheatExpert Run the uninsaller and then start the game again. The anti cheat will re instal itself when you launch the game."

Same since game gone live, sometimes i can play couple games, sometimes its 10-15min and i will get kicked. My internet have no problems all other games works perfectly its anticheat for sure, also a illegal kernel btw.
I dony nearly everything that they suggested and a lot more with reinstalls, router restarts, reinstalling anticheat etc nothing helps till today.

Game was working perfectly before on open beta.

Started happening to me today too

[Jacky]

It just happen to me too. I did not use any cheating software at all. I got temporarily banned. Before this happen I encounter "Network conditions are fluctuating. Please check your network environment or restrictions set by your antivirus software." I exit the game and relaunched it, and got banned.
I can play every other games without any problem, but this game cannot. I have good internet and played with Steam.
I grinded so hard and spent so much time to unlock everything I want and now I got banned without any wrongdoing.

I use VPN bro to handle this, use VPN Warp 1.1.1.1

Estou com o mesmo problema, pela segunda vez do dia 7-1-2025 que perco todos os meus itens por causa dessa desconecção, frustante assim...

QoS can vary from day to day from week to week, you cannot say you have good internet because on any given day QoS could be out of whack.

the best you can do is check the metrics yourself and see if its something ISP related, internet routing related or something on their services side.

the "I pay good money for good internet is like saying I have no idea what good internet really is because I have never actually checked any metric to verify my connection quality and I just go by what the ISP tells me"

if you don't know how to do any of this, you could try pinging your gateway

open a command prompt, type ipconfig

get the gateway IP and then type ping insert_the_IP_here -t

it will continue to ping and check the first hop which would be before it ever leaves your house and represents the PC to the router

you can then do a ping to a server like google.com or another website that you know is further away or hosted near where the game servers are likely located.

if you see massive spikes in ping variance you have bad quality of service right now, if you see it very minor bumps and pretty steady you have decent QoS.

there are many factors that can contribute to bad/good QoS.

VPN will only help if internet routing for whatever reason is the culprit in any other situation it will not assist and just adds more variables to the equation.

if you get intermittent destination host IP unreachable you are having packet loss, any amount of packet loss be it 1-2 percent or higher is really bad and no matter the variance if this is occuring its the absolute worst when it comes to maintaining connection quality.

sometimes its just an ISP issue that gets fixed behind the scenes, sometimes its just routing and a bad hop along the way, sometimes its ISPs that are unaware you are having bad QoS, sometimes its ISPs that are fleecing their customers, sometimes its the game servers and sometimes its because the stars aligned a certain way.

Just had this happen to me as well... I killed a two man squad while hiding in a bush. feel like maybe they reported me because he didn't spot me? Never used a cheat before in an online game think it kills games as I came from dealing with mega cheaters in tarkov previously. Had like 600k on me in loot and game said network fluctuations etc etc, trying now with AVG off to see if anything changes. really stupid if you get false reported the game kicks you.

Well, I ran 3 or 4 more games and didn't have the issue. Seems to be related to AVG anti-virus which sucks having to disable to play the game but will do it if I have to, I guess.

You can try whitelist your Steam folder in your anti-virus software. There is one time many players cannot launch Rainbow Six Siege after a update, later figured out they had to whitelist the Steam folder in their anti-virus software in order to launch the game. That anti-virus software is Bitdefender.
