sup dude im having the same problem at the moment as well, not sure it is if its steams/uplays/or geforce breaking something or something broke in the most recent update or geforce driver

i have a way of playing the game but you wont be able to have your discord overlay showing, you have to run R6S as administrator to be able to play, hopefully this helps and hopefully this gets patched soon

hey, having the same problem as well all of a sudden a few days ago
tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work for me so far.

reinstalling siege, reinstalling uplay, setting rainbowsix.exe to admin and starting directly from the files, setting compatibility mode on, rolling back to the previous nvidia driver, updating directx, verifying game files

all of this done multiple times
literally nothing works

EDIT: so i may have found something that works... not sure but it seems to work for me atm
i always have my ds4 controller plugged in along with ds4windows active.
i tried quitting ds4windows and siege starts up now.
interested if this helps anyone else

yeaaa nvm it was just a fluke

Right click on Siege in Steam go to properties/ launch options type
-fullscreen and save then relaunch.

It will force game to open full screen and usually stop this dumbass behavior

ok so ive found a solution that is somewhat reliable so far

i use a laptop and the thermals on here get insane when gaming so i lower my power voltage with intel XTU to prevent thermal throttling and what seems to work is that if i give it a little more voltage(+0.010v<=) before starting siege, it tends to run properly.

another thing is that maybe affects the startup is firewall or antivirus stuff, in my case it was malwarebytes, so i put siege in the exclusions list and that also seemed to help.

clearing my memory cache also helps sometimes

it also seems like my controller doesnt effect the startup anymore for some weird reason

sry for the long post but these are the things ive tried and seems to work most of the time, still not 100% but close
