Rainbow Six not launching..

[KoioXANN]

When I press play , the game will not launch.
I'm not getting an error or something , but my friends see that I'm playing Rainbow Six , but only for 1-2 seconds. After that , it shows that I'm Online again.
That was happening after The Wind Bastion Update, before that , the game was running perfectly
Some fixes? Please?

Sorry for my bad english

I know this thread is really old (sorry) but just giving my late solution just in case it might help anybody.

(I have bought the game from UPlay. My PC Specs are in my Profile Bio.)

I had a problem where the game would "Sync to the Cloud" first when launching and then nothing would happen. No errors or anything. Siege's RAM usage would freeze to around 140MB (in the task manager) and I could only close the game by either quitting UPlay or closing the task in task manager.

I tried basically everything I could find. I even reinstalled the game, but it wouldn't work. The game usually randomly launched but most often didn't work.

I found that it was some background program that was preventing the game from launching (Most likely MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner, which are both programs that draw overlays on applications)

My tip: Try closing all the background programs by pressing the small arrow icon ("Show hidden icons") on your task bar and closing each program one by one. The game works fine for me right now and has launched ever since I started closing the programs.

Hello Steam community, I know some of you have had issues getting your game to start at all! Well I'm here to offer the final solution to your problem. If your game says its running and stops after a few moments. The problem is not with your game files. If you try to open Uplay on your computer and it will not load. This is your main issue. This game requires Uplay to lunch, but if the Uplay files are corrupt or miss the game will not launch. just uninstall Uplay and download the new version from there website and reinstall and login to your account. This should fix most any issue you have with launching the game.

Best Regards,

Dakilla

Hey there.

Are you using BitDefender? If so there is a known issue regarding this that is under investigation and we hope to have deployed a fix for this issue very soon. Please keep an eye on the Siege twitter account for updates on this.

If not the first thing I would suggest is to attempt each step suggested here[support.ubi.com]. These steps are known to resolve most of the common causes of crashing/freezing.

If after doing so you're still experiencing issues I'd then recommend opening a support case. You can reach us either through the support website[support.ubi.com] by opening a live chat session or alternatively through our social media accounts on Facebook[en-gb.facebook.com] and Twitter and they will be able to create a support case for you.

The reports we’ll need from you are linked below. These should help us to identify any potential cause of the crashing/freezing you’re currently experiencing.

MSInfo[support.ubisoft.com]
DxDiag[support.ubisoft.com]

Thanks.

I had the same issue and needed to whitelist the R6 .exe in Advanced Protection. I already had it whitelisted in AV but now needed it in AP as well.

Hey there,

I think in your case it would be really beneficial to take a look at your Dxdiag[support.ubisoft.com] and Msinfo[support.ubisoft.com] so that we can get a deeper look at the problem.

These files can be attached to a new case[support.ubi.com] so that we can take a look.

Any trouble just let us know
