Rainbow six has destroyed my computer please help

[SilverCinder]

So i just sent the message below to the developer to get some assistance. Please anyone read this to understand my problem and let me know if they have any ideas, i have tried just about everything i have ever known to fix a problem but nothing works. Let me know if you have any ideas please.

OK so recently i installed Rainbow Six Siege starter edition on my computer through steam. I've been having a problem ever since downloading it however. Once the game was installed i launched the game and it launched through Uplay which i already had installed a while ago and it opened to a black screen which i assumed it was just loading but it stayed on this black screen for hours and never moved. I tried to alt + tab out of that game I've tried alt + f4 and I've tried control + alt + del and nothing closes the black screen. In fact pressing control + alt + del makes my computer stop responding completely and i have to restart my computer. The worst part is that now many of my other steam games are now doing the same thing and now i noticed that they6 are in fact freezing right after i launch the game. The games that are doing the same thing are Warframe, Garry's mod, and Warface. I have many more games that i suspect may be doing it as well. i am messaging you to tell you i believe that this issue may originate from Rainbow Six Siege because i know that downloading games will cause the game to change something within my computer and whatever your game changed has made it so i cannot play many of my other games. please let me know what I can do to fix this as i have proof that all of these issues are originating from your game. thank you very much.

No it is not saying anything, the game is simply freexzing imediatly after launch on a black screen before any title or loading screens

[dogdaddonga]

Well whats your specs then? Just arguing with everyone isnt going to help it does sound like a hardware problem, what gpu drivers and windows are you running?

[LegitimateJuice]

specs?

[RageyPoo]

If you want help, it tends to really be helpful posting your PC specs.

I have an intel i5 quad core 4440 with am AMD Radeon R7 370 ddr5 4gb graphics card 16 gb of ram. Now I know it isnt a windows version issue because the only issues that i know can occur from this is if i just switched from windows 8 to 10 but im still on windows 8, My graohics drivers are currently 16.4.2

Just because it's new doesn't mean it hasn't failed. In fact with mechanical hard drives the most common times for them to fail is usually within a couple of weeks of getting them (usally caused by being shaken about too much in transit), or years later (wear and tear)...

...my hardware is also nominal...

That's literally meaningless...

Chances are it's something less severe, like your drivers have borked. You might also have knocked something loose when you installed the drive...

Ok, you're not talking to an amature computer nut here, i do know whether or not my hardware is corrupted or not. I did not order my hardrive and have it delivered here, i picked it up myself so ther is no chance of it being damaged by mishandeling. Plus, i've checked and rechecked my hardware a thousand times this month and even more so these last few days, i know for a fact it is an iossue regaurding a configuration that Rainbow Six Siege has changed

[SilverCinder]

Please is there anyone around that knows of a solution other than upgrading or replacing broken hardware components?

[Di$TuRbEd]

Fact- this game will NOT corrupt another game.

Either hardware or software fault.

[SilverCinder]

I'm sorry i have many other people telling me otherwise. Im not saying that this game is a virus, but in order to run, this game had to change some file configurations on my computer to launch, every game does that, this game changed something that did comp;;ly to another configuration some of my other games had set up and now they all don't work because of that, so it was this game.

Run a GPU stress test and see how that comes back.

Any software will add registry entries to your operating system, but will be for that piece of software and that piece of software alone. Some software (in this game, Rainbow > Uplay > Steam all in one big circle upon launch) will 'talk' to each other, but won't actively write or re-write any files in each others configuration to the point of potentially damaging one another. That's crazy talk.

Sometimes it's a resolution default that games apply. When loading the game up, alt+enter to put it in windowed. Unlikely that will fix the issue but it's worth a shot.

I recently downloaded a program from IObit called driver booster. This thing found 13 drivers out of date and updated them. I have yet to have any other issues with games.

ok i''ll give the driver booster a shot cause recently i've discovered it may all be a conflicting resolution issue, but that partially explains why only some of my games are not working anymore, but thanks for the suggestion.

Ill be honest if you tried software re install as in windows fresh install wich you SHOULD, then its hardware, if you have spare parts, you should slowly remove and boot your computer to try and jot down what is wrong with your comp, in example if you have 2 sticks of ram remove one and then boot, if it happens then add the removed one and remove the the other one, that way slowly but surely you will zero on what part of your hardware is at fault.

Be smart, just because some hardware of your computer is new or has only a couple of months does not mean it should not fail, fact is it can and may fail, all are mass produced and transported via ship to the brands who then ship it to stores.

I know its hard to see that hardware that costs 100++ dollars fail on you but thats just how it is.

I say this as I have years on my belt dealing with this, as many other users who have said the same have.

Goodluck
