Lag makes R6 completely unplayable!

[Metagravedom]

Like the title says, theres nothing to troubleshoot, theres nothing that I can do to fix it. there is absolutely nothing wrong on my end. I have 100+ Mbps down an 20+ up and a top of the line router. yet this games lags like absolute garbage. I get better server connections on a game like squad an inde battlefield clone then i do on a freaking AAA game! I dont want to hear any excuses, a $60 online game plus all the season pass garbage and everything else, not only on PC but also on PS4 and xbox as well. This is not acceptable and frankly i dont know how ubi can even advertise the game in this state. its insulting that such a fun game (when it works) can't even get the bare minimum right when it comes to an ONLINE ONLY game.

What lag? How many frames? 15? Maybe your PC is a problem if not like you said, get a refund and move on :)

Hey,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this. There's a few things you can try which may help with your connection in game.

Thanks for responding, however here is the issue. I'm connected to the correct data center, my ping sits at about 23-32 data center side. there is no problem on my end like i said before. ALL settings in game are the ONLY settings that will work. I have everything set to exactly where it needs to be so the game will not crash. if i change anything in graphics or anything with how the game launches like "run as admin" or any "compatability mode" the game crashes. hell if i forget to put my steam status as away and someone messages me, guess what? the game crashes. I have spent so many hours (probably even days or weeks at this point) just trying to get this game to run that I refuse to play anymore troubleshooting games. I've done enough work on my end to get this game running and that should say something about how much i enjoy this game WHEN it works.

Now.... When i am in a game my ping will go from 32 to 1322 about every other second. with this kind of connection WALKING is hard enough god forbid i hit the shift key and teleport back and forth all over the map. (rubber banding) The connection icon on screen is constantly yellow or red, and i know its not me. this has ZERO to do with my end. i can play Ark of all games on max settings with relatively little lag. I can play squads, pubg, fortnite, call of duty, destiny, battlefield, literally ANY other game and not have these issues. Heres the real kicker to all of this, its NOT just on PC that im having this issue. (although it seems R6 on PC is the bane of my existence as i have had NOTHING but problems since i bought it.) on PS4 and XBOX this game does EXACTLY the same thing. ping shoots back and forth non-stop and makes almost EVERY match unplayable.

The Texas based server either has something wrong with it, it has bad/conflicting files, or some kind of magical micky mouse mystery requires the scooby doo gang to go figure it out. either way i have invested a considerable amount into the Rainbow Six / Tom Clancy series and trust me when i say that this is a "ubisoft" problem not a "me" problem. I have tried EVERY Faq section on the ubi website, i have scrolled through 10,000 steam posts to find anyone with a fix. i've uninstalled and reinstalled, and through complete trial and error i found settings that actually keep the game from crashing. now that its not crashing all of a sudden i have connection issues with the servers. sometimes i wonder if the dev team is just purposly screwing with me to see how much more crap i will put up with before i snap.

I see, I understand your frustration with all of this completely. Seeing as this happens on console too it is likely not going to be an issue with your PC or anything like that so we'll save further troubleshooting.

All I can really recommend if you've tried all of the connectivity stuff is to contact your ISP directly to see if there is anything causing this to happen. Especially as it just seems to be with R6S. If you are tired of trying to figure it out I understand though.

Thank you for responding again, I have checked with my ISP and even had a very long detailed discusion about throtteling and how it would be a breach of our legal agreement in the event that they are indeed throttling my connection. (i pay for premium services and expect nothing less than the value i pay for) The very first thing i did was check all router and modem settings to make sure that none of those things effect the ping or connection to the server. I have even gone a step further and used multiple routers and modems to see if the hardware was an issue. again, none of those things appear to be an issue. the only 2 alternatives to it being a server issue is

A. i have completely lost my mind and i am halucinating everything. <- someone would have noticed by now.

B. my ISP is lying to me and will need to be sent some legal papers to put them back in their place. <- i doubt they would because no one enjoys being on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit.

Aside from hiring someone to completely reverse enginer this game and give me an answer i have already done everything within my abilities to get this game running and up to snuff. there is nothing I can do that I have not already done.

Maybe, you far away from the R6S servers like me ? I'm from Québec city near the studio who made that game and i can't play R6S without playing with 80+ ping if not 150+ or 300+ sometimes when the player base is low. That's the real issue there for Multiplayer only games. They need a decent player base everywhere to create match with low ping players with the same level as you.

For gamers from Québec; it's pretty much frustrating because we paid big money to Ubisoft Studio Québec and Montréal but we can't play the multiplayers games they made because we are too far from the main server who had a decent player base. Not to mention we paid to create jobs in the video industrie in Québec but in the end; Québec's Studio hire more strangers than local. So we paid for strangers jobs who create games with our money which we can't play. Like For Honors and R6S.

That's really sad.

That said; we saw big changes in the Ubisoft directions from the past months. Maybe the failure of For Honor will force some changes in the mentallity of the Ubisoft studio and the Québec citizens who blindly invest millions into their games without jobs for long time Québec residents artists.

hey sorry to comment on such an old post but i'm just wondering if you ever found a fix, i am having the same problem where i only lag on siege, the problem is, my first 200 hours were completely fine, now i cant play any games without being disconnected for bad ping, i'm sick of it as i used to play siege all the time on my console which was fine, its probably more client sided due to the fact I could play on Xbox, but seen as you said you spent a lot of time searching through steam posts i was wondering if you could help me out?

nothing anyone can do, its their servers and the game. like most games these days they are not friendly with certain hardware and for whatever reason every time they do an update to the engine or game files it does weird things like reading duplicate files, reading older versions of files while also reading new files, or it breaks the location data that it should be sending and receiving.

2 things you can try.
1. completely uninstall the game and manually make sure the R6 directory is deleted. then reinstall the game fresh.
2. see if you can find a game server to ping and see what the latency looks like. I think they either rent servers from rack space or Microsoft or maybe both.

Either way it may not solve your problems but you can give it a shot. If nothing else works your only option left is to uninstall and leave a bad review.

Hey I’ve been playing with the same issue for the past month now after just buying a new pc. I’ve had 150-200ms in games. When I used to play back in 2017-2021 I would not get any lag and play find. I’ve been looking everywhere for solutions and can’t find how to fix it. Have you resolved this issue yet?

[gnirpscah]

Hey after a month i have finally resolved the issue. The issue is not the game or your internet, it is your computer restricting your internet. I dont lag in any other games except r6 with 150ms in my own servers. i brought a mate with his computer to connect to the internet and play r6 and he got 20ms which indicated it was my pc. Im not sure what the exact thing thats causing this but it is something to do with your computer seeings.

i fixed the issue by reformatting my computer (reinstall/reset windows).

Finally i can play r6 at peace
