Speaking about Rainbow Six Siege


  • The reaction from our gamers was a small mixed. Rainbow Six Siege Credits like a dev group and Ubisoft as a complete have a very firm stance when it comes to harassment and toxicity, so we feel very strongly that racial and homophobic slurs don't belong in Rainbow Six Siege. We are totally ok with players that disagree with us, that's entirely their right, but we're not going to shy away from that which we feel is right and our vision for Rainbow Six.

    We do not automatically permanently ban anyone for toxicity and some other permanent bans for which are done through manual inspection. We do have individuals who go through and examine players who get numerous bans with this and see what's going on and if it is worthy of a permanent ban.

    We have other things like a chat filter that we have mentioned in preceding toxicity communications that we are working on. A chat filter supersedes an auto-ban as in case a message is never sent then there is no need to ban someone for this. We have more term things that we are working towards this may potentially make the auto-ban for toxicity feature obsolete. We do not know yet but we will see how that develops.

    Anti-cheat, similar to toxicity, is an evolving process that we are going to continue working on. We do not see two-step verification for ranked as a way for cheating, but what it'll do is create the rated environment more pure, so to speak. It is only one thing we are working on: along with the two-step verification requirement for rated, we're focusing on things like getting back any MMR lost when you perform with a cheater, and we are also increasing our penetration testing efforts .

    So we're finding hacks and possible exploits from the game before others, Information at twitter is huge when it comes to anti-cheat efforts. We're stepping up how often and how regularly we are working on this, we have a few other ideas kicking around, but we still can't talk about it because anti-cheat is such a sensitive subject and we don't wish to share too much on it. Those three things are going to have a fairly major impact, especially the penetration testing and patching out those vulnerabilities.
