A bug that has been troubling Rainbow Six Siege players for quite some time now is a very frustrating one that makes the game freeze, but the audio doesn’t.
Players on the subreddit frequently mention this problem. They are eager to find solutions that will help them fix their problems.
Potential Workaround:
Some players who got hit by the freezing issue have shared various methods, such as:
- Switching from Vulkan to launch mode
- Resetting PC settings
- Tweaking memory settings
- Closing the process of Discord and launching the game
The latest solution that has been confirmed by many players and seems to be working is to close all Discord processes before launching Rainbow Six Siege.
Although the cause of Discord freezing in the game is not clear, what has been effective is the gameplay without Discord running in the background.
If you can’t close Discord altogether, you might also want to try turning off the Discord overlay:
- Navigate to Your Account > Overlay.
- Turn off the Overlay option.
This can be an effective way to stop the freezes without the necessity to turn off Discord completely.
As the freezing bug is detected by more players, it is probably expected that Ubisoft, the developer of Rainbow Six Siege, will prioritize the resolution of the issue and avoid further troubles and frustration for the players.
