Rainbow Six: Siege - Update 2.1: Custom Games, Zuschauer-Modus und viele Bugfixes

Rainbow Six: Siege bietet jetzt dedizierte Server für benutzerdefinierte Spiele und Zuschauer-Modus.

Der Entwickler und Publisher Ubisoft hat für den Shooter Rainbow Six: Siege das Update 2.1 veröffentlicht. Details und die englischen Patch Notes finden sich im Ubisoft-Forum. Der Patch ist ab sofort für PC verfügbar und folgt am 16. Februar für Konsolen, die Größe beträgt 1,2GB.

Neue Features sind unter anderem jetzt verfügbare, benutzerdefinierte Spiel und der Zuschauer-Modus via dedizierten Server. Spieler müssen also nicht auf Peer2Peer setzen, was den Host bevorteilen würde. Dafür gibt es allerdings noch ein paar Einschränkungen des Features, unter anderem sind zwingend zehn Spieler erforderlich.

Mehr statt weniger Bugs: Update 2.0 für Siege sorgt für Ärger

Verbessert wurde auch der deutsche Operator Blitz, dessen Kopf jetzt nicht mehr über seinen Schild ragt und damit kein Ziel für eine Kopfschüsse mehr sein sollte. Auch der Rückstoß der PKP Pecheneg und der AUG wurde vereinfacht, um sie kontrollierbarer zu machen.

Die restlichen Patch-Notes finden sich unterhalb der News, Rainbow Six: Siege wurde am 01. Dezember 2015 für PC, Xbox One und PlayStation 4 veröffentlicht. Der erste, kostenlose DLC Black Ice erschien kürzlich.

Patch Notes:

Player ComfortAdded HUD presets in Custom Games to accommodate different needs

Added ESL Pro League S1 HUD, which is the preset chosen by ESL for their tournaments.
Altered Hardcore HUD, which is our first iteration leading to the Hardcore Mode. It is not final and is just a first step we can share as we work on completing the Game Mode.

Daily Challenges now accumulate daily without needing to log in

Players no longer need to log in at least once every 24 hours to get a new challenge. Instead, one challenge is granted every day to every player that has at least one free challenge slot, even if they don't log in.

Fairfight cheating kick message updated to make it clearer

When a player is banned, an unclear message was broadcasted to all players playing in public matchmaking '[PLAYER] has removed from the match by FairFight™.' From now on, the message '[PLAYER] has been banned from the game by FairFight™.' will be broadcasted instead.
