Rainbow Six Siege keeps crashing

Old drivers, damaged files or background apps

Crashes, freezes and stutter on PC usually come from a system below the requirements, missing or damaged game files, old graphics drivers or apps running in the background.

Is Rainbow Six down right now? Operational: 37 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.

How to fix it

  1. Check that your PC meets the system requirements for Siege.

  3. Run the game with administrator rights.

  4. Verify the game files in Ubisoft Connect, Steam or the Epic Games Launcher.

  5. Close background apps that may interfere with the game.
