Rainbow Six Siege PC Errors And Fixes: Connectivity Issues, Crashes, Cannot Invite Friends

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a fairly stable game on the PC but we have heard reports about crashes, low fps and connectivity issues. Please be advised that the following methods are to be used at the sole discretion of the platform owner. GamingBolt or its staff members take no responsibility for problems that may arise or issues that may occur from trying the below. Always remember that official support is always the best support. 

If you are facing Error 2-0x00000047 or connectivity issues, then we suggest following the steps listed at the game’s official website. If you are facing any random crashes, then you should look into downloading the latest drivers for your AMD or Nvidia GPU card. Both of these companies released new driver updates a few days ago, so this should help matters. If you are facing performance issues or low frames per second, ensure that your PC meets the requirements to run this game. If you do, try and ensure that you have the latest GPU and CPU drivers.

If you cannot invite or play with friends, go to the SteamApps folder and change the name of the folder. Delete the local content via Steam and rename the SteamApps folder back to its original name. If this does not work, try and checking whether you have allowed “Open for friends” in game’s Options.

And finally, make sure that your hardware is meeting the requirements below:
