A first-person shooter with tactical elements, designed for personal computers and consoles of a new generation, was released in early December. The owners of the PlayStation and Xbox did not encounter any problems, but Windows fans claim that the Rainbow Six Siege does not start even on a powerful hardware. Tons of messages about various errors, crashes and lags flooded the forums a few days after the release of the game. The causes of the problems are very different: weak personal computers, optimization, improper installation, and so on. Let's see why the Rainbow Six Siege does not start.
Siege
The game was developed by the famous company Ubisoft. The key feature is the destructibility of the surrounding world and the interaction of players. The main mode is multiplayer, where you can select several game options. During the passage, the player receives various titles that are displayed in the profile. Here you can see the percentage of killings and deaths in battles.
To learn the basics of the game, you can go through several single-player missions.
Fans of the series will be able to play again in the "Anti-Terror" mode, which has returned to the last part. You can go alone or with friends (a group can include up to 5 people). The main task is to destroy opponents on a specific map. There are significantly more enemies than players, so you have to show teamwork in the Rainbow Six Siege. System requirements correspond to 2015, but about them a little later.
The game has a number of special forces from around the world, which include four unique operatives. There are also Russian special forces. Updates will be made by new units and fighters. Each operative has unique skills and adaptations for effective combat.
Immediately after the release, the game was criticized by various publications. As a rule, reviews and reviews were positive. Many liked the extensive features of the multiplayer mode, various gadgets and elaborate maps. The merit of the game, of course, was the destructibility of surrounding objects. The disadvantage was that the Rainbow Six Siege does not start on some machines, as well as minor bugs and braking. Developers are doing their best to eliminate the disadvantages by issuing regular updates. Be that as it may, the Rainbow Six Siege has become the best tactical shooter of recent times.
System requirements
The game received a high-quality development and destructibility, so braking can occur on a weak PC. Rainbow Six Siege often does not start with the owners of the old hardware, which does not meet the requirements of modern games. Before you begin to criticize developers, familiarize yourself with the system requirements.
Requires Windows 7 or later. On 32-bit versions, the game will not start, so install only 64-bit ones.
To run on average settings enough Intel Core i3 or equivalent from AMD.
I am glad that for good performance in the game you only need a GTX 460 with 1 GB of video memory. Similar from AMD - Radeon HD 5870.
RAM will require 6 GB. Some users also run on 4 GB of RAM, but there are lags.
Installation requires 30 GB.
For stable operation of the multiplayer, an Internet connection of 512 kbps or better is required.
Recommended Options:
- OS: Windows 7 or later (only 64-bit);
- a processor needs an Intel Core i5 or equivalent from AMD;
- video card: GTX 670 or another with 2 GB of video memory;
- RAM on the computer at least 8 GB;
- 30 GB of free space required;
- DirectX requires 11 versions.
System requirements in general are not much different from games released at the same time as Rainbow Six Siege. The game does not start also due to errors that are present in some patches. The solution is to install a different version. There are quite a few reasons, but we will talk about them below.
Updates
Updating video card drivers and other equipment often helps to solve problems with launching games, and Rainbow Six Siege is no exception. The launch error, crashes and lags should disappear immediately after installing a special version of the drivers that appear on the day of the game’s release. Visual C ++ as well as DirectX should be updated. All current versions can be found on the official website of the manufacturer, they are distributed free of charge. To keep abreast of the latest updates, it is recommended to have monitoring programs. If installing new driver versions did not help you, do not despair. Below we consider common problems and their solutions.
Startup error
Go into the Uplay settings, then find the item "in-game console" and make it inactive. Start the game with administrator rights. The method will not work if you have a Rainbow Six Siege repack. Mechanics, for example, always try to release working versions, but they also have flaws.
Error 8-0x00000052
Appears during the game in multiplayer mode. It is solved by rebooting the personal computer. In the near future, developers will provide a patch that should eliminate the error. For some, disabling unnecessary processes in the task manager, which takes up a lot of memory, helps.
Does not start
The cause of the problems is the incorrect installation of the game. It is solved by disabling the antivirus and reinstalling it. It is not recommended to use Cyrillic characters in the path to the game folder. If the version is from Steam, check the cache for integrity.
Departures to the desktop
This is due to insufficient free RAM. It is solved by closing unnecessary programs and processes in the task manager. Do not leave open browser windows, they greatly slow down the computer. Do not clog the hard drive with unnecessary junk and regularly defragment it.
