New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 02, 2022) follows:
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction is the latest title in the decades-old Rainbow Six series.
Unlike its predecessor that pits players against one another, Rainbow Six Extraction is a PvE game where players must complete certain objectives such as extracting materials and collecting samples in an alien-infested environment.
And as is the case with every other recent Ubisoft title, freezing, crashing, and launching issues already seem to be affecting the gameplay experience for some.
Having said that, Rainbow Six Extraction players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) that they are getting stuck in the Airlock when moving between sub-zones.
Many say they tried waiting for a few minutes in the Airlock but had to eventually abandon the match and disconnect. Others say that they are stuck in one place and are unable to move or interact with anything.
But leaving the game results in getting an abandon penalty which causes players to lose XP, lose the operator, and get banned from matchmaking for a few minutes.
Thankfully, Rainbow Six Extraction developers have acknowledged the issue and said that the bug causing players to get stuck in the airlock is currently under investigation. Unfortunately, there is no ETA on when it will be fixed.
We hope Ubisoft finds a solution in the coming days since the bug is making the gameplay unplayable for some. When they do, we will let you know so stay tuned.
