The latest Rainbow Six Siege patch may have introduced a series of new glitches to the game.

On the Rainbow Six Siege Reddit players are reporting issues with hit registration, rendering problems (operators become black shadows), and problems with knife melee attacks, such as those demonstrated in the video below.


"Nothing was as game breaking before as I'm seeing now," said one player, while another added: "I don't play that often, but yesterday I got a headshot bonus without getting a kill. Is that normal?"

Updating its forum post, Ubisoft has responded to a list of player issues and complaints but is as yet unable to confirm when we can expect some errors to be resolved.

The next Rainbow Six Siege patch is expected mid-February. The latest update, Operation Black Ice, rolled out last week.
