Rainbow Six Siege Y9S3.1 Patch Notes: Key Fixes and Updates
Nov 21st, 2024
Alright, Siege players, the Y9S3.1 patch has landed, and it’s packing a solid punch with bug fixes, improvements, and a few optimizations for everyone on Ubisoft Connect, Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. Whether you’re a sweaty competitive player or just hanging out in casual, there’s something in here for you. Let's dive into what’s new in this update.
Patch Sizes by Platform
First things first—if you’re updating, make sure you’ve got enough space. The patch sizes vary depending on your platform, so here’s the breakdown:
- Ubisoft Connect: 1.15 GB
- Steam: 669 MB
- Xbox One: 1.34 GB
- Xbox Series X: 1.55 GB
- PlayStation 4: 1.89 GB
- PlayStation 5: 1.49 GB
Pretty straightforward. Now, onto the juicy bits—what actually got fixed.
Key Bug Fixes and Gameplay Improvements
This patch is all about fixing bugs that throw off your game. Here’s what they’ve tackled:
- Synaptic Charm Issue : The weird glitch where a placeholder charm would show up instead of the Synaptic charm—that’s gone now. Equip away!
- Thunderbird’s Kona Station : This fix was a big one. Previously, Kona stations kept healing even after getting hit by EMPs or Zoto Canisters. Not anymore. Now, they stop healing, even if you're wearing the elite uniform.
- Cyrillic Keyboard Layout : For our friends who type in Cyrillic, you can now chat without your keyboard layout getting messed up. Smooth communication is back.
- Consulate Map Fixes : If you’ve been frustrated by people blocking the EXT sewer with Deployable Shields, Ubisoft has your back. Attackers can finally pass through as they should. Plus, the 2F Yellow Stairs drone glitch, where drones could see through walls, has been patched up too And if you’re a new player who didn’t get their tutorial rewards, that’s been fixed as well. Go collect what’s yours after running through the tutorials.
Operator-Specific Fixes
Skopós mains, this update’s got some love for you:
- V10-Pantheon Shell Fixes : Ubisoft has ironed out some of the weirdness around vaulting, idle animations, and remapping inputs. Everything should feel a lot more fluid now.
- Headshot Invulnerability in Arcade Mode : Skopós was invincible to headshots in arcade modes, but this patch has fixed that. Back to fair play.
- Victory Celebration Animations : Skopós looked a little awkward during victory celebrations. That’s been corrected, so now you can gloat in style. Other operators got some tweaks too, like Fuze, Thunderbird, Clash, and Aruni. If you’ve been rocking those Esports bundle skins and having visibility issues, those have been taken care of.
Level Design and User Experience Enhancements
It’s not just the operators that got some TLC—maps and the overall experience saw a few changes too:
- Kanal Map Lighting : The 1F Projector Room was way too bright. Ubisoft toned it down so you won’t be squinting while trying to make out enemies in that area anymore.
- Shooting Range Matchmaking Glitch : There was a weird placeholder name glitch during matchmaking in the shooting range, but that’s been patched up too.
Finally, if you’re still on an older GPU, you’ll appreciate the DirectX 12 stuttering fix. No more annoying lag spikes during matches!
Impact on Gameplay
This patch really tightens up the game. It fixes a lot of the glaring bugs that disrupted both casual and competitive play. Skopós is definitely feeling more balanced now, and overall, the game should flow a lot better with these changes.
Whether you’re hopping into ranked or just goofing off in quick matches, you’re going to notice a smoother experience, especially with those map and UI fixes. Ubisoft has been good about keeping Siege polished, and this patch is a solid step toward keeping the gameplay balanced and enjoyable.
