Ubisoft is dropping a new Rainbow Six Siege update today and, alongside a host of gameplay, level design, operator, and user experience fixes and adjustments, there are a few, er, quirky hiccups that are getting patched. One of which involves causing frames-per-second dips by doing doughnuts really, really quickly in a certain spot. Huh.
"Fixed - fps drops can occur for everyone in the session if a player spins rapidly in a certain spot of 1F Archives on Bank map," the latest Siege patch notes detail. It's not quite clear what this certain spot is from the notes, but the hiccup sounds mighty similar to one described back in November 2018 by YouTuber DBL Online.
They showed that, if a group of players headed to a certain corner in the Bank map's first-floor archives room (having dialled up vertical and horizontal sensitivity to 100, and dead zones down low) and span around on the spot very quickly, the FPS game's, er, fps would drop significantly. At the time, the YouTuber reported that the glitch could affect everyone in a game.
