Rainbow Six Siege is still working to perfect its streamer mode, according to a tweet made by the game's official page. The popular first-person shooter will introduce "Queue Sniping protection" in the Y6S1.1 update as a part of the game's Streamer Mode.
Queue Sniping involves players watching the streams of popular Siege content creators in order to attempt to get into the same lobby as them and intentionally upset their games. However, the new protections will "allow you to hide your region and latency, and set a random matchmaking delay," according to the Rainbow Six Siege Twitter account. "With this, it reduces the ability of players watching a stream to purposely queue into that same streamer's lobby."
However, the same cannot be said for stream sniping protections, which have been delayed indefinitely, "until it meets the expectations of our players and streamers." In postponing this aspect of Streamer Mode, developer Ubisoft hopes to "offer better protection" when the system is eventually launched. There is currently no timeline for the launch, however.
