So, I've got about a $2000 gaming setup and decent internet, should be killing games online, right? Well Rainbow Six Siege is one exception and I can't figure out what's causing it. I'm wired directly with an Ethernet cable to my ISP's Modem, I've disabled my anti virus and Asus's packet prioritization software, I've opened up every port for Uplay and Siege (Although the game still claims I have a moderate NAT type...), and even tried changing my data center through the config file. Nothing seems to help and every match I get these moments where my ping stays the same (around 60 - 80ms) yet I rubber band all over the place and people freeze in place. I've tried contacting Ubi support and they have no idea what the issue could be. I was told by a member on the Ubi forums to do a portpath in cmd, I ran the command to the TCP IPs the game was running with and on a couple IPs there was 60 - 90% packet loss. I have no clue how to do anything further as I'm not too network savy. I've checked my connection on speedtest.net and it's always a steady 22mbps Down and 1.8mbps Up with 35ms ping. Any help would be appreciated as I really like this game but in it's current state it's damn near unplayable. Thanks.

PS: I have AT&T Shitverse so that could be the problem in itself...

If every other game is working fine but this it would seem the problem is not at your end. It could be a routing issue or a issue with the game server(s) themselves, in which case there is nothing that you can do really. Having packet loss pinging certain IP addresses but not others suggests the problems is not at your end. You shouldn't need to disable firewalls etc to play a game.
 


Nobody else is having this issue though. I first thought it was the servers but wouldn't that effect more than just one player? Also, why does the game still say I have a moderate NAT type although I forwarded all the necessary ports? Thanks.
 


Ok, I assume you did the port forward on the router? I read that you need the following ports forwarded from your router:

Uplay
TCP: 13000, 13005, 13200, 14000, 14001, 14008

Rainbow Six: Siege
UDP 10000-10099, 3074
 


Yes, I forwarded all those to my PC yet my NAT type is still moderate ingame.
 


Someone on reddit seems to have got some help on that issue by > UPnP disable, apply, UPnP enable, apply and the power cycle the router.
