Instead of R6 Siege X, players see “Multiplayer Access Deactivated” error. “Good” start of the new update
Multiplayer deactivated is not what many R6 Siege X fans hoped to see after installing the latest update, yet here we are. Many people can't play due to unexpected error.

Without a doubt Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is a popular online shooter. No wonder that it is regularly updated, even though it is almost 10 years old. Today’s patch is a little bit different, though, as it introduced a lot of new features. Among other “improvements” (not all things are good, like Clash rework for example), Siege X introduces a new mode called Dual Front and… it seems that there is an error as a bonus - “Multiplayer Deactivated”.
Multiplayer Access Deactivated in R6 Siege X
It seems that it is a tradition that after big R6 updates something goes wrong. I remember that quite recently alt tabbing was causing the game to freeze, even before that there were crashes and server issues after Y10S1 maintenance. It looks like we are once again entitled to the fun ride, as more and more people report that the multiplayer is not working in R6 Siege X and they see “Multiplayer Access Deactivated” information. How to fix that?
At this point you should not worry. Taking into account the number of people who experience the problem (they also post it on Rainbow Six Siege X X account), it is on Ubisoft’s end, not yours. Most likely, servers are overloaded and the bug happens. There is probably a possibility that you might “fix” the issue simply by restarting the game and hoping that it will just “click”, we are not sure, though. It is equally possible that we will have to wait for the new patch… or less people on servers. Good luck!
