Rainbow Six Siege bug where teammates outline & player names disappear under investigation

Rainbow Six Siege has been around since 2015 and has a massive player base across numerous platforms. It has already bagged multiple patches and updates ever since it came out.

Now, the game recently received the year 6 season 3 patch titled Crystal Guard. The latest Y6S3 patch brings a bunch of fixes, a new Operator, and much more to Rainbow Six Siege.

While the latest patch is all about improvements and bug fixes, Rainbow Six Siege players are still experiencing some problems with the in-game interface.

As per multiple reports, there appears to be a bug in Rainbow Six Siege where the teammates outline, player names, objective, and several other UI elements disappear.

Reports about this bug started pooling in after the Y6S3 patch and the issue clearly appears to be widespread. Also, there is currently no workaround for this problem.

This is inconveniencing players as they are unable to play the game properly because of the bug. However, affected players may not have to contend with this problem for too long.

Ubisoft Support has acknowledged the bug where UI elements like teammates outline, player names, objective, and more disappear in Rainbow Six Siege.

The issue is currently being looked into which further indicates that a fix for the same might arrive in the near future.

Thus players can take comfort in knowing that the issue with missing UI may get resolved soon. However, this is still based on speculation as Ubisoft Support has not provided any ETA on how long it will take for the fix to arrive.

It is still good to see that Ubisoft is aware of the aforementioned bug in Rainbow Six Siege and is already working to resolve it.

Hopefully, the game developer and publisher soon releases a patch fixing this issue so that players can enjoy Rainbow Six Siege without any hassle.

That said, we will report back with more details as and when we get new information to share so stay tuned.
