- Hit detection issues on all platforms
- Improved telemetry
- Kill camera alignment glitches
- Neck shots won’t be registered as headshots
- BattlEye support improvements on PC
- Connectivity fixes across all platforms

A more complete list of fixes will likely be available once the official patch notes go live, but these changes are confirmed adjustments with top-priority status that should arrive next week or shortly thereafter.
In fact, with regard to recent networking problems, Siege PS4 servers just finished a round of maintenance to fix matchmaking errors in multi-region parties. Players in select territories may need to download an emergency 2.5GB patch to resolve the issue. Additional undisclosed network improvements are designed to keep the Sony faithful online.
Rainbow Six Siege update 2.1.0 arrived just a few days ago, and it addressed issues with XP, the Velvet Shell DLC and more. The next round of fixes should further tighten the multiplayer experience.
Rainbow Six Siege is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
