Ubisoft has published the Y11S1 patch notes addendum for Rainbow Six Siege today, mopping up issues that surfaced during the Operation Silent Hunt Season Test Server. It's a long list.
The bulk of the fixes target Solid Snake, which makes sense given he's the headline addition this season. His Soliton Radar Mk. III was punching through floors it shouldn't see on both Emerald Plains and Bank, his knife was getting stuck on weapon switches, and enemy icons weren't showing up the first time precision mode activated. That last one is a pretty significant oversight for a gadget built around map awareness. Maverick players in Dual Front also got some relief; his Breaching Torch was launching rounds with a single charge instead of five, and wasn't refilling after depletion.
Beyond operator-specific fixes, there are UI and display corrections for ultra-wide resolutions, a lobby disbanding bug in Custom Games, and a fix for placeholder text sitting in the Operators section for Finka, Thorn, Iana, and Kaid. Not glamorous, but the kind of thing that quietly erodes confidence in a live game if left sitting. Full patch notes below.
