Just in case you’re trying to get your head around why Rainbow Six Siege is throwing ‘server connection error’? Well, if so, find solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one facing issues lately.
A quick look at micro-blogging site Twitter conveys there are many other affected by the same issue. Going by user reports, the latest update patch Y4S3.2 created some issue. Here are some reports:
@UbisoftSupport Since the new @Rainbow6Game update today on PC I can not connect into a multiplayer match, and after I join a lobby I get disconnected and receive a “Rainbow Six Siege server connection error”. Do you know any other player facing this issue?

Due to the new patch I got a bug that my Rainbow Six Siege thinks its offline most of the time. And when its online and I try to connect to a custom lobby it loads a bit and my r6 goes offline again. Any Solution ?
