@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 ?
