    Windows 10: Keeps uninstalling Rainbow Six and forcing me to re-download.

    Pretty much as the title says, Windows 10 cheekily upgraded itself when i put my PC to sleep one evening and during the upgrade Rainbow Six got uninstalled. Since then it keeps getting uninstalled every 2-3 days......I'll literally finish playing siege turn my PC off then on start-up Uplay tells me to re-download it.... The game files are nowhere to be seen so i have no choice..

    Frustrating to say the least!

    Hello and welcome to the Forums,

    That's bizarre, to say the least. Please contact Ubisoft Support and let them know you're specs as well so they can troubleshoot this with you.

    Thanks

    Just happened to me today for the 1st time. Now a 58 GB download... apparently Steam users are affected also (found a reddit post and h__ps://steamcommunity.com/app/359550/discussions/1/1629664606990952173/

    Anyone find anything?

    Hey SOG_crypto7, thanks for getting in touch!

    Just to check, are you sure you're not referring to Crimson Heist update by any chance? To find more information about it as well as the size of the patch, have a look at the following article.

    Should you have any questions, let us know!

    My clanmates all had a 5 GB download (one guy said 9), but mine was the full 58 GB reinstall... but now it's okay. It seems to have coincided with Crimson Heist. I just assumed it was something about the season pass which was incompatible. That's gone now under Crimson Heist, I'm guessing b/c that "season" is over and it's a new season now! So it's not a recurring thing like others seem to have. Thanks for the reply!

    Not a problem! Glad it's sorted out for you.
