Rainbow Six Extraction does not start and crashes on the PC
Rainbow Six Extraction is finally available on all main platforms. After so much delay, the game has finally managed to see the light of day. The game is currently in all consoles and in PC through Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games Launcher and Game Pass . Anyway, some people are reporting some errors with the game. Some users can not start R6 Extraction and, for some, the game is blocked immediately after starting. Now, this is still understandable for users who do not have systems that coincide with the Requirements of the R6 extraction system. But, even high-level users face this. Here are some solutions that you can try:
Update your graphics drivers to the most recent
Nvidia has already launched a Game Ready controller for Rainbow Six Extraction on January 14, 2022. The version is 511.23. This new Game Ready driver offers the best game experience day 0 for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction, which uses NVIDIA DSS to maximize performance and NVIDIA Reflex to minimize latency. You can download the last update through the GeForce Experience application, or you can download it and install it manually, from this link .
AMD also launched an optimized controller for R6 Extraction PC on January 18, 2022. The version is called Adrenalin 22.1.2 optional. You can download it from this link or through the automatic detection of AMD. Here are the notes of the version:
Support for
- Extraction of Rainbow Six® from Tom Clancy
- AMD Radon ™ Rx 6500 AT Graphics
- RADON ™ RX 6500M Graphics
- AMD Radon ™ Rx 6400 Graphics
- AMD Radon ™ Rx 6300M Graphics
Verify the files from Rainbow Six Extraction
There is a possibility that startup problems or blockages are due to the lack of some files or a damaged file in the R6 Extraction installation directory. And, there is only one way to detect them and correct them. Use the file verification function of the initiator you are using to solve this problem.
If you have installed Rainbow Six Extraction through Ubisoft Connect (previously known as Play), then it is how to do it:
- Start Ubisoft Connect
- Go to «Games»
- Click Extraction of Rainbow Six
- Click on «Properties» on the left bar
- Search in the section «Local Files»
- Click on «Verify files»
If you bought Rainbow Six Extraction in EGL, this is what you should do:
- Start the epic game launcher
- Go to your library
- Take the mouse pointer over Extraction of Rainbow Six from Tom Clancy
- Click on the Configuration icon (three points) next to the Start icon
- Select «Verify»
Do not run GPU or CPU overclocked
If you are using a GPU or overclocked CPU, keep in mind that the clock speeds are the clock speeds configured by default in the BIOS. When you change the speed of the clock entering the BIOS on your motherboard, it will also change the voltage of the GPU or CPU, but it will not affect the amount of current that the PSU can deliver to the GPU or CPU. What, in return, will make the hardware unstable. And that could lead to accidents. End also the overclocking software, while doing so.
Turn off Ubisoft Connect Overlay and try starting the game again
If you were not here during the launch of Far Cry 6, let me tell you that Ubisoft Connect Overlay was causing havoc everywhere. It was causing blockages, launch problems and strange errors that constantly showed an error message that said low amount of VRAM available. And believe me, simply disabling the superposition of Ubisoft Connect, fixed everything. You must remember that Ubisoft Connect remains a comparatively new launcher, which lacks Play stability. So wait for this type of problems frequently.
Go to Setup of Ubisoft Connect> General> Uncheck «Enable overlay in the game for compatible games».
Disable Ubisoft Connect Game Notifications
To deactivate game notifications:
- Go to the configuration of Ubisoft Connect
- Click on General
- Uncheck Enable post-game notifications for upcoming launches, events, promotions and additions to my games»
Run R6-Extraction.exe as administrator
First, make sure you have logged in to Windows 10 with your administrator account. Now, here what you have to do. Go to the folder where Rainbow Six Extraction installed.
Look for the R6-Extraction.exe file> Right-click on it> Select Properties> Click on the Compatibility tab> Now check «Execute this program as administrator». Save the configuration and start the game by double-clicking on the executable file.
Manually update the redistribute Microsoft Visual C ++ and restart your machine
There is a possibility that your Visual C ++ redistribute has not been installed correctly. Therefore, I would recommend that you update it. This will solve the errors Miss Vcruntime140 1.dll or No MSVCP140.dll was found.
On the linked page, you will see a «Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022» and a «Visual Studio 2013 (VC ++ 12.0)». Install the «X64» version of both.
Include in the white list the extraction of Rainbow Six in its antivirus software
There is a great chance that your antivirus program is blocking the launch of R6 Extraction. You may be giving you a message of ‘false positive’ or ‘malware’. Make sure your antivirus is not blocking EXTRACTION. Add the.exe file of the game to any feature of the white list in your antivirus.
Disable applications in the background
Certain Microsoft services or third-party software running in the background can cause interference with your games. Disable all programs temporarily, either manually or performing a clean start of your system. If the problem does not happen after disabling all the programs, start re-enabling them one by 1. Repeat this until I find the problem again: The last starting element that verified will be the one that interferes with your game. Note that this process will probably lead to the deactivation of the firewall and the security software. Once you have finished trying the game, do not forget to enable it again.
Set the R6 extraction video settings to the minimum possible
This step is only for those who can start the game, but they are blocked as soon as they begin to play. There is a possibility that a certain video configuration is causing blocking, because it is configured at a level of quality that your GPU has problems handling.
Go to Options> Video> Establish «General Quality» in «Ultra Low» and DSS in «Quality». And start playing the game. If it does not fail, simply raise the quality to the next preset, which should be very low, restart the game and start playing again. Continue doing this until you find the configuration that is causing the block.
new installation in a different unit
If things do not work correctly, continue and perform a new installation of R6 Extraction. Yes, I know that this is not the most convenient step. But believe me, this is the best you can do in this situation.
