Ubisoft recently added more changes for Rainbow Six Siege's test server that fixes a lot of bugs and added known issues which they will fix in the near future.
Ubisoft made a lot of changes to their latest reworked map, House, including removing a vault option prompt on the stairs towards the exterior garage. The developers also removed a spawnkill from the garage entrance. Most of these changes were made to ensure players have fun and don’t have to encounter annoying issues during the start of the game.
Glaz’s thermal scope was also not working as intended. It didn’t provide visibility through the smoke, even when the scope was fully charged.
Unfortunately, the newest operators are bannable in Ranked, which can ruin a player's experience with trying out the new characters and fully utilizing them before the main update comes out. Ubisoft is also dealing with the weapon reload animations for the M4 and AK12.
You can find the patch notes below:
