However, what won't be fixed is issues that have been driving the Siege community crazy, not least, the ELO glitch that allowed players to manipulate how much ELO they would earn or lose by having one of their players leave, then rejoin, the game. There is also no mention of fixes for the HUD or for the rampant cheating that can be seen in all regions and which has plagued the game for years.

When does Y6S1.2 come out?

For PC, Y6S1.2 will be released at 9 am EDT / 1 pm UTC on the 13th April

Downtime is estimated at 30 mins.

A console release will be at a later date, bundled as it is with Y6S1.3.

The patch will be 1.28GB through Ubisoft Connect and 895mb through Steam.
