Nope thats a personal issue I have a hack that muffels my voice only when I speak to you :rock:

Apparently the patch may have caused a new problem with controlling the bots in single player mode mine was cycling through the commands and I could not keep the bots following me they just took off because of the commands being sent to them just out of control

Mine did that before the patch. They world get stuck on door stacks and stuff and just running all over the place getting killed.

UBI says they are trying to find out why

One of the reasons I bought this game over Steam is I like the fact all the games get patched in the background and are always patched and ready to play, the fact I don't have to worry about what DVDs I have in the drive, don't have extra game boxes laying around, never have to deal with defective media or stolen CD Keys, and I save gas by not driving to the store.

Unfortunately it seems something is different with this game than all the others because they've delayed the patch apparently.

I had no trouble finding unpatched servers last night, so I suppose the R6V2 community is currently divided right now between patched ones and unpatched.

I'm pretty sure whatever is causing this is a UbiSoft issue rather than a Valve one, when I compare the quality track record of both companies side-by-side, although I had excellent luck with the only other Ubi game I got over Steam (Dark Messiah).

Doesn't make that much difference to me because I doubt I will have a chance to play until this weekend anyway, but I thought I would mention it in case anyone else is playing through Steam and having trouble finding certain servers.

Last night I did go ahead and finish up the single player campaign which I had been dawdling on, and I did want to get that done before the patch was installed anyway.
