Issues unresolved
Cannot connect to Ubisoft's online service
A common error for players attempting to play Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 online is the message "Failed to initialize network service." This error can potentially be fixed by setting the windows system locale settings to a non unicode language such as English. East Asian languages will cause this error. The simplest way to bypass this issue is to use a Virtual Lan (VPN).[citation needed]
