Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Gift Pack

A free map pack that adds Murdertown – Dark, CQB Training – Dark, and Calypso Casino to all Versus modes and Terrorist Hunt (these maps are already included in the Steam version).

It can be downloaded from here.

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]

Issues fixed

Infinite gunfire loop

Instructions[citation needed]
This is a known issue in several Ubisoft games. This may fix it but many users report that it does not.
  1. Download the sound bugfix here.
  2. Backup the original eax.dll in <path-to-game>\Binaries\.
  3. Extract/copy the fixed eax.dll from the bugfix zip to <path-to-game>\Binaries\.
  4. Turn off voice recognition ingame.

Xbox One Controller not detected

Quick and dirty method

Modify PCKellerJoysticks.ini (quick)[9]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\KellerGame\Config\.
  2. Open the PCKellerJoysticks.ini file with Notepad or other text editor.
  3. Under the [Joystick0] section, set VendorID to 1118 and ProductID to 736.
  4. Add UseXInput=true under the ProductID line.
  5. Save the file and launch the game.

Full method

Modify PCKellerJoysticks.ini (full)[10]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\KellerGame\Config\.
