Summary

Rainbow Six Mobile players reported FPS drops, overheating, latency, and hit-registration issues.
Developers are rolling out fixes for tap responsiveness, hit registration, and gameplay stability.
A major performance fix targeting FPS drops and overheating arrives March 24.

Ubisoft has recently released a detailed Rainbow Six Mobile Known Issues Update to tackle performance, gameplay mechanics, and progression problems raised by the community. As more players receive access to the game, the dev team is focusing on stability. The objective is to smoothen the Rainbow Six experience on portable devices.

Performance and iOS Optimization Are the Top Priorities

The biggest R6M problem is pushing the devices' hardware to the limit. Players, especially iOS users, have experienced FPS drops and phone heating issues during long playing times.

The devs formally recognised the issue, and have agreed on a deadline: the update with FPS and overheating fix is coming on March 24th. Apart from hardware heating problems, the gameplay part of the Rainbow Six Mobile issues status update also points out several "feel-based" game features that are currently being changed:

Hit Registration Inconsistencies
Input Lag
Latency

Progression and Ranked Play

For those who like a challenge, the idea of "grinding" is hitting some technical barriers. The devs are still working on uncovering issues around the Ranked system and unlocking Operators in Rainbow Six Mobile.

To be exact:

Ranked Medals: A flaw stopping medals from moving forward is "actively being worked on, " but no firm time has been set.
Operator Pacing: How quickly players can access new Operators so that the progression does not feel like a punishment but a reward will be reviewed.
120 FPS Support: It is one of the top requests; support for high-refresh-rate screens remains in the "investigation" stage as the team tries balancing performance and battery life.
