The first of many updates promised to patch the small problems that make up Rainbow Six Siege has been released by Ubisoft.

The main component of the current game's state that is being addressed by the developers is the fact that some players are intentionally killing their own teammates. Patch 1.01 adds an auto-kick feature to the game to prevent players from doing so. The occurrences of players killing their teammates was present in the beta as well with 1.3% of the matches being affected by the issue, with a growth of 7.8% towards the beta's end. Hopefully the auto-kick feature can put an end to it once and for all!
