Ubisoft has released a new update to the Y6S1.3 Patch on the Rainbow Six Siege Test Server, introducing further bug fixes.

Rainbow Six Siege recently received its mid-season Y6S1.3 Patch, which brought some much-needed balancing changes to the game. And now the devs have dropped another update to the Test Server that will solely focus on bug fixes.

The new TS update finally fixes the collision issues on Consulate windows, which prevented players from consistently throwing projectiles through them, as shown by Helbee in this video. Ubisoft also fixed another MMR exploit that players were using to receive double MMR. This exploit required 4 players to leave a ranked match at the start and then rejoin, allowing inconsistent MMR distribution to all the players.
