A quick but super useful tip for game crashes: You can set task manager to always show up on top of other windows. This ensures that task manager will not get pushed back or covered up by the game currently crashed. It has saved me so much headache.

[@DerpyPannycake]

I dont know if Varsity did that but for me even if that was enabled sometimes it still blacked out my screen

[@Saltyoldguy-]

@@DerpyPannycake windows is notoriously horrible dealing with crashes, so I'm sure there are scenarios. That being said, it has never failed for me and has turned game crashes from super headache into a simple inconvenience. Another note, sometimes task manager only prioritizes when in fullscreen.

[@cyberJes]

and if you have multiple monitors you can windows key + shift + arrow to change what screen a window shows up on

[@rarespetrusamartean5433]

for anyone wondering: right click task manager tray icon when it's open -> tick "always on top" if you can't see your taskbar at all by alt tabbing or going to the desktop, press the windows key, that should force it to show up

[@zzflare]

I always keep task manager on my second monitor in case of black screen unalt tabs for the game screen

[@redactedboi8753]

Glad to see you using my hidden Kapkan trap tricks on service when I mentioned them to you. However, I would only put 2 there. Putting 3 is a waste, if they see one, they see them all. 2 will down or kill 75% of operators. The other 25% of operators will be made 1 shot. Put another 2 on bathroom door into service against the cabinets, and the last one on bathroom door to front desk. This essentially makes it impossible for them to push service unless they find them. Allowing everyone to focus on vertical, kitchen and sunrise. I have over 5000 kapkan trap kills. Trust. I got 1502 of those trap kills last season alone.

[@FuKuNPVT]

this happened to me i think year 3 a few times and even in casual and again in like year 5 and i kinda never played first 2 weeks then. it progress to not play rank for the first month and basically now i only play rank with buds rarely and maybe last month to just get like gold to plat with placement for fun, BUT even that with 2.0 is a slog now. I wish they fix this during test sever for more a month and get placement back, ranks are a mess and not really fun.

Oh to fix the game forcing itself to be focused when it crashes you can make task manager force itself to be on top no mater what. I forget what button it is but it helps deal with tarkov crashes as well. So far since my PC is broke and playing on Xbox I'm pretty sure servers are straight up not working.

@VarsityGaming if you have two monitors and your game locks up like that where you can't access task manager because an application takes over the screen, I usually open it with Ctrl + Shift + Esc, then you can hold the windows key and press the arrow keys left or right till the task manager is on your second monitor.

[@dillonreinerie8338]

At this time, Ubisoft Support does not have the ability to remove any automated temporary sanctions, and any lost MMR cannot be returned. You will need to wait out the duration of the ban before being able to play again. If you received an abandon sanction due to disconnecting from an ongoing match unintentionally due to a network issue, or other issue such as a crash or freeze during the match, please update the case with any relevant information so we can best assist in troubleshooting to prevent it happening again! this is what i got after R6 crashed and i needed to restart my PC, i needed some extra info such as a video but without a capturecard thats not possible to get. so i needed to sit out the ban after a crash of the game... and this company things they are working at there best? working at there best to ruin the whole game.
