Same problem here plz help us

Rainbow Six Vegas 2, when played behind a home router or a firewall, may require special configuration to work properly.

An easy way to make Rainbow Six Vegas 2 work behind your router is to setup your gaming PC as the DMZ. To learn about how to setup your gaming PC as the DMZ, check your router’s documentation.

If you don't want to set your gaming PC as the DMZ, then you'll have to do some special configuration to your router or firewall to make sure all the game’s features work properly.

Here are the ports you'll have to open, or forward.

Login/Matchmaking services:
Outbound TCP 3074 (generally don't need any configuration for this)

Gameplay:
Outbound UDP 3074-3174 (generally don't need any configuration for this)
Inbound UDP 3074-3174 (on a firewall, you must allow inbound traffic on these ports, on a home router with NAT, must forward inbound traffic on these ports to your PC)

Custom Head:
Outbound TCP 10130 (generally don't need any configuration for this)
Inbound TCP 10130 (on a firewall, you must allow inbound traffic on this port, on a home router with NAT, must forward inbound traffic on this port to your PC)

10130 is the default port used by the Custom Head feature. You can change this port in the Extras\Options\Multiplayer menu.

Voice Chat:
Outbound UDP 10140 (generally don't need any configuration for this)
Inbound UDP 10140 (on a firewall, you must allow inbound traffic on this port, on a home router with NAT, must forward inbound traffic on this ports to your PC)

10140 is the default port used by the Voice Chat feature. You can change this port in the Extras\Options\Multiplayer menu.

Same problem EVERYTHING they tell us to do is a lie.

I have a new pc connect to internet no router, no nothing and this piece of crap doesn't work.

UBI CAN SUCK IT. Don't tell the user that its our fault when we explain we are not using any router, any antivirus or anything else disabled everything under the sun and still not working.

Nice support guys, games still broken for some users after a couple years and you have done nothing to address the issue.
