Rainbow Six Extraction: How to Fix Server Connection Errors

Like most online games these days, a number of co-op shooter Rainbow Six Extraction players are having connection issues on day one. If you’re one of those unlucky Operators, these tricks hopefully will help you fix Rainbow Six Extraction error code DELTA-00001007 or other server connection errors.

1. Check The Server Status

Before you start Googling for fixes and tinkering with your connection, the safest thing to do is to first check whether Rainbow Six Extraction’s servers are currently running or not. Maybe there is sudden maintenance, or you missed out on a routine maintenance announcement.

Simply go to the official Ubisoft Support or Rainbow Six Extraction Twitter account to keep you updated on any news or server-based problems. For console users, you can check each console server status over on status.playstation.com or support.xbox.com. Don’t forget you can also make a support ticket over at Ubisoft.com Support Page to let them know the issue exists.

2. Check Your Device’s Connection

DELTA-00001007 error in Rainbow Six Extraction occurs if the game is unable to communicate with the server. Here’s how you can check if your gaming devices are actually connected to the internet.

PlayStation:

• Open the Settings menu from the home screen.
• Select Network.
• Then choose Test Internet Connection and wait until it finishes.

Xbox:

• Open the guide menu by pressing the Xbox button.
• Select Profile & system.
• Go to Settings, General.
• Open Network settings.
• Pick the Test network connection option and allow it to run.

Windows 10:

• Open the Start menu.
• Select Settings, go to Network & Internet.
• Choose Status.

3. Make Sure Antivirus or Firewall is Not Blocking the Game

On PC, add the Rainbow Six Extraction executable to your antivirus’s whitelist so your antivirus won’t interfere with the game’s connection. And to make sure your firewall isn’t blocking the game:

1. Open Windows Start menu, search for Firewall or Windows Defender Firewall
2. Pick the Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall
3. Look for Rainbow Six Extraction and check both boxes; click OK
4. If you can’t find it, click the Allow another app button, go to your Rainbow Six Extraction installation directory, and click on the R6-Extraction.exe. Check both boxes again.

4. Change Your DNS Address

Usually, your internet service providers (ISP) will assign you to default DNS addresses that don’t need to be changed. However, DNS servers can go down or unknowingly filter/block connections to specific servers, causing connection errors to the Rainbow Six Extraction server. Try changing your DNS server to more common ones like Google’s (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1), for example.

5. Restart Your Modem or Router

A modem or router is still a (tiny) computer — only made to handle a specific task, which is managing your internet connections. And like your console or PC, things can go wrong from time to time. Turning off the device, waiting for 10-30 seconds, and turning it on again might’ve freed it from any crashes, IP conflict between connecting devices, or even overheating. The most basic tech advice usually works the best for that reason.

6. Restart Rainbow Six Extraction and/or Ubisoft Connect

Once you have restarted the modem or router, don’t forget to restart the game as well. Doing that makes sure that Rainbow Six Extraction is now connecting to the new IP address assigned to your system. If you’re on PC, you could also try closing the Ubisoft Connect and/or Epic Games Store app. Personally, sometimes I’ve encountered a connection issue once that was fixed by simply restarting the game launcher, and it might just work for Rainbow Six Extraction as well.

7. Restart Your System

Just like restarting your modem or router, turning off your preferred gaming device — consoles or PC — could also help fix the connection error in Rainbow Six Extraction. There might be any obstructive applications or in-game errors running in the background, and restarting your system should refresh the whole thing.

8. Verify Integrity of the Game Files

For PC users, try to verify the game files. Here’s how to do it in Ubisoft Connect:

1. Go to the Games tab.
2. Select Rainbow Six Extraction.
3. Select Properties on the left-hand side of the game overview.
4. Under Local files, choose Verify files.

9. Use a Different Connection

Simply changing DNS or restarting devices are the most hassle-free effort to troubleshoot any networking errors. Nevertheless, as you already suspect, it may not be enough. If all the previous methods failed, you could ask friends or family members that are using different ISPs if they’re having problems with the game or not. Then, try to get into the game by turning on the hotspot feature on your mobile phone and connecting to it. Compared to streaming movies through Netflix, just playing an online game shouldn’t eat too much of your monthly data limit (if you have it) since you’re not streaming the whole game assets back-and-forth and just downloading-and-uploading packets of small player data.

If your Rainbow Six Extraction doesn’t show you the connection error message while using cellular data, then it’s time to contact your ISP. Your ISP should be able to conduct a complete network analysis, and they might even be able to fix any networking problem you’re encountering from their end. Asking for a static IP address might also help if you have any connection issues with other games as well.
