How are the weekly quests still broken? Can't they just restart the server or something?

I've been idling in Terrorist Hunt for the better part of the last 12 hours and i've got 15k renown out of it so far. Should i use it to buy Buck or Frost to do the weekly once they fix it?

Progress for the weekly is still being tracked on Ubisoft's end. It will eventually update.

Also both Frost and Buck are good.

Support has to know that you've done what they asked. You know how many dumbasses just blaze through instructions without doing them?

This. I'd love to sympathize and potentially offer help, but Berzerker, I'd really like to see your original ticket, since often the issue description/performed troubleshooting will be poorly documented, and/or lied about, as Mans said. (Not saying that's the case for you, but their support team has to check - they can't just take people at their word, when end users go around saying they've implemented the 'fix' properly but are still having isssues. :v:)
Just saying this from an IT support technician's perspective myself, is all - I'm not trying to have a go or anything, I just want to help make their mindset/process clearer to people.

Also today I learned that your challenges can get stuck, I had phantom challenge rewards from last week that hadn't been redeemed properly, they weren't showing up via the overlay but they did show up via the site.

Whenever I tried to add challenges after the first two it would error out until I collected on the old ones.

Yes, go to the club ubisoft thing(quick way from the launcher is to click the little drop down bit with your name on it then click the bigger avatar portrait), click the Siege boxart, then Actions and Challenges and it all works 100% totally fine except for tracking the actual stats which does not seem to be happening still and has me paranoid about whether or not I'm going to get my super cool charm.

Issue has been acknowledged by Epi on reddit so they are working on it it seems.

I'm not talking officially but i wouldn't be surprised if they extend it / give it for free or something. Like they did for the France charm when '' Le 14 Juillet''' 's event took place.

Not that both events are on the same scale but more of the fact that challenges were off during an R6 event.

Edit: The team has determined the source of the error. We are excited to announce that your progress since Tuesday has been saved. We are in the process of manually updating everyone's progress now. This is a lengthy process, and should be completed within the next 12 hours. After your progress has been updated, your Challenges will continue to update in real time.

As previously noted, we are aware that the Weekly Challenges are not properly tracking your progress. We do not have an ETA for a resolution at this time. In light of this, we have made the decision to remove all Weekly Challenges this week.
The Commonwealth Day Challenge, as well as a new set of Weekly Challenges, will make a return at another date in the near future. In addition to returning the Commonwealth Day Challenge to the list of available challenges in the future, we will be doubling the Renown rewards for all challenges that week. In the event that we are not able to double the Renown of the Commonwealth Day Challenge itself, we will include an additional Challenge that will provide the appropriate amount of Renown.
Thank you for your patience.

I agree btw that this kinda thing is super frustrating, but the sad thing is it's also super hard to fix. While I suspect they can make some changes (given resources/time), fundamentally the state of your game and your opponent's game is going to be out of sync by ~100±50ms. So if their knifestrike happened at a given spot/angle and there's data fromy our side saying 'no it was blocked' then they just see the reverse of the current problem - something they swung at that wasn't blocked now is blocked. Network latency is such a brutal thing in some gametypes, especially fighting games.

That said, I do hate how (Somehow no guns are subsonic?!) you never hear the bullets that shoot/kill you, until the replay.

I get killed all the time as blitz, and sometimes I think "Oh it must be one of those netcode kills where I am not facing the right way in time". Nope! Somehow bullets just magically go through his shield sometimes.
