However, if the issue escalates, turn the overlay feature back on.

Move on to the next fix if theres no positive outcome.

This particular method worked for me and many of my friends.

Below is the process to set discord priority to high:

Reboot your rig.

Launch Discord and Rainbow Six Siege, and voice chat difficulties will be gone.

Windows restricts the apps functionality when it sees no validation by the administrator.

That is, to prevent any violation and harm to the system.

Having said that, the fix is unimaginably simple.

Just launch the Discord app as an administrator and disable full-screen optimization.

To run Discord as an admin and disable full-screen optimization:

To save the changes, hitApplyand clickOK.

Now, re-launch Discord and verify if everything is in order.

At least, thats been the case for hundreds of users.

Though Im happy to report that a simple tweak in the game parameters can fix it quite easily.

To modify VSync in R6 Siege:

Fixating the FPS as low as 75 is not ideal for online shooters.

But this happens to fix discord compatibility issues with R6 Siege.

r6-siege-configuration-file

Discord is no exception.

Consequently, this file gets blocked, and Discord does not behave properly.

So before you opt to dive into a gaming session, ensure to turn off the antivirus momentarily.

limit-r6-siege-fps

To disable antivirus temporarily:

Disable a third-party antivirus program from the Task Manager if its applicable.

Open Discord again, and all the functionalities should be in order.

Ending Remarks

Happy Gaming!
