Frequently Asked Questions - Astrea0014/Throwback-FAQ GitHub Wiki
Welcome to the frequently asked questions page!
Here you can find answers to many questions we on the staff get asked frequently.
General
I do not own Rainbow Six: Siege on Steam, can I download using my Ubisoft/Epic Games account instead?
The simple answer is that you cannot.
The technical answer is that our downloaders use Steam's depot service in order to download old versions of the game from their servers.
In order to get access to the Steam servers, you need a valid Steam account that has a valid license for Rainbow Six: Siege registered to it.
You cannot authorize a connection to the Steam depot servers using a Ubisoft or Epic Games account, just like you cannot log into Steam using your Ubisoft or Epic Games account.
How do I play with other people?
For this question there is a written guide on how to do just that. See Guide: Multiplayer Games with Radmin VPN!
Security
Why does the downloader ask for my Steam account details? Is this safe?
The downloader needs your account details in order to authorize its connection to the Steam servers, where the game is downloaded from.

Why does my antivirus flag many of these files as malicious? Is this safe?
Many of our files are falsely flagged as malicious and they are safe to use.

Is it safe for Radmin VPN to show my IP address to others?
The IP address listed inside of a Radmin VPN network is not your real IP address.

Game Errors
Note: Make sure you have a properly configured antivirus exclusion before trying any of the solutions below.
See Guide: Antivirus Exclusion.
When I launch my game it says steam_api64.dll is blocked?
The most likely cause of this error is launching the wrong file when starting your game.
An example: launching RainbowSix.exe instead of RainbowSix.bat
Make sure that when you launch the batch (.bat) file, you leave it running untouched for up to a minute. It will eventually open your game.
The solution did not fix or apply to my problem?
If you do not have a batch (.bat) file or you keep getting this error, try replacing your crack files. (see Guide: Replacing Crack Files)
"Your install appears to have missing files. Please verify the integrity of your install through Steam."
If you get this error while trying to start your game, you will need to replace your crack files. (see Guide: Replacing Crack Files)
