Vital Information The following callouts contain important information that players should be aware of before logging in to Destiny 2.

Players progressing through the Renegades campaign in a fireteam should avoid joining missions in-progress or swapping characters during the campaign to ensure progress is correctly recorded.
Season Passes will be applied to the first account that signs in. If you plan to Cross Save but will use another character set, it's recommended to set up Cross Save before logging in. For more information, click here.
Changing the platform setting "Others can communicate w/ voice, text, or invites" does not take effect until the game has been restarted.
Players running Destiny with an integrated graphics card may encounter gameplay performance issues if the integrated graphics card does not meet the minimum required PC specs.
- Laptops with Intel 12th generation Iris integrated graphics may crash in high-demand environments. Players can mitigate these crashes by ensuring Windows 10 is set to use only discrete graphics when running Destiny 2 via Windows->Settings->Graphics Settings, and selecting "High Performance" for Destiny 2.
Players using the PlayStation 4 version of Destiny 2 who receive BOAR errors should ensure that they have successfully downloaded the necessary Compatibility Files prior to entering the game.
Epic Games Store players receiving "Time Skew Maxed" and RUTABEGA errors may need to update their launcher. If this doesn't help, players may have to press the Escape Key repeatedly after selecting a character to skip the opening cinematic.
