Disclaimer

This is not a complete list of all known issues, but a targeted list of specific issues.

Vital Information The following callouts contain important information that players should be aware of before logging in to Destiny 2.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • To access Iron Banner, players must reach Guardian Rank 4, complete the Crucible introductory quest, then speak to Lord Saladin and complete the Iron Banner introductory quest.
  • 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.
  • Players progressing through The Final Shape campaign in a fireteam should avoid joining missions in-progress or swapping characters during the campaign to ensure progress is correctly recorded.
  • Players may experience a crash when attempting to reshape a weapon that is no longer present in their inventory. This can be resolved by beginning a craft of a new weapon then backing out.
  • The Micah-10 quest "The Veiled" cannot be completed unless players have completed the first mission of the Beyond Light campaign. This mission is available for all players to complete.

Console

  •

  • There's a rectangle outline, instead of a square, highlighting the Weekly Challenge on the dungeon node.
  • Steps 6 and 9 of the Drowning Labyrinth quest aren't able to be completed by some players. Due to this quest being a fix between character-scoped and account-scoped, if you have an alternate character and make progress on the quest, you need to play on that character to get back into the correct research paper level for your main character.

 

Court of Blades

  • If a fireteam member picks up a Ritual of Greed, it gets removed for other players.
  • Some bosses don't spawn, leading to a soft-lock.

 

The Nether

  • Several lines in each language for Memory of Savathun, Memory of Oryx and Memory of Xivu are cutoff or not played at all.
  • Character names are missing on the upper-right Ghost icon when acquiring a collectible. This issue can be circumvented by pulling out your Ghost, or turning on the "Show Speaker Name" setting in your Settings' Subtitle Options.

  • Tormentors can sometimes get stuck in geometry, blocking progress to complete encounters.

  • The Solar Storm ornament incorrectly stated that it's unique visual effects would work with the Stoicism exotic. It now states that visual effects trigger when wearing the item’s matching Exotic armor. The callout for Pyrogale Gauntlets will be added in a future update.
  • The Warlock Plaguebreaker leg armor sometimes clip through the character's legs.
  • Memento Shaders can be previewed on armor in the Armor Management screen. This is not intended, and Mementos aren't being considered for use on armor.
