New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on May 25, 2022) follows:
Released in 2017, Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online multiplayer FPS title developed and published by Bungie. Earlier this year, Sony acquired the gaming studio from Microsoft for $3.6 billion.
Building on its predecessor, Destiny 2 features activities divided into player versus environment and player versus player. Over the years, developers have released several expansion packs that help keep the game fresh.
But like every recently released video game, issues such as the missing Special weapon indicator light and One of Us emblem not showing up in collections have troubled many in the last few weeks.
While the aforementioned bugs may not severely affect the overall experience, Destiny 2 players are now saying that the game is crashing or getting stuck on loading whenever they enter the Tower to buy gears and items from Banshee-44 (1,2,3,4,5).
Common troubleshooting solutions such as switching characters, verifying game files, restarting Steam, and relaunching the game do not seem to help at the moment.
Thankfully, Bungie has acknowledged the issue where Destiny 2 is crashing when entering the Tower to get items and gear from Banshee-44. However, they did not share any ETA of when it will be fixed.
We hope they soon release an update that fixes the crashing issue. As always, we will be keeping tabs on the matter and update this space as and when required so make sure you keep checking PiunikaWeb for more information.
