New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on December 27, 2021) follows:
Destiny 2, the FPS MMO developed by Bungie, recently received the 30th Anniversary Pack update, in order to celebrate the three decades of its developer studio.
The update of the game comes with a new dungeon called Grasp of Avarice, the Exotic Rocket Launcher Gjallarhorn weapon, new items, new sets and more.
But, since Destiny 2 received the 30th Anniversary Pack, many players have been reporting performance issues, long load times, and other problems (1, 2, 3).
Destiny 2 long load times, stuttering in menu and performance issues after 30th Anniversary update
According to multiple reports, Destiny 2 is currently suffering from serious performance problems that prevent it from being fully enjoyed.
The exaggeratedly long load times and the stutters when going through the interface options are constant after its most recent update.
There are other issues that reportedly seriously affect in-game performance. Destiny 2 gets stuck, has noticeable FPS drops, and even crashes for some.
Another problem is when I load into activities. I was playing some crucible today and when I loaded in my gun and every single person in the game was invisible for over a minute. I did GoA the other day and got stuck in a load screen for like five minutes, which never happens. Source
Constant menu lagging, menus not loading, game stuttering, crashing, and a slight fps drop. Obviously, something is wrong with the latest patch; the question is, how long is it going to take for you to address it? Source
PC and consoles version reportedly affected
It should be noted that all of the above seems to be affecting all platforms. According to other reports, console gamers are also facing performance problems (1, 2).
Granted I’m on ps4 but I’ve been away for a month (Battlefield, I regret that) and I’ve noticed everything is slower to load, like painfully slow. Is this a known issue or is it just how it is now?
Edit; just to clarify, several comments says it’s happening on pc, ps5 and Xbox too so it’s not just an old gen problem. Source
Bungie is already aware, still no ETA for a fix
The Bungie team is currently aware of the reported bugs. These have already been added to the game’s official list of known bugs. But, there is still no ETA for a fix.
Finally, we will update this article when new related developments emerge. So, stay tuned with us.
