Destiny 2has been released on PC, finally giving those on the platform a chance to experienceBungie’s first-person shooter series. But although the launch has been met with delight from PC players already trying to make the most of the game, some are finding that bugs and technical issues are hampering the fun.
Bungie states thatDestiny 2PC players may see the following error codes at an “elevated frequency during the PC launch window:” Cabbage, Pineapple, Rutabaga, Newt, Beetle.
There is also a growing number of reports that players using AMD processors - specifically AMD Phenom - are finding that the game keeps crashing after they select their character and log-in.Destiny 2will not run on processors without Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3), which is thought to be the cause of the AMD processor problem, but Bungie says that it is actively investigating the issue.
Some of the more major issues outlined by the developer include:
Given that the PC version of the game is already launching over a month after it released on PS4 and Xbox One, these problems are frustrating, even if they may just be teething issues. Bungie and (PC developer) Vicarious Visions had already promised several PC-specific features, such as theuncapped frame rate and 4K supportso the fact that the game is unplayable for some is certainly a fly in the ointment.
It is at least positive that Bungie is on the case, though, and that it is currently investigating most of the problems that players are experiencing with the game.Destiny 2PC isestimated to sell three million copiesthis year, after all, and so many players will be left disappointed if fast fixes are not in order.
Destiny 2is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
