This week at Bungie, WE LANDED ON THE MOON!
As with some previous historic trips to the Moon, this one saw a few issues. Our teams remained calm, worked the problem, and hunted down the bugs to restore services.
The biggest issue was caused by game databases not doing their job correctly, which threw a wrench in the machine. Please don’t blame your new friends just joining the community. This was a complex launch that included platform migrations and new ways for players to begin their journey with us. We aren’t afraid of solving tough problems and will continue to hunt down any issues that arise!
Raid Imminent
The Garden of Salvation will open to raiding parties in fewer than 48 hours. At 10 AM PDT on October 5, we will begin the race for World First (drop the ’s—it’s cleaner).
You can learn more details about the World First race here, and Bungie Rewards offers here. First, let’s go over a quick reminder of the rewards at stake.
World First Completion—Championship Belt
Completions within the first 24 Hours—24-Hour Emblem
Completions Before October 15—Raid Jacket Purchase
Completions During Season of the Undying—Raid T-Shirt Purchase
All Completions—Raid Emblem
To the Guardians brave enough to be first to venture back into the Black Garden—we salute you!

Destiny 2 Known Issues
With this week’s launch, we’ve closely monitored for player reports of issues impacting the Destiny 2 experience. Here are the top issues at the time of this writing, straight from our known issues thread:
- Players will not receive the Gate Lord’s Eye at Season Rank 7 if they claim it in an equipment-locked activity.
- If it has been abandoned, the completed “Essence of Anguish” quest step can be reacquired only by unlocking the Lectern of Enchantment.
- The “In Search of Answers” quest step may not appear in a player’s inventory, even after talking with Eris. Please check the postmaster to pick up the quest and continue the campaign.
- If the “Firewall” quest step is dismantled after completing Eris’s weekly bounty, players have to wait a week before they can obtain a new one.
- If the “Luna’s Calling” weekly quest is deleted before collecting rewards and the bounty is reclaimed, players will have to wait a week to complete it.
- Some players who purchase the Shadowkeep Deluxe Edition may not receive all four Season Passes, but may instead receive 1,000 Silver per unredeemed Season. Players may spend this Silver to purchase future seasons through the Seasons tab in the Director menu.
- Players who encounter the error “problem reading game content” on Steam should ensure that they are NOT running Destiny 2 with elevated permissions (for example: do not use “Run as Administrator”). They should also make sure there is NO steam_appid.txt file in their Destiny 2 install directory.
- Players with 300 or more friends on Steam may encounter crashes when launching Destiny 2. Players who encounter this issue can trim their friends list until they are below 300 while we investigate a fix.
- We’re investigating ongoing reports from players regarding issues with PC migration. In the meantime, if possible, players should attempt to retry migration.
Players who encounter other issues not listed in our known issues thread should report them to the #Help forum.
