Update: Thanks for everyone who has replied and given me advice and suggestions, unfortunately Destiny is still crashing. Most recently I did a “reset” of the console by going to: Settings > System > Console Info > Reset > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps. I had mild success with this and I was finally able to successfully load into a destination (the first mission of this season). However, after about 5 minutes of playing it hard crashed my console again. I tried launching Destiny again multiple times and it would begin to crash whenever it tried loading into a destination, just like before. So I’m back to square one. Overnight I’m planning to uninstall Destiny, do another reset of my console, and reinstall Destiny. We’ll see if that has any success…

One week later and I still cannot play Destiny 2—my favorite game. The game still crashes my Xbox Series X whenever I try loading in to the first seasonal mission. I thought for sure it would be fixed with the update at the end of last week, especially when they wrote this line in the TWAB:

We had some Honeydew errors early on, but our team of experts buckled down to commune with our servers and fix the issues so you could get back to playing. Our deepest apologies to anyone who had their gameplay delayed. Check out the Player Support Report below for the latest on any ongoing issues we are tracking.

Despite some hiccups, the Season is in full swing now! Here is a quick look at everything the new Season Pass has to offer.

But, unfortunately not. The bolded line (emphasis mine) was especially frustrating because the season is certainly not in full swing because some of us still can't play the game!

Then I thought there would be no way it would still be broken with the update today (3.2.0.1). Nope, still broken.

I have tried restarting my console, waiting at the title screen for 5 minutes, waiting at character select screen for 5 minutes, waiting in orbit for 5 minutes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Destiny, cleared the "Persistent Storage" in the Blu-Ray settings, powered down and unplugged the console for more than 2 minutes, deleted the Save File. None of these things have helped fix the issue. I have maybe 20 friends on Xbox Live and out of those 20, maybe 5 play Destiny 2, so I wouldn't think it has to do with the issues many people have had with too many friends online playing D2.

I have posted to the Destiny Help Forums on bungie.net. And looking through the console support pages, there does seem to be others out there with similar issues, so I know I'm not alone in this.

I am able to play on Xbox Cloud Streaming, but that is definitely no substitute for playing on my Series X console (especially because of the extreme latency I encounter and the general instability of it at this time).

I am seriously at my wits end here, I don't know what else to do. This is so incredibly frustrating, as I really just want to be able to play the game.

/u/dmg04 and /u/cozmo23 Is the team aware that people are still having issues and are they working to resolve these problems? Can I expect to be able to actually play the game sometime soon? Because I would really like to be able to do so...

Hey, sorry to hear you're hitting this issue. Many thanks for providing that level of detail on what's going on.

Can you post this to the help forums over on Bungie.net, or throw me a link to one that you may have already posted? This gets your info in front of our player support team, and helps us pull account data to see what's going on.
