[2020] Bungie Please Fix Iron Banner On PC

This issue was identified not long after the release of 6v6 Iron Banner and the impact felt by all, however the cause of the long match start times and conditions under which it would happen eluded us for many weeks. During the last Iron Banner we were able to finally nail down the conditions under which it would happen and have since been able to fix the underlying issues that caused this bug.

I wish I had a really great work-around for you at the moment, but ultimately the only mitigation for the average player until 1.2.1.0 is released is to group with friends and try to match ships, sparrows, ghosts, weapons, etc as best you can. While unintuitive, players frequently encountering Beet and Kale can improve the situation for everybody by adjusting their texture quality settings to medium or high (assuming they have the VRAM that is able to accommodate).

See the mention of Beet and Kale on the following post:

Keep in mind, this might improve your chances of getting into the game but it won't prevent the long loading times in general as any single player experiencing this issue will cause the long load time for everybody.
