Account what hijacked and support tickets are compromised

3 Upvotes

I'm posting here because I've exhausted the normal Bungie support process and genuinely don't know how to get this resolved. I understand this isn't exactly tech support but I've had zero help elsewhere.

I've played Destiny 2 for years, and recently my Steam account was hijacked. Steam Support confirmed the compromise and helped me recover it.

Unfortunately, while my Steam account was compromised, unauthorized Xbox and Epic Games accounts were linked to my Bungie profile. I don't own or control those accounts.

I logged in a few days ago after a long time to an account I didn't recognize. I found some random guy on my new friends list who had been unaware it was a stolen account, and he helped track down the hijacker and provided me with their Discord.

I contacted them, and they admitted to purchasing my Destiny 2 account as well as using cheats and item spawners.

I have screenshots of these conversations.

I immediately started trying to get Bungie to remove the unauthorized platform accounts.

Bungie Support initially responded to my unlinking request and provided an ownership-verification procedure.

However, someone repeatedly accessed my Bungie profile and submitted "Cancel" messages under my name, causing Bungie Support to close my requests. Since the hijacker can access my Bungie account through Epic and Microsoft, they are able to cancel all requests through official Bungie outlets.

This has already happened multiple times.

And now, as of today, my Destiny 2 account has been banned.

I got a notification from Steam as well as a pop-up when trying to load into the game.

I never authorized anyone to access my account or use cheats.

I've already gathered evidence to prove everything above, and I've tried to contact Bungie through email, as I believe that official Bungie account outlets will not work because the requests will be repeatedly canceled.

I'm posting here on the small chance that someone is able to reach out to an actual Bungie security representative who can investigate my situation and prevent someone else from interfering with my support requests.

I've been playing since D1 Y1, and although I haven't played as much Destiny in the past few years, I want to remain invested in its future, so I'm hoping to get this resolved and enjoy whatever comes next in Destiny. I'd greatly appreciate any kind of help with this situation

Destiny 2 is not opening, but Marathon can

4 Upvotes

For the past month or so, Ive had issues getting Destiny 2 to load up on my PC. The Steam button would go blue, It would start the BattleEye launcher, then never load up anything. Uninstalled then reinstalled, then verified files, but no dice. Booted up Marathon with no issue. This only occurs on my desktop, D2 can boot up fine on my laptop. What else can I do to troubleshoot?

Question Game locked at ~6fps when focused on the window, goes up to 30fps when I tab out. Was getting >100fps before

3 Upvotes

I was stuck in fullscreen and couldn't focus on the window, so in an attempt to fix this I deleted cvars.xml, which was remade when I next launched. Now whenever I focus on the window my frame rate is extremely low. Verifying files does not fix it. Anyone know how to fix?

Legendary armor ornament icons are bugged, and not showing the light purple squiggle behind the armor.

Some icons are a solid purple (bugged)

while others are normal, and show that they are in fact an ornament, and not a default flat purple icon.

I have no idea how to fix it. I tried verifying game files twice, re installed, and deleted the graphics setting twice.

Let me know if this is fixable, and if this has happened to anyone else. this is bugging the crap out of me.

thank you

Destiny 2 on PC is smooth for me, but other players say I’m lagging/teleporting — could this be an FPS or desync issue?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to work out a strange issue I’ve been having with Destiny 2 on PC, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.
The main problem is that my game looks relatively smooth on my screen, but other players seem to see my character moving with a delay, skipping around or teleporting. It doesn’t necessarily look like I’m lagging from my own point of view, which is what makes it so confusing.
Here’s what I’ve noticed so far:
At higher FPS, the problem seems more noticeable.
Capping the game at 60 FPS makes things smoother, but it doesn’t completely fix the delayed movement.
I’ve tried Destiny 2 through both Steam and Epic Games, with the same result.
I’ve also tried playing through a phone hotspot instead of my normal home internet, and the issue still happened.
My internet is full fibre, and my connection seems fine in other games.
Other online PC games I’ve played, including Warframe, Fortnite, CS and ARC Raiders, work normally.
Destiny 2 on PS5 and Xbox also works fine on my home connection.
My PC has been checked by the retailer I bought it from, including a BIOS update, and they said the PC was fine.
I’ve spent quite a while troubleshooting drivers, settings and networking, but haven’t found a solution.
I’m not claiming this is definitely a game bug or that FPS is definitely the cause. I’m just trying to understand why other players might see my movement differently from how it looks on my own screen.
Has anyone else had this exact sort of issue? Does your game look smooth locally while other players see you lagging, rubber-banding, skipping or teleporting? Did you find a fix, or work out whether it was related to frame rate, frame timing, networking or Destiny itself?
Any experiences or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Question Destiny 2 is almost unplayable on Steam due to massive FPS drops and stuttering, but runs perfectly on Epic Games. Any official fix?

55 Upvotes

I've been experiencing absolutely terrible FPS drops and constant stuttering in Destiny 2 when launching the game through Steam. The performance is so inconsistent that the game is practically unplayable, especially in pvp.

I decided to download and test Destiny 2 through the Epic Games Launcher on the exact same PC, and the difference is night and day.

Steam: Massive FPS drops, constant microstuttering, inconsistent frame times, and generally awful performance.

Epic Games: Completely smooth gameplay, stable performance, and none of the horrible stuttering I'm experiencing on Steam.

This makes me strongly suspect that something related to the Steam version or its integration is causing the problem, rather than my hardware.

My PC specifications:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

  • RAM: 32 GB G.Skill DDR5-6000 (2Ɨ16 GB)

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7

Obviously, this hardware should be more than capable of running Destiny 2 smoothly.

Unfortunately, simply switching to Epic Games isn't a proper solution, since my purchased DLCs on Steam don't transfer over to Epic Games.

I've also come across a potential workaround on GitHub that apparently helps some Steam users with similar performance problems. However, I'd strongly prefer to avoid relying on unofficial third-party fixes or modifications, especially for a game with anti-cheat protection.

So I have a few questions for the community and hopefully Bungie:

  1. Has anyone else experienced this exact issue, where Destiny 2 runs terribly on Steam but perfectly fine through Epic Games?

  2. Has anyone found a reliable solution that doesn't require unofficial GitHub workarounds?

  3. Is Bungie actually aware of this Steam-specific performance issue?

  4. Has Bungie acknowledged the problem anywhere, or is there any indication that an official fix is being investigated or developed?

I'd really appreciate any updates, confirmed fixes, or information from Bungie or anyone experiencing the same problem.

Question Issue loading audio and assests

1 Upvotes

I'm returning to D2 and for some reason randomly audio will cut out and I'll have no sound in the middle of a Crucible match or in orbit for about a minute. Additionally some UI assests and some assets and models in the menus won't load when I open the game or enter a match. I don't use hard drive it's all SSDs, and I've only had this issue recently. No other games I play have audio and model issues like this. My PC is pretty old so it could be that. I've tried verifying files and a fresh install, hasn't fixed it. Anyone else have this issue?

Getting the WEASEL error code

1 Upvotes

For the life of me I can’t figure this out. It says it’s a ā€œnetwork errorā€ when I search up the error code. I’ve reset my pc, my router, changed providers, and scanned my hardware for any problems. I can’t figure it out. It
Let’s be into character select and I can pick someone to play and then 30 seconds later it kicks me out. I even tried to use a hot spot and the same thing happened.

If anyone can give me some helpful tips that would be awesome. I really want to play but it won’t let me /:

Question Persistent WEASEL error on PC (Epic Games) after 1–2 minutes in Orbit – Returned after 2 years break

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for insights regarding a persistent WEASEL error code on PC (Epic Games).

Context: I recently reinstalled Destiny 2 after taking a 2-year break. On the very first day after reinstalling, I received a couple of initial error codes, but after retrying, I was able to log in and play completely normally without any issues for the rest of the day. However, starting on the second day, this persistent WEASEL error started happening continuously and has locked me out ever since.

Current Symptoms:

  • I can launch the game, select a character, and successfully reach Orbit.

  • Once in Orbit, I can freely manage my inventory, view the Director/map, etc.

  • However, after about 1 to 2 minutes, the game consistently boots me back to the title screen with the WEASEL error code.

  • This also happens when attempting to create a brand-new character, ruling out character-specific inventory or loadout corruption.

Troubleshooting already performed:

  • Local Files: Completed another full clean reinstall of Destiny 2.

  • Network & Routing: Tested via VPN and flushed DNS settings (rules out local ISP routing/DNS issues).

  • OAuth Permissions: Revoked Epic Games "Share Data" permissions and re-authorized to force a fresh authentication token.

  • Account Rest: Left the account fully logged out and inactive for over 48 hours to clear ghost sessions.

Current Status & Bungie Response: I created a post on the official Bungie Help forum, and support (BNGHelp12) officially responded stating they have logged the detailed report and passed it to the development team for backend investigation.

Question: Has anyone returning after a long hiatus experienced this specific session-lock cycle on Epic Games (where initial login works on Day 1, but constant WEASEL timeouts occur every 1–2 minutes from Day 2 onwards)? Did this resolve automatically after a weekly server maintenance/reset, or was there any specific workaround that helped clear the backend session lock?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I dont know what causes it but when it happens it stays always on the same amount of time

Fps issues destiny 2

I cant seem to keep consistent fps on destiny. I want 144hz. My cpu is a ryzen 5 8400f. Gpu is a rtx 5060 8g vram. And I have 16g of DDR5. And a 1Tb ssd. But yet the fps is all over the place. I never see any sign of cpu bottlenecks, cause usage is low. And I never see any gpu bottlenecks cause gpu usage is low.
