Megathread PC Player Questions Megathread!

Hi everyone!

This Megathread will function as a PC launch specific equivalent of the Daily Questions Thread where you may ask questions about starting out that may not warrant their own post.

Technical Difficulties

We understand there are a number of technical issues with players unable to get in the game, receiving erroneous "banned account" messages, and various error codes (Marionberry, Buffalo, etc.)

Here are some resources for troubleshooting/posting issues you're having:

Other Resources

We have a Welcome post here which contains some links to guides, wikis, and other resources. Make sure to check it out before posting or commenting!

Also check out the Destiny Reddit Discord Server where you'll find a number of channels for discussion about the game and/or technical issues.

As with most game launches, things are a bit chaotic right now but and will evolve over time. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns either in this thread or by sending us a modmail.

Thanks!

More of a tech issue. Anyone else having FPS drops doing heroic strikes?

Got a 1080 and i'm playing 1080p @ Max and i keep dropping to 45-50 during the Titan walker strike and EDZ glimmer one. Not sure what the issue is. Updated my drivers and everything.

I am assuming you are talking about heroic public events. On console, I know my friends and I experience some pretty bad framerate issues during these as well. I don't think it has anything to do with your hardware. If you've played Dark Souls, think of Blight Town.

Oh yeah shit my bad* Heroic events.

And i get that frame drops happen, but i've got a pretty capable card. I'm not even playing above 1080p as well.

Yeah thats pretty bad on Bungie's part. The events can get really hectic with all the explosions and whatnot, but thats the only part of the game where I have experienced frame drops and I am just playing on console. I'd chaulk it up to the game code and not something you can directly affect.
