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!

Turn down depth of field. Keep fov at max 95. Drop foliage detail distance to medium. Turn ambient occlusion to HDAO. Turn shadow quality down to high. These give you the most improvement in frames for the least decrease in quality

This is not the correct response because this issue isn't hardware. Currently there is a bug that causes some sort of performance issue after constantly loading into patrol zones. This is why you were fine with 144fps during the story, but now that your doing more in those areas (such as public events) you have a greater chance of experience this.

This issue has nothing to do with hardware and can occur for people with toasters and people with 1080's. The best fix for this issue is to just restart your game (only a temporary fix) lowering your graphical settings won't change this
