Bungie addresses Destiny 2 server issues with new plan to \u201csteadily improve\u201d stability BungieBungie has addressed the latest server stability issues in Destiny 2 via the TWID blog, revealing new plans to \u201csteadily improve game stability\u201d in the future. Destiny 2 is a game enjoyed by many players all over the world and across many platforms. The looter shooter developed by Bungie is easily one of the biggest long-standing shooters on the market and offers players a variety of gameplay options. From PvP to PvE to even Gambit, there\u2019s a lot of content for players to progress through as they shoot their way through the galaxy. With the release of Lightfall in Destiny 2, we\u2019re nearing the end of the Light and Dark saga, and as such many players have started to pick up the game. As an always online game, the number of players can directly affect the server\u2019s stability, which as of recently has been struggling. Many players have complained about the numerous error codes plaguing the game, which Bungie responded to by briefly shutting down servers to investigate. Now in their most recent developer blog This Week in Destiny, Bungie has addressed these issues and revealed plans to \u201csteadily improve game stability\u201d in the near future and beyond. Destiny 2 developer explains issues with Claims service and server instability As shared in their recent TWID, Bungie addressed the issues players were facing. \u201cLast month, we spoke about the backend upgrades we implemented to prepare for the year of Lightfall, and service stability issues that have recently affected players\u2026However, we\u2019ve identified several issues with those changes that we are working to correct.\u201d The developers then go in-depth speaking about their Claims service, which has caused a fair amount of issues in recency. \u201cAhead of Lightfall\u2019s launch, a few improvements were made to the Claims service. We made updates to some of its underlying communication technology and made changes that allowed Claims to scale out to more servers so that during moments or events of high concurrency, the service could make use of those extra resources and avoid getting bogged down. While the updates achieved our scale goals, we discovered issues around the service\u2019s error recovery functionality.\u201d Unfortunately, if the claims service breaks, this can be the cause of the many error codes that faced Guardians, devs explained. \u201cHowever, despite rigorous testing, the updated system is not always recovering as expected in our live game environment. If these channels are permanently disrupted, this can be one of the causes behind Weasel, Baboon, or other error codes for a large subset of the player base.\u201d Bungie has stated that they\u2019re looking to fix these claims issues but has noted that this won\u2019t be an overnight process. Instead, they shared their plans for server stability for the next two seasons. The developers are aiming to reduce the amount of downtime needed for maintenance throughout Season of the Deep, with a mid-season update targeting their logging system. In the season afterward the developers plan to introduce a large set of improvements to assist in the \u201cself-healing\u201d ability of claims. Alongside this, they also plan to deploy improvements that will help make Destiny 2 services more robust. Bungie closed the section with this statement to players, \u201cWe hope this sheds new light on what\u2019s been causing some recent stability issues, the methods we\u2019re using to track them, what we\u2019re doing to improve game stability in the short\/medium\/long term, and when to expect those updates to go live.\u201d Only time will tell if the actions Bungie has put in place will work in the long run, but it\u2019s good nonetheless to see the developers hard at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
