Destiny 2 will not launch following Update 9.7.0. When clicking Play in Steam, the BattlEye launcher appears and shows "Launching Destiny 2", but the game never opens. Steam shows me as in-game and Task Manager shows a Destiny2.exe process running at near-zero utilisation, but no game window appears. This issue began after updating to 9.7.0 yesterday. Troubleshooting steps already completed: - Cleared Steam download cache - Verified integrity of game files - Full uninstall and reinstall of Destiny 2 - Ran Steam and Destiny 2 as Administrator - Manually uninstalled and reinstalled BattlEye via Install_BattlEye.bat - Killed all Destiny2.exe and BattlEye processes before each launch attempt - Checked BattlEye service in services.msc (set to Manual, not Disabled) - Added Destiny 2 folder and BattlEye executables to Windows Defender exclusions - Checked Windows Defender Protection History for quarantined files (none found) - Checked C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye for permission issues - Disabled Smart App Control in Windows Security settings - Disabled IPv6 on router - Ran SFC /scannow — corrupt system files were found and repaired - Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth — completed successfully - Restarted PC after all steps above No third-party antivirus is installed. Using Windows Defender only. Wired internet connection. No VPN. Event Viewer showed no relevant errors from BattlEye or Destiny 2 around launch attempts. Please advise.
