Severe FPS Regression on Steam After Recent Patch — 300 → 100 FPS

Dear Bungie Team, I am writing to bring to your attention a significant performance issue I have encountered on the Steam version of Destiny 2 following the most recent update. Prior to this update, my system was capable of running the game at approximately 300 FPS with ease under typical gameplay conditions. However, since the update was deployed, my frame rate has dropped drastically to around 100 FPS — a reduction of roughly two-thirds — with no changes made to my hardware configuration, in-game settings, or system software. This level of performance regression is substantial and has noticeably impacted the fluidity and overall gameplay experience. I would like to kindly request that the development team investigate potential causes introduced with the latest patch (e.g., changes to rendering, asset streaming, or background processes) and consider deploying a hotfix or optimization pass at the earliest feasible opportunity. Should you require any additional details — such as system specifications, driver versions, in-game settings, or diagnostic logs — I would be happy to provide them to assist with your investigation. Thank you for your time and for your continued work on Destiny 2. I look forward to a resolution. Best regards, YeagerFPS#4046

    This is Steam issue. I tried everything within Steam I could find like disable overlay, shaders, loggin off from friend list etc. Nothing helped, it just is broken. I switched to Epic Games and bought the licenses for 24 euros, there was nice sale so not bad. Now Destiny 2 works really smooth with no problems at all. If you can afford the 20 euros, i suggest to make change from steam to epic games, with cross save you can keep your char, guns, armor and everything. You just need to buy licenses again for paid content and to be able to play trials etc.

    • It was probably a trade for Bungie: a bigger vault and bring old updated content back, etc. OR a higher frame rate and less lag.

    • Just let them know its affecting your Eververse experience and they may-and I mean it loosely- may try to fix it faster. I mean a janitor can only do so much!

    • Bungie knows this is an issue, and are still trying to figure it out. When will the fix come out? Who knows :/
