PC stability and performance has gotten worse and worse over time with no changes to my PC.

Everything was perfect before Beyond Light, but it's gotten even worse. When I try to log in, the game is slowed down and the little animations of the icons on the character select screen that are supposed to be subtle and quick take like 3 seconds and are choppy. The cursor jerks around affected in a similar fashion. The game takes any excuse to glitch out. Alt Tabbing frequently means a crashed game when I'd been doing it just fine for 3 years beforehand. Loading into an area often means a crash or "reconnecting.." screen, especially if I tab out at any point. If I tab out at all at any point from launching the game to entering orbit, it will most likely not let me tab back in, and will instantly close itself (not even say it's not responding like usual) if I manage to tab back in. Pic related regularly happens whenever I have my inventory open while loading into anywhere (who wants to stare at a loading screen? I should be able to manage my own freaking gear!) I have a 1080ti and have almost always been able to maintain a perfect 4k 60fps. Now, I still get some issues with 2K. Also, not the same issue but the game constantly looks like I have my contrast turned up way way too high everywhere except Europa. This seems like a deliberate choice to try and make Europa "pop" more due to a lot of similar tones in colour, but it seriously hurts to look at. ETA on fixing these issues? I wouldn't have bought Beyond Light if I knew it would be like this. I didn't buy this season due to them, and had considered buying the new season that drops tomorrow until I realised that the issues have actually gotten [i]worse[/i]. Edit: Verified integrity of game files, still nothing. Deleted the game entirely and reinstalled it on a fresh SSD, still nothing. It crashes [i]every single time[/i] I try to load into the helm to see the fallen, without fail. Every single time.

  • there have been changes to your pc. maybe not hardware but definitely software. not only the game getting updated, but windows updates and driver updates for your hardware (you are running those right?). the loading into new areas issue you mention could be the hard drive can't retrieve the data fast enough to load it. maybe it's gotten too fragmented over time, try defragging the hard drive. do you have it on an ssd? it could also indicate some network issue of some kind. you threw a pretty broad net with the issues you mention but it's hard to point to bungie right away or more people would be having these same issues.

    • Upgrade your video drivers and test the integrity of your destiny files. 9/10 this will solve the issue. Also if you lock the FPS to 60 it plays nicer. I too have a GTX1080Ti OC 12GB graphics card and this fixed things for me and family members as well. You don't have to lock the FPS this is optional. If I leave this unlocked the game fries itself from time to time and I end up at the Desktop. This solved a lot of issues for me and haven't seen an error message for a while now and stopped being kicked from NF Strikes and Lost Sectors.

          • Well hopefully it gets even worse so cheaters would give up on the game.

            The optimization and performance in this game gets worse and worse with every patch. In forsaken I was pulling 120-150 fps on a GTX 1060, no issues with performance except for load times because I had the game on an HDD. I upgraded to a 2060 super in shadowkeep and LOST fps, dropping to 100-130 at most, and since beyond light I go as low as 90 and sometimes even 80 with highs being very rarely anything over 120. People say with PCs you pay for the performance which is true in every other game but destiny is the exception, because you have to upgrade your hardware just to keep framerates consistent over the course of time. I have friends who spent 700+ upgrading to 3070s and 3080s just to pull what they used to pull on a 1070. It is ridiculous. The game simply doesnt look good enough to have such bad performance issues, especially considering the performance was at one point significantly better.
