Hey there! I'm here to remind Bungie of an issue that has been plaguing me (and presumably many others) ever since I started playing the game in around 2019 and also to ask for possible alternate workarounds regarding the issue. Here's the issue: Because I have a high friend count on Steam [i](currently at 746)[/i], I get a small stutter roughly every 2 seconds, making the game borderline unplayable. This is presumably caused by some kind of check the game does regularly to see if any of my friends are playing the game. I have since found out that setting Steam to offline mode will remove this issue. However, I would prefer to not have to be in offline mode on Steam in order to enjoy the game. The issue happens everywhere within the game menus. I have only noticed this issue happening in Destiny 2. Has anyone figured out a possible workaround for this issue that doesn't involve going into offline mode on Steam, removing/blocking most of my Steam friends, or playing on a different account? And more importantly, will Bungie ever fix this issue, which has been around presumably since the game's release on Steam?
