Game totally broken for 25% of prior 2 seasons on supported OSes. Unacceptable.

[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/260803758?sort=0&page=0]>>NEWER THREAD HERE<<[/url] ____________ [u][b]The Problem:[/b] [/u] 1. Bungie promises to support Windows 7 every time they take customers' money through Steam. (And also Win 8.1, which may be affected by the current outage.) 2. Bungie did not do [b]ANY[/b] Windows 7 testing prior to release, pushing out updates with "impossible to miss" game-breaking bugs. This serious process failure has now occurred [b]twice in a row[/b]: 2a. The game was unplayable for 24 solid days on Season of the Lost. (Missing DLL error on startup.) 2b. The game is currently unplayable for 28+ days after Witch Queen / Season of the Risen. (All GUIs blank and corrupted, even the title-screen.) This breakage has also caused customers to miss exclusive events such as the Day-1 raid. 3. This comes to 52 days out of 209, or a whopping >25% downtime for customers. [u][b]Demands:[/b] [/u] Even if the current issue is fixed tomorrow, Bungie has already mistreated its customers and burned years of accumulated trust. Customers need to see: 1. [u]Acknowledge[/u] that this level of release-quality and downtime is not acceptable. 2. [u]Promise[/u] to at least do the bare-minimum "smoke test" of future major builds on a Windows 7 machine prior to release. 3. If Bungie will not do #1 and #2, then cease this false-advertising and strike Windows 7 from the supported OS listing on Steam, offering [u]refunds [/u]to affected customers.

  • It is not just Windows 7 having these issues, Windows 8.1 players are also experiencing the same or similar and yet there has been barely any acknowledgement that this is even a problem from Bungie. It would be a different story if the game's System Requirements didn't say that both Win 7 and Win 8.1 are supported. How did this get past play-testing on these "supported" OS? What's more, we also haven't heard a single word of acknowledgement about this issue from any of the Destiny streamers and video makers it seems. I know that I have tried to raise it with a few of them on youtube when they have asked in their vids how players are enjoying the game or if players are experiencing any issues. I'd say that they ignored those comments, but looking at my comment history I can see that at least 4 of those big youtube video creators simply deleted the comment from their comment section even though I was polite and stuck solely to the currently known facts. I don't know what's worse, not being able to play or feeling like we are simply being ignored.
