  • Steam is suffering worse than other platforms like epic and xbox, much much worse, but this performance has been pretty typical for me since EoF. [b]PLEASE BRING BACK EXCLUSIVE FULLSCREEN.[/b] There was no reason to remove it. Ever since its been removed the game has been total jank for me on every platform. Raids, crucible , anything where I actually have to hit my shots is unplayable and unfortunately its looking like the easiest fix to this issue is being overlooked. If you want to fix >60% of the playerbases performance issues (frame pacing, stutters, mouse lag etc.) just add exclusive fullscreen back. Its a no brainer and makes no sense as to why it was removed in the first place.

  • Dxdiag: https://pastebin.com/5KJ0dD9C Problem is ''simple'' since yesterday (13/07/2026) when i launch the game on steam my whole PC start to stutter/lag horribly ( less than10fps) and only with this game. I've tried other, more resource-intensive games but haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I've reinstalled it and cleared the caches, but nothing helps

  • Can we please fix the stuttering and performance issues for pc on steam before we shutdown and walk away from Destiny. How are u going to be proud of the game you spent a decade on when you leave its final resting place in a state that is unplayable. framerate drops, stuttering and skips, crashes, lag, etc. bad enough u left the pvp sandbox in the worst state with .01 ttks and broken weapons and builds

  • Hello, I would like to report my own personal finding regarding this issue. This matches the pattern already listed on Bungie's own Known Issues page ("investigating reports of frame hitches or performance drops while playing Destiny 2 on Steam since the release of Update 9.7.0.2"). Adding this report as a data point with frame-level diagnostic data attached in case it helps narrow down the specific stall - happy to share the raw PresentMon CSVs if useful.

    I can confirm that this is STEAM issue ONLY. Tried every possible updating, deleting drivers etc, updating bios and every damn steam disable controller, overlay, delete shaders etc, nothing helped. Then I enabled cross save within bungie account and downloaded Destiny 2 trough Epic games and man the game works SMOOTH again in PVE and PVP both. If you do the switch you dont loose your character and the progress if you enable the cross save, all gear, god roll weapons etc are with you. The minus thing is that you need to buy licenses again if you wanna play Trials etc. Renegades is onyl 20 euros anyways so not a big money for good game. 69 euros if you want all, not expensive either. I made the switch and can now enjoy again. Wouldnt keep my hopes high that steam gets fixed anytime soon so. I am on older PC with Ryzen 5 CPU and RX 580 GPU, but still Destiny has worked smoothly with low/med settings. Within the update 9.7.0.2 these major stutters and fps losses started. This all with steam, not with epic games.

    • Something I've realized: after the patch on wednesday, performance on Steam went back to normal, but now it's once again tanking. Are you guys still working to fix this issue?

    • 1. No video, but I have an RTX 4090 mobile with 14900hx 2. https://pastebin.com/Wd1mWEaG 3/4. Frame drops into the 60-70 range on the Moon, 6-player activities, Europa, Neptune, and even the Tower. I normally run between 120 and 200fps in these locations. 5. No, it just happens all over the game to be honest. 6. No resolution as of yet.

    • Epic version runs smooth, and stabler fps.. still not ideal like in the past, but normal.. New event is also "ok" there. Lowest I saw was 90-100fps, on steam 50-60fps in same scenario. The engine needs some more cpu optimization on top of steam fix.

    • 1. No video able to be recorded 2. https://pastebin.com/R85UqvWM 3. usually have my framerate capped at 80-100 and never have fps drops, since the Iron banner update everything I do in game including all activities, opening and transitioning between menus like inventory, directory and vault all now tank fps to >40 FPS. 4. experience it the most when playing +4 player activities such as Crucible, Gambit, Arena ops and Raids. 5. No specific changes or alterations have been made since post update yet still getting tanking to the fps in nearly everything now. 6. Ive tried updating my drivers, rolling back updates, updating and rolling back windows updates, tried lowering my graphics settings in game to the lowest with still no changes.

    • 1. No video, as I'm unsure what is needed to be captured. 2. https://pastebin.com/PswU8hbc 3.Any type of content. Fireteam ops, Raids, Destination, Lost Sector, PvP, Tower, Gambit 4. N/A, as it occurs all the time in all activities no matter what in game settings the game is put on. 5. Load into an activity like patrol cosmodrome. Go to the daily lost sector. interact with the flag. FPS will now have been lowered by 30fps. This occurs when locking framerate to 3 frames under my monitor's hz (this case 144hz, so 141). Unlocked sees the same dip, but not always. 6. I've tried updating nvidia drivers, mobo drivers, windows updates, I've tested on highest settings, tested on lowest settings, tested on windowed mode and fullscreen. Issue still persists. I wish you could add back the exclusive fullscreen, as that had the game running better compared to borderless fullscreen that you changed it for..

    • Started a new topic: Game is crashing now more than ever

    • I was hit with this steam client bug on 7/3/2026. DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/zMDyXgiE I was starting the third mission in the Oblation series and my whole system lagged out really bad for almost a minute and then recovered. After that I noticed, my gameplay was starting to get a bit choppy. Later that evening, after the mission, we went to the tower and I noticed my camera movement felt very hitchy and not smooth at all, almost like it was skipping 2/3 frames as I would pan my camera around. Jumped into an Iron Banner match and it was unplayable. Every engagement was a chopfest felt like it was dropping to sub 10 fps. Up to this point 2 days ago I had been playing the Steam version of the game totally fine, perfectly smooth, no frame rate issues. Unfortunately, I do not have any video to share. I spent the rest of the evening and early yesterday morning trying to find a solution. Updating video drivers, disabling overlays and all of the steam settings DMG recommended on Twitter. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Rebooting. And yes the pc is plugged in. Nothing worked. The only real solution I have found is, I uninstalled the Steam version of the game and installed it from the Xbox store, and that solved the problem. I'm back to solid 120 fps smooth as silk. Tried the Steam version again still laggy, Xbox still fine. The bad thing is I don't own any of the expansions on Xbox and Steam is unplayable for me, so I guess I'll have to drop another 60 bucks to buy it all again?

      • 1.Share a video 1.1.Video - https://youtu.be/77MaWhIvETk 1.2.My in-game settings - https://imgur.com/a/svYYAnM 2.Share your DxDiag - https://pastebin.com/pn6HMWbC 3.Explain what type of content you're playing: everywhere but most notable in Crucible or situations with 6+ players around. 4. If you experience this worse when doing specific things or playing specific modes/maps: Crucible 6v6 matches, on smaller or medium maps where encounters vs other players are more often. Usually when moving and trying to perform something that changes my PoV - direction, swapping weapon or ADS. For example slide+ADS or mouse flick. Also when I spawn in after being killed (not to be confused by wait time, I'm talking about fps drop). Also during encounters vs other players - trying to do the same - change weapon or use ability. 5. Any Reproduction Steps: None that I'm aware of, but I need to clarify couple of things. Reduced CPU boost to 4.1 Ghz and GPU power limit to 90% and 79 C temperature limit since it's summer over here and I want to reduce the heat in my room. In general I am aware that my CPU is old and is most likely the bottleneck paired with the slow RAM. However I used to get between 80-100 fps in Crucible 6v6, now as you see in the video I can't hit even 90 and the frames drop to 50-60 or even 40 sometimes. Because for example I'm playing BO7 on the same machine and while I noticed some issues after the "reduce heat" tuning, overall the game is much more stable. My internal feeling is that the CPU can't handle situations where I meet players with equally big inventory and many exotics in it - why? Because on my second account where I have less items in my Vault and generally face players which also probably have less items, the frame rate seems a bit more stable. On top of that there are some abilities and gear, which probably further increase the strain over the CPU... or could be the other way around, I don't know. All I know is that the game felt more smooth before MoT update. One last note - when I tried to cap my frames to 60, the drops just began to feel like stuttering. 6. Any information or steps you performed that resolved this issue for you: None. Lowering my resolution from 1440p to 1080 didn't help - it just only increased my max FPS, but the low FPS is still there and overall the game doesn't feel smooth. Finally I realize how awful is the situation for you guys, so even you can't find a fix, know that I'm still grateful and D2 provided one of my best gaming moments overall.

      • My version of events Before the issues happened, Stable 85 - 120 FPS since this game tends to be chaotic DXDiag: https://pastebin.com/KrJQYZWS Since the update (the iron banner patch) - Anywhere i go my game tend to tank up for 45 FPS when things get chaotic, giving me massive stutters, even in the tower while selecting loadouts i tank under 60 for some reason or an other The most painful for me is while doing strikes, any of them with the chaos ends up being a miserable experience.

      • To add to my info - Dungeon, prophecy was ok, 90% of the time, only right by final boss it had typical 100-110fps drops, looked like some npc animation cpu issue. - lawles frontier basecamp was ok, -Cosmodrome also ok -EDZ with new live event was ~100-120fps and jittery, so it's something with new event too. - tower is mixed bag, has more fps drops then not. Im forcing driver vsync, driver fps limiter doesnt work anymore *fullscreen optimizations off in windows, *new beta steam app ingame vsync and fps limiter have issues and cause extra negative fps drops Traversal framepacing stutters seem to be gone.

        • DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/kcMXKBjr Not sure why, but since the update, stuttering would start automatically whenever I enter crucible. whenever the match ends, everything goes back to normal. I have been playing Iron Banner consistently the last week, and I noticed this on each map in both mods (eruption and control). I noticed some stuttering in other pve modes, but the pvp one is weirdly consistent. Thank you

        • Turning off steam overlay does nothing. Ive had it off forver. Removing proper exclusive fullscreen destroyed the frame pacing and the latest update nail in the coffin to it. Used to be locked 240. EoF and removal of exclusive fullscreen saw poor frame pacing and the last tuesday update has destroyed fps and 1% lows.

            • Team I'm sure you're aware at this point the frame pacing issue is only on steam. Someone else mentioned it but the very least you guys could do is allow DLC to be played on any cross progression platform so or at the very least Xbox / Epic so steam users can can switch and continue to enjoy the game. Thank you.

                Dear Team, I've seen there's no mention of this issue in today's patch notes, this is still happening and making the game unplayable at times. If no ETA on when or if this will be fixed, can the option to transfer our DLCs to other platforms (at no cost..e.g Free of charge) be opened up as a solution - so we can move to either Epic or Windows (Xbox) platforms to play the game without huge framerate drops. Cheers.

                • https://youtu.be/JrvI-TRovBw https://pastebin.com/UgHPKbki This issue seems to only affecting Steam. No issues on Epic games. I notice these issues more when Im in any PVP mode.
