Steam player here. It occurs for me just about everywhere however it’s most prevalent in high player areas/activities such as arena ops, public events/distortion events, alter of sorrow on the moon, any social area on any planet. My DXdiag here : https://pastebin.com/M6kjbTDN

https://pastebin.com/WXtzS4PU Here is my pastebin with dxdiags, I've made other comments/posts with more info. Been getting this issue since last weeks Tuesday patch.

Iron banner suffers a LOT from this issue. I've attatched my pastebin with the DXdiag info.

Steam player here. It occurs for me just about everywhere however it’s most prevalent in high player areas/activities such as arena ops, public events/distortion events, alter of sorrow on the moon, any social area on any planet. Specs: Windows 11 I7-12700k 3090 ti 32gb ddr4 ram

[url]https://pastebin.com/ENFZQDTD[/url] I just bought a new laptop in early 2026. My performance is not on par as to what it probably should be considering the specs of my new laptop. Just strange overall. It's just been a consistent frame drop since the update. Does not matter what game mode I am playing, just anywhere that is not orbit I notice a significant FPS drop. Mostly inconsistent performance overall. I do notice the FPS drops worse when turning the camera or using my mouse instead of controller. Many users have reported that the Windows Store/Epic versions of Destiny 2 don't have the same performance issues as Steam users. My particular GPU usage is WELL below even half of my cards VRAM. It did also seem to be worse in overall open-world areas as well. Just seems strange as I upgraded from my previous laptop to see some type of performance increase, and to get worse performance now than I did previously is unfortunate. Hopefully a fix can be found soon!

Always happening for myself. Regardless of activity I am playing. Frames drop from 80 down to 40 and then to 14 in some instances. [url]https://pastebin.com/TDd46SDq[/url]

1. https://youtu.be/lBpV3_44wbA 2. https://pastebin.com/y062MfMb 3. stutters and inconsistant performance occurs in virtually all content but effects me most in Crucible. However the video I uploaded doesnt show the stutters like they occur on my monitor from my pov. Marathon Runs smooth even with lower AVG framerate. 4. Most noticable in activities with many other players in it or dynamic entities and even lots of stasis in pve. 5. I havent been able to reliably reproduce the issue but it occurs when im panning the camera around with my mouse at medium to high speed. 6. Switching to the Windows store version of D2 seemed to improve performance to an extent but nowhere near what it was in Season Heresy. EDIT: the Windows store version only temporarily reduced stutters. After hoping on for reset the stutters are occuring way more in 6v6.

https://pastebin.com/4ZLJBdAM Ever since this update, I have been experiencing continuous broccoli errors alongside frame drops.

https://pastebin.com/7fiEW9MY https://pastebin.com/V0mrYEum Before the update, I averaged around 140 FPS across most activities. My system was previously averaging around 140 FPS even when the RAM was still running at 2400 MT/s before enabling DOCP In more demanding situations with lots of enemies or effects (such as Onslaught), my FPS would occasionally dip into the low 90s. After the update, I'm now averaging around 80 FPS in areas that previously ran much better. For example, I tested by simply walking around the Moon patrol zone with no public events, bosses, or large groups of enemies, and my average FPS was only around 80. I pasted a short AMP log of it. This issue is my gpu aberage GPU usage is around 60% with a peak of 86% even at the low frame rate. My CPU usage averaged 33% and Peak at 53% so it's not bottlenecking. Display Window Mode: Fullscreen Resolution: 1920 × 1080 V-Sync: Off Framerate Cap: Enabled Framerate Limit: 200 FPS Field of View: 105 Advanced Video Graphics Quality: Custom Anti-Aliasing: Off Screen Space Ambient Occlusion: HDAO Texture Anisotropy: 8x Texture Quality: High Shadow Quality: Low Depth of Field: Off Environment Detail Distance: Low Character Detail Distance: Medium Foliage Detail Distance: Low Foliage Shadows Distance: Medium Light Shafts: Medium Motion Blur: Off Wind Impulse: Off (visible at the bottom of the screenshot) Hardware VRAM Usage: ~2.3 GB / 12.2 GB (well below your GPU's limit)

Having the most issues in Crucible., Area OPs. GPU usage is low in steam. DX Diag https://pastebin.com/gTfUqDjG

Dxdiag: [url]https://pastebin.com/L6ZYrs4f[/url] Framerates have been lower for me on Steam since the update. I also have the game on Epic, and when I play on there, framerates are higher and gameplay is smoother.

Video: https://imgur.com/a/vcOl1F5 DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/TmTFtWx5 Content: moon, altars of sorrow, public event. The moon or where there are more entities, like a vanguard arena ops or blind well are the worst cases for me. i don't have any exact reproduction steps. nothing have resolved this issue for me, i heard it only happends to steam, and im from steam, so i gave up the moment i heard that, i tried getting steam iu off, updating drivers, even cleaning ssd storage space before i knew it was common issue for every one else i knew from steam. btw, before the update i used to have 120 fps stable at least in the same exact place and activity.

As per: https://x.com/A_dmg04/status/2070911039152283650 1. [spoiler]https://youtu.be/Bpl37QZi_4g[/spoiler] (Spolier warning (I guess?), [spoiler]this is like 5 minutes of the final fight with the witness[/spoiler] Average is fine, but you can see a ton of dips on that stat readout at the top.) 2. Running the game on the Nvidia Geforce Now service, on the performance tier. Can't run DxDiag, so Steam information is next best thing. Pastebin -> https://pastebin.com/C8rkWBsu 3. Was playing the "Final Shape" campaign in general, I think it was worse in the open world area with enemies spawned and particle effects. Apparently from my friends, Renegades is also bad, but I will have to check that once I reach it. 4. See 3. 5. I wasn't paying too much attention, but considering how visually busy it was, weapons/abilities that cause plenty of particle effects are a good place to start. 6. Well, I can't really change anything in graphics issues, thank you Nvidia. :/ Keeps resetting on restart, and they keep putting everything on highest setting possible, with frame cap set to 120, and vsync to 60.

Same here on Steam. I notice it's extremely choppy, especially in PvP. It just feels heavy, choppy and sluggish even if the FPS counter says otherwise. EGS feels fine. Ironically half of the frames on PS5 feels like butter in comparison.

DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/xDpSCqrg Its happens in almost all content and outside of content. Constantly experiencing stutters just checking my inventory and and just sitting there in a planets orbit just makes the frames drops. the moment i load into any activity with enemies or abilities or it just drops below 40. i changed almost every setting to low and overclocked my GPU and still cant manage to fix this. hopefully you guys can i would love to continue to play your beautiful game with good frames

1. Video: https://youtu.be/5UzIDrFHmfE // This doesnt come across well on video. I think it's likely a factor of the game dropping from 60fps to ~35fps. 2. DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/6a1mpMkD // I play on Steam, I have attempted disabling Shader Pre-Caching as a reddit post said could solve this, to no avail. 3. Content: I've noticed this primarily in patrol zones, namely Nessus (distorted??? public event), the Moon (distortion event), and Neomuna (Terminal Overload). However, my first notice was during a Lawless Frontier activity during the renegades campaign. 4. Agitation: This primarily seems to happen during combat in patrol zones, as I don't recall this occurring last night when I attempted to complete Encore: Master. This did occur during a Lawless Frontier activity during Renegades' campaign, while I was at exfil and was zoning out firing on the endless spawn of cabal. 5. Reproduction: I do not know what seems to cause it. First was Lawless Frontier, when I was using an SMG to spam Destabilizing Rounds and Grenades with my build. The second instance on Nessus was during a public event that I think *may* have been a distortion? I was playing with my HUD off since I was just goofing around, but I noticed the framerate wasn't as smooth as usual. On the Moon, I was doing the distortion-specific public event. On Neomuna, I was doing Terminal Overload. Notably, I changed my settings from mostly high-max to the low preset, and the framerate was, as far as I can tell, unaffected.

1; imo recording is not useful since others have already posted videos. 2; [url]https://pastebin.com/4XTc4Ns6[/url] 3; i play raids, arena and fireteam ops as well as patrols and solo ops. i usually play gambit too but ever since the issues started i don't wanna mess stuff up for my team mates. 4; this issue is virtually everywhere. most prominent in the current distortion area and during missions with heavy effects on screen. 5; sitting in orbit and then entering either a distortion area or arena ops; the more players are in the same zone the worse it gets. 6; i have tried every single setting in-game; every combination of settings in the nvidia control panel as well as in steam and even my monitor. i tried shutting hdr off, but that didn't help either. my setup; rtx 3070ti, r7 5800x, 64gb ddr4 3200 ram, win11. thanks a lot for working on fixing this issue, despite the stuff going on. it means a lot to your community <3

My DxDiag .. and fps drop and game Crashing after update https://pastebin.com/HwKiuLSd

Steam Windows 11 25H2 26200.8737 AMD 9800X3D 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM Asus Prime RTX 5080 Samsung 990 Pro SSD Dell AW3425DW 3440x1440 240hz Freesync / gsync compatible monitor on HDMI 2.1 port with DSC disabled. I've had very poor framepacing since right around when Edge of Fate was launched. My average FPS is great, but I'm constantly getting micro dips down to as low as 40 fps... Sometimes I'll even see 30s. I've tried just about everything short of a reinstall of windows, but this is happening on two PCs I own that are of different generations and it is happening on my friend's PC as well. It does not matter what resolution I'm running in, if I'm running in a window vs fullscreen, or with things like gsync and vsync on or off. No in game setting seems to matter. [b]1.

[b]4. If you experience this worse when doing specific things or playing specific modes/maps?

[url]https://pastebin.com/jb0irf8a[/url]https://pastebin.com/jb0irf8a 3/4. Following after reset on this past Tuesday, I originally noticed the constant stuttering issues on every map in the Control crucible playlist. It got to the point of being difficult to play, so I attempted to play all other versions of crucible. SRL is the only crucible playlist that does not seem to present a stuttering issue. I have tried all of the Vanguard OPs options and while the problem is a lot rarer for me to see and not nearly as constant as it is in crucible, but it does indeed exist. I understand that me saying "its everywhere" does not help nail it down and I apologize; however, I am genuinely experiencing this issue throughout the game. In Control, my 1% lows are as bad as 73fps when my avg fps is usually around 200-240 in the same mode. 5. I have no reproduction steps. Unfortunately, I simply logged in after the 9.7.0.2 update and was met with the performance issues. Nothing on my system changed between the morning of the update and a few hours after the update aside from updating the game. 6. I have been unable to resolve or mitigate the problem.
