How to Game Crashing on Start up

Recently redownloaded Destiny 2 this week but cannot play the game whatsoever. Whenever I launch the game, it goes into the loading screen where it shows the subclass loading icons but then freezes and nothing happens. PC Specs: Intel i7-8700k 3.7 ghz Gskill Trident 16 gb RAM Nvidia 4070 Samsung 860 Evo 1TB Corsair RM750x 1440p monitor I've tried various methods to try and fix the issue: * Verifying integrity of files * Running on Compatibility mode * Run as Administrator * Deleting cvars files * Updating and reinstalling drivers * Smooth Motion off and Nvidia overlay off * Alt + Tab out of it * Resetting Steam download cache * Checking for Windows Updates * Cleared DirectX shader cache * Trying to optimize setting on Nvidia and resetting * Running DxDiag * Not in steam beta client * Disabling Nvidia Shader Cache size * Do not have over 100 friends * Steam Controller input turned off * Tried Launch options -dx11 and -dx12 * Disabled full screen optimizations Currently deleted and reinstalling to see what happens. Will be checking for BIOS updates if that doesn't work. What else can I do to fix this? I used to play Destiny 2 just fine on this PC along with other games. My final thought would be getting a fresh install of windows 10 at that point but I don't know what else to try.

  • Hello there, Thank you for your detailed report. We understand you're experiencing crashing and/or freezing when starting up Destiny 2. We're sorry to hear of this. So we can effectively investigate, please consider sharing a DxDiag with us. You can copy and paste it over on [url=https://www.pastebin.com]PasteBin [/url]and reply with the viewing link. Please clarify as well whether any error codes present themselves when these crashing/freezing incidents occur. We'll then investigate.

    • When you say "freezes", you mean that the icons actually stop moving or you mean they keep spinning forever?
