acanadian Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hello, Just wanted to ask if the settings for Destiny 2 have been reviewed? The game recently moved to Steam on October 1st. I'm getting messages in game that it is having trouble contacting their servers. I haven't changes anything since it was on Battle.net.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2019 Just so we can get a better idea for when we test, when do the server messages appear and does anything appear blocked on the map when this happens?

The message would appear randomly across the bottom of the screen. "Unable to contact Destiny 2 Servers...." It was occurring constantly yesterday. Today is hasn't happened as much. There is a chance the issues isn't with any settings on the router. Just trying to provide as much info as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2019 Okay thanks, please continue to monitor it and we'll take a look also. Did anything appear blocked when that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Alex Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I'm downloading the free to play version and i'm gonna test it out today with the Geo-Filter. See if I can get to the bottom of what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to stabilize the game I fired up a VPN connection. After that the game had zero issues. Though I still find it odd that the game was fine prior to Oct 1 when the game was on Battle.net. Now that it is on Steam... seems to me that something has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 Likely because it bypassed a route that was being blocked by the Geo-Filter, still somewhat odd though. Alex will investigate and see what the issue is. It's a completely different platform so they may use different servers for authentication or have added/removed some servers normally used.

I just tried out the Steam version. I'm in the UK, so I set a radius around the USA. It took me a long time to get connected to a Crucible game but eventually I did get connected, and it was all American players. Ping was awful but that's to be expected. So yeah I had ping assist on zero, and I had strict mode on. Worked fine for me, which i'll be honest I wasn't expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Actually the amount of time it's taking to find games is way too long to be considered reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use the geofilter for finding games on PC. It did try it out a long time ago and it did appear to mostly work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acanadian Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 As an update, the number of "Baboon" errors we were receiving has dropped to zero. No longer need to use a VPN connection. I'm thinking that the issue was on their end, unless you've made changes to the Destiny 2 settings used by the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLeePLatED Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I often got kick out out the game back to orbit after update Destiny 2 shadowkeep on my ps4. If i use spectating mode geo filter work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh okay, well since the Destiny update only just came out, it makes sense that there might be some teething errors on the server end. 1 hour ago, SLeePLatED said: I often got kick out out the game back to orbit after update Destiny 2 shadowkeep on my ps4.

While i am on geo-filter page i saw i connected to the people outside my range too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 If you're connected to people outside of your range, that suggests that you might have Ping Assist turned on. If not, do the people outside of your range have a white ring around them? This means they're whitelisted and cannot be blocked. This is because they are essential to run the game correctly. If Ping Assist isn't turned on, you might consider turning it up to 50 or so to allow whatever important servers are being blocked and causing the beaver errors.

Netduma Alex Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Could you try with Strict Mode turned off, we've heard some people are having better luck without Strict Mode after the Shadowkeep update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever tick at strict mode just auto ping assis on, load destiny profile and add range to 3000 km that all. I cannot play any more if in filter mode but spect...mode just work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 20, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2019 Do you see anything blocked when you get those error messages? I've already let the team know to test the game more but any extra information we can get would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
