As we well know, Destiny 2 launches on beta testing starting on August 29th. If you pre-ordered the game though, you will have the chance to start playing the game on August 28th. But before all that, you can download the game right now and set foot in it as soon as it is launched.
You can download the game only on Battle.net. The only thing you should do is to choose the Destiny 2 tab on your Battle.net application and start downloading.
Known Issues:
As expected, the game has many known issues. They are listed below:
- Players may encounter issues when playing the Destiny 2 Beta with drivers that are out of date. Updating drivers to the latest version grants the best experience when playing Destiny 2 on PC.
- The Destiny 2 Beta may not run when installed to a folder with some localized character types in its name (e.g. Greek, Cyrillic, Kanji, etc.). Players should ensure that they install the Beta to a path that does not include these character types, or use the default install location.
- Players may encounter issues when joining the Fireteam of another player on their same local area network. Players who encounter this issue should ensure that they have UPnP enabled in their network settings.
- MSAA is still under development. As such, players may encounter various issues including visual artifacts and performance degradation when using MSAA.
- Multi-GPU support is still in development. Players may encounter issues including visual artifacts and performance impacts when using NVIDIA SLI. AMD Crossfire support is not available in the Destiny 2 PC Beta.
- The Destiny 2 Beta must be launched from Blizzard’s Battle.net app. If players launch the Beta client directly from the executable, they may receive an error message or the Destiny 2 Beta client may become unresponsive. Players who encounter this issue should close the Beta client through the user interface or by pressing Alt+F4, and proceed to launch the Destiny 2 Beta using the “Play” button in the Destiny 2 tab of the Blizzard app.
You may want to tell your experiences on the Feedback Forum of the game after playing it. Don’t forget that they will shape the feature of Destiny 2 and make it possible to get a better polished game on October 24th.
Stay tuned for more fellas!
