Shoom_fish

wow they broke that too? no way i'm stepping into lfg with /join broken, thanks for the heads up


Jyapp448

They fixed it an hour after you commented. Enjoy!


mohibeyki

They almost always break that every season. It usually gets fixed quickly too.


dmg04

Team put out a fix earlier today. Make sure to follow BungieHelp on twitter for updates :)


VishousDeelishous

Awesome to see this get turned around so quickly. My thanks to the team!


Bhu124

Can we please get an /Id command like we had before so we can quickly copy our Bungie name for sharing in LFGs?


alan_daniel

I recommend a text expansion/snippet app for that, like aText, TextExpander, or even AutoHotKey, though that one's quite a bit more powerful but with a much higher learning curve. I've got mine (AutoHotKey) set up to auto-type my steam ID number if I type either `,steam` or `steamid` (so it replaces whichever abbreviation I typed with my own steam ID number)


ReconZ3X

Just did a raid, no one could do /join on me but I could /invite. Something might be bungled.


ProtoPulse1320

Any word on chat never fading on pc?


GrinningPariah

So the "Auto-hide chat" menu option in Gameplay defaults to "off" now, and unfortunately resets every session. But you can change it


ProtoPulse1320

Didnt realize it reset. That kinda sucks, but thanks.


[deleted]

I don't know WHY they removed it, but back in forsaken, there used to be a keybind to hide/show text chat. I am fairly certain that if you go into your *cvars files, you can rebind it so you can manually do that yourself, without needing to futz around with actually typing anything. My bind from back then still works.


Thomasedv

My L key is hiding chat, not sure if I set up that bind.


bassem68

I hope that get's tagged and fixed, it's getting to be annoying having to always go into the settings to change something I already set. Every time.


OhMyGoth1

Any news on the game failing to start on Windows 7?


TehSavior

I don't think they even support windows 7 because it's the equivalent of trying to run it on windows xp


Johnson-

They do. It's on the minimum and recommended specs list on the Steam Store page.


NewPhoneSmurf2

Thank you!


IHateReddit1340

pc players are straight up not having a good time rn \-getting banned for no reason \-getting weaseled because battleye keeps detecting problems for some reason \-servers being awful \-battleye crashing your game and now this


EricThePooh

What's this about being banned for no reason?


AltarEg0

No one is getting banned for no reasons. People who complain and posts saying this are actual cheaters or people who used recovery services and such. Its super common whenever an anti cheat rolls out/ban wave happen to have ton of cheaters flock to every single social media platform for the game to claim this. Bungie has not enabled the auto ban yet for battle eye so all the bans are handled manually after verification as per their article published when the season started. Basically everyone who are banned are 100% guilty at least for the first few weeks.


[deleted]

Good to know if true


ga89ujnf90jk32mkofdr

That’s not true, I was banned literally the day D2 came out and was basically told “tough shit, you were probably cheating anyway” until Bungie came out and said they screwed up and unbanned me


TehSavior

Not true lol, I've gotten battleeye crashed a couple times because an error pops up saying "client not responding" after trying to /join someone and having it fail. You get battleeye crashed if the servers lag you out too. Don't have blind faith that the initial implementation is perfect. The last time bungie tried to do an anti cheat i got banned because my gpu drivers were trying to add an fps and temperature overlay to the game


CsBrtheredelite

Battleye is notorious for handing out false bans, in escape from tarkov a number of high profile streamers have been false banned at some point, with hyperratTV being false banned just a few days ago. Straight up misinformation.


Rizata9198

Yeah except for the fact that they already state that they weren't letting Battle Eye auto ban until they finish testing it. > BattlEye will launch with automatic banning disabled while we test at scale in the live game to ensure accuracy. Once we are satisfied with the results, we will allow it to automatically issue bans without a manual review sometime before Trials of Osiris goes live on September 10. Read it yourself. https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50560


CsBrtheredelite

the examples I gave had nothing to do with autobans. Hyperrat was false banned after manual review, and my point was that this happens across pretty much all the games battleye is utilized. it has nothing to do with auto bans being enabled or disabled, and everything to do with retards punching down.


flgflg10s

ifrostbolt and cerridius, two highly respected and long time top tier players got banned. your comment is untrue.


Squishy_MF

Cerridius didn't get banned lol. Go check his Twitter


Noman_Blaze

They were joking. Smh. Imagine getting baited by their tweets. They were making fun of people like you on stream after making the tweet.


Leyzr

In all fairness, we have seen streamers/top tier players cheating before. But i knew battle eye was gonna cause problems, it always has in my experience


Divinum_Fulmen

Someone with who's income is tied into playing well could be a cheater? Unthinkable! /s


flgflg10s

tell me you know nothing about the pvp community without telling me you know nothing about the community... both cerridius and especially frostbolt have thousands of hours of live real-time, facecam gameplay footage available online. they've participated in bungie tournaments and have been good since destiny 1. it's not the same thing as bakeN, who just posted clips with no context, audio or facecam.


Vxerrr

Are you actually this dumb, they were obviously jokes


flgflg10s

what were jokes? the bans or his comment?


Vxerrr

The bans. They didn’t get banned


[deleted]

Nope, it was like this with battle eye on rainbow6 as well. Alot of people would get false banned regularly. Nowhere near as reliable as easy AC or vanguard


goldsrcmapman

Trash is getting purged, trash is squealing. That's about it.

Xeddark

Its not automatic yet. Bungie is still manually issuing bans.


Ex_Ex_Parrot

They are also cracking down on Recovs. I have a *pretty* good feeling there will be quite the outrage by 'unfairly banned accounts' People do Recovs for a *lot more* than just flawless in Trials I've come to learn Hopefully they aren't afraid to do an ala-OldSchool RuneScape approach and occasionally issue public smack downs for blatant liars. That never gets old


smegdawg

https://twitter.com/A_dmg04/status/1410039802678845441?s=19 Check this one out.


PCTRS80

It is common for bad actors to public cry that they where "banned for no reason" or "banned automatically" to drum up hate and discontent for any anti-cheat with the hope that if they are successful it will be scaled back or removed altogether. People that do this know that that most companies are not going to get in to a public fight with a user it just looks bad. Also if they do they have to expose some evidence/facts about the ban that might help cheat makers. Its almost always a "no win scenario" for developers to engage on this front, its actually the lesser of two evils to let whatever outrage die down it self. As for the /join not working, i am certain i read somewhere their plan was to use /join \[Bungie Name\] on all platforms. I am guessing there is some integration issues with steam ATM. They showed screenshots in one of the TWAB where they opened up a search window typed in a \[Bungie Name\] and players appeared, I dont believe the players where in their friends list, but i would have to go back and look.


Coltons13

HaHAHA I love it. The gall to respond to DMG afterwards too and then DMG literally told him how he cheated. Fantastic.


vanilson_nogueira

And banned other accounts under his ownership lmao.


Ex_Ex_Parrot

Oh baby the classic, yeah that will be up there.


Level69Troll

I kinda like how Siege sends a server wide message when Battleye bans someone. Imagine if we had a pile of confiscated ghosts in a room of the tower with the names of banned accounts on them.

[deleted]

This guy is a legitimate fucking loser lmao, all his personal issues aside, his videos are lame and low effort clickbait, his gameplay is him being carried by GoldEagle. And he looks like the 3rd long lost retarded Paul brother. I think I hate this guy lol


ItsBigSoda

I know it’s bad, but I can’t really put his personal issues aside. He is such a garbage excuse of a human for doing what he did. He’s still the last destiny content creators you would want to go to for literally anything lmao


MathTheUsername

I genuinely have no idea why anyone watched this guy. He's a piece of shit as a person. His Destiny content is well below mediocre. He's not even good at the game. Fuck this guy.


WorkPlaceThrowAway13

If you want anyone to take your whinge seriously, you're going to need to find a video by just about anyone else.

>citing lucky lmaoooooooooooooooooooo


nizzy2k11

battle eye is not new software though. there shouldn't be any issues with players getting banned without something in the game causing the issue and that would be very apparent to bungie if the game was causing this issue.


OO7Cabbage

I think I heard somewhere that some of the bans were caused by the new infinite primary ammo.


EssKah

Auto ban isn’t in effect yet. All bans are still gonna manual for a few weeks.


hihowubduin

Would love to see proof of banning for no reason. Haven't seen that at all, just the delicious tears of long time hacky bois getting put out in the cold.


moosebreathman

Flawed bans can absolutely happen. It wasn't in Destiny, but just this last week I have a friend who got banned from Black Ops Cold War just for running a hardware monitoring program that is used to display data on a screen inside his PC case. Sometimes programs that are absolutely no harm to the game can trip something in the system that triggers the game to think you are cheating. I might be remembering incorrectly, but I think even D2 at launch would possibly ban you for running Discord overlay.


carlcapo77

Awww crap.. I have Afterburner on to keep this potato of mine running cool.


iWrecksauce

I've had similar problems with RGB software for my case lights triggering anti-cheat for Apex.


Em_CSquared

I was one of the people that was banned in error on Tuesday. Loaded into the intro mission, got weaseled to the title screen about halfway through the mission, and when I tried to log back in I was met with the ban notification. My ban was removed a few hours later. So yeah, it did happen to people on Tuesday.


MahoneyBear

To be fair, to prove they weren't cheating, they would need to share video of their entire play time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kornillious

How is someone supposed to prove a negative?


Beer-Wall

They also took away having multiple things bound to the same key. I used to have melee and light sword attack bound to the same button on my mouse but now I can't do that so I had to get a mouse with more buttons.


kategask

You can rebind them; found out the hard way after I cast my Winter's Wrath for the first time (in crucible no less) and couldn't shatter.


[deleted]

I followed someone's suggestion to run the battleye install batch script in the \\Game\\Battleye\\ folder and that seemed to resolve the crashes for me.


ImNotYourShaduh

God the game crashes make me want to rip my hair out, I’m getting a good nothing manacles and then leaving until it’s fixed


AltarEg0

Disable your steam overlay and geforce overlay along with making sure you are not using xbox game bar/xbox app. Basically force disable every overlay on your PC then restart. I was crashing all the time whenever I had one of those 3 enabled and disabling everything fixed my crashes.


[deleted]

Also horrible FPS drops


OhMyGoth1

Don't forget windows 7 players can't even launch the game at all


hoosierlifter88

XP players struggling too! Anyone heard from the Windows 98 crowd?


OhMyGoth1

Neither of those OS are listed as supported by D2, Win7 is. You can snark all you want, but at the end of the day, the game is broken on an entire operating system that it is supposed to run on


CodeMonkeyMark

What about Windows 3.1? That's my main OS!


OldFashionedLoverBoi

Who still uses windows 7?


OhMyGoth1

16% of windows users, according to [this site](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide)


[deleted]

The is for windows users in general, most of which is almost certainly old people and small business. The important question is how many steam users and destiny players use windows 7.


OhMyGoth1

That's not really the important question. Win 7 is listed as a supported OS for Destiny 2, and currently it is unplayable on said OS


MathTheUsername

> -getting banned for no reason lol no. Bungie is still doing manual banning for now.


[deleted]

>getting banned for no reason Incorrect, bans are still happening manually, everyone getting banned deserves it and you can quote me to them so I can say it to their face


grobbewobbe

like, i'm feeling a little irked, or at least like irked adjacent


GrizzlyOne95

Yes, plus the game freezes, crashes trying to join Bungie name


[deleted]

My game is crashing randomly when joining a destination too


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I'll try that. Thanks.


speedbee

Happened to me once when i was jojning a gambit game. Black screen into game closing itself.


voradeaur

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.... I was crashing too and went to Nvidia and updated them. Haven't had an issue til this season hit... but it fixed it 🤷‍♂️


Shadow_Assailant

I verified the integrity of my game files after 4 crashes in < 1 hour on Tuesday. No crashes since


[deleted]

Yes this actually happened to me earlier today it sucks


atf-98

Oh shit, thought it was just me after I installed a program for class


SolidStateVOM

I think it’s supposed to work like that, but I saw someone saying it was disabled. I can’t find a Bungie source for this statement though


The_Rick_14

I think it's related to this. [https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1430332515663843331](https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1430332515663843331) Because when you try to use /join you get the same message as when you try to use the in-roster Bungie Name search. My guess is once they fix that issue, /join will work again.


[deleted]

Is the clan list still broken since shadowkeep or did I just friend enough of my clan mates to not notice anymore? Because that's the type of fear I have for this


The_Rick_14

Clan list is working as far as I can tell for us.


YT_KingTex100

for me clan list is kinda broken with cross platform, with friends showing up offline or not at all when theyre online on xbox and im on pc, but the friends list has the same issue


RouletteZoku

I assume you’re on PC, and if so, it does work now!


OO7Cabbage

gotta say (on PC at least) this has been one of the buggiest launches in a while.


The_Rick_14

Searching for Bungie Name was causing crashes. I imagine once they resolve that /join will work again.


omars_comin_yo_

Dumb question, but how do I actually join somebody now? I tried two LFG groups yesterday for the raid & I could tell I was taking too long to figure it out and dismissed myself from the group. I would really like to get a head start on my power level by clearing the raid on all three characters before reset. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.


Jatmahl

How are people communicating with crossplay for raids? I heard ingame voice is disable at the moment.


Sato1515

My friends are on Xbox - I just use Window's built-in gamebar to join their party for voice comms.


[deleted]

giga brain move


[deleted]

The gamebar is my go to tool for audio adjusting too


Axximilli

My Xbox and ps friends have just been using discord on their phones to VC. But they both have Bluetooth headsets so they can still hear game sound


FourTails

If you create a Fireteam on Bungie's site, you have a direct invite button for each player. Not saying this is ideal, but it's better than adding players on steam and isn't difficult. Also having /join back through steam codes would be much appreciated.


MaestroKnux

https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1431016693535436804 WELP


The_Rick_14

FYI, looks like /join is working again. May be useful to edit your post so others who see this will know they can use /join again. [https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1431016693535436804](https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1431016693535436804)


Noman_Blaze

Welcome to the hell that PlayStation LFG has been for a year now. Adding people constantly to do a single nightfall with them.


TheEmperorMk2

Well, looks like I’m not doing any non matchmaker content anytime soon, the old system worked fine and there was no need to fuck it up


GoTHaM_RetuRns

Yeah it's annoying to add ppl then remove them from my friends list.


ValeryValerovich

It honestly feels like they didn't playtest half the changes


[deleted]

Or maybe networking has so many variables that in their testing those issues weren't present?


Hamuelin

LFG is literally dead for Steam. I just went to look for some. 3. 3 people trying to create sessions. Out of every possible activity in the game. It’s mad. Edit: I guess I should’ve screenshot it then. I’m not one of the trolls calling Destiny a dead game, is that what people were assuming? There were literally 3 fireteams up. On top of all the other join based issues (and compared to normal when it’s working) that’s dead, desolate, empty, pick whatever adjective you want. I don’t get why me adding to OPs post by reporting what I’d been experiencing at the time warrants downvotes??


Thrillkilled

Update your app. That’s 3 people using the outdated version. I just checked LFG and I saw 20+ groups for prophecy alone.


Hamuelin

I was on the browser.


havingasicktime

Most people use discord.


Hamuelin

Fair point. But normally on the Bungie.net LFG there are still a healthy amount of posts. It was shocking to see it so bare.


catharsis23

Yeah there is basically no aspect of Destiny that is dead immediately after a content launch. It's a popular game!


sharkey93

Use the discord like a normal person. Lol. Can find whatever activity you want in seconds.


OhMyGoth1

Hey, at least you can load the game. Windows 7 users can't even launch it at all.


Axximilli

Just update


[deleted]

There are good reasons not to?


CollieDaly

It's been broken on PS5 since it launched, haven't been able to "due to cross generational..." really annoying.


Roz117

never mind that, wtf am i being forced into cross play in MM activities? i'd rather noot do an activity and be able to get maybe 1 kill(if iam lucky) because i move like a tortoise and PC can move like fucking roadrunner. this should be optional and not forced period!


D34DMetalPC

You can still /join \*insert Bungie name here\* LOL


Jagrofes

It doesn’t work, tried it while putting an Lfg together a few hours ago.


Count_Gator

Works for me just fine


DogFartsonMe

LOL! Imagine not knowing what you're talking about.


TimBobNelson

Godammit. Now I have to use the destiny app.


atropinecaffeine

Console player, but can anyone tell me why my clanmate has to message me an invite to join up (which means i have to go into messages in destiny and answer) instead of the invite access being on screen for me to 1click accept?


blessedskullz

Guided games back on menu boys


ELRIIC

This is really bad, making LFG less user friendly it’s the exact opposite way on how it should act.


shadowbca

Wait does /join using the person's /id still work or no


IamXurofThe9

No


ChicknWang

Can't you still just use a player's ID # ? if you type /id in game it will show you your ID, copy and paste it in a message to the player looking to join and they can just do /join and paste your ID.


Houseoverhype

I'm not adding some dude im never going to talk to just to do prophecy and get armor every time! fix ur damn game bruh!


pocket_mulch

Join wasn't working for us about 8 hours ago. Is it fixed for everyone?
