I hope you weren’t all planning on doing your Destiny weekly’s Tuesday morning, because Bungie’s Destiny servers will be down Tuesday October 7th starting at 7am PST. The server maintenance will last for several hours, and while you will not be able to play, the maintenance will be worth the wait. Bungie has detailed a few of the fixes and updates that they will be applying to the game during these hours, to include client and security fixes. According to Bungie “Most of the changes included in this update will improve the technology that enables players to connect to Destiny. The player experience will remain unchanged, aside from the stability for some users who have encountered issues connecting to servers.” The full list of fixes is below:
- Added more data logging for matchmaking systems
- Improved connectivity failure handling to reduce beaver (Kick To Orbit events) KTOs
- Improved logging of player disconnections
- Internal tools fixes to speed up our release process
- Fixes to the roster system to allow us to tune the frequency of roster updates on Xbox One
- Fixed a bug that allowed users to quick scope on some weapons
- Security fixes
- Server performance improvements
- Fixes to reduce the frequency of some KTOs
- Better logging to help diagnose connectivity problems
- Fixes to some Centipede errors that were exclusive to specific player characters
Hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot less of these.
