In Destiny 2, the “sanitation work” continues. Bungie still has a lot of work ahead, so you can expect another server downtime today. MeinMMO tells you the exact outage times and which bugs could be eliminated.
This is what you need to know today: Not all bugs in Destiny 2: Lightfall have been eradicated yet that interrupt the flow of the game. Bungie has to continue improving and is doing so. Expect the downtime to come today afternoon and anticipate that you won’t be able to play for a while.
The hotfix 7.0.0.6 is ready for today, Thursday, March 23, and will bring a new update for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
But first, MeinMMO will inform you about all known details of the downtime, tell you when you can’t play, and update live the progress of the maintenance.
20:24: Our login was successful just now. In-game, you will be welcomed with a tribute to Lance Reddick, who left the Destiny community last week.
20:15: Destiny 2 should be back online soon. However, the servers are currently inaccessible due to increased network traffic. You can stay in the queue, though.
19:40: Bungie has just published the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog. With this, you can shorten the waiting time until the hotfix is completed by reading.
19:20: Quick reminder: The servers from Bungie are still offline. You can download the update already, but logging in will only be possible again around 20:00.
19:00: Bungie has made a correction for the patch notes. Here, a bug was erroneously marked as resolved, which is planned for a later update.
18:00: You can now download the new update. On PC, it is 104.1 MB in size. After that, you will have to wait until 19:00, as long as Destiny 2 is still offline.
17:00: The patch notes for hotfix 7.0.0.6 are here. So long as Destiny 2 is still offline, you can learn what has changed. You will find the information along with the link at the end of this article.
15:45: Destiny 2 has just gone into offline mode. You’ll need to wait for a while now.
Maintenance on 23.03. – All times for server downtime
These times are important today: As always, Bungie informed via Twitter about the exact times, and it is evident that you will once again have to do without Destiny 2 for a few hours.
This is the exact schedule for the maintenance:
- At 15:00 German time, the maintenance work will start in the background on all platforms.
- From 15:45 the servers will go offline and you players will be automatically kicked out of all activities.
- The update 7.0.0.6 will be released around 18:00, so it can already be downloaded.
- However, the servers will officially be back online around 20:00.
- The ongoing background maintenance will officially end at 21:00, if everything goes smoothly.
Also, keep in mind that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may not be properly accessible for a while after the update. However, you can use the in-game loadout system introduced with Lightfall anytime.
What changes with hotfix 7.0.0.6 in Season 20
This is what the hotfix brings today: The last update has already eliminated some annoying issues. But far from all of them. So the list from last week has only shrunk a bit.
At least, Bungie’s support fixes bugs also just-in-time and without downtime, like the bug that caused that no prime loot could be obtained in the Iron Banner on Tuesday.
MeinMMO lists here the problems that are already known to Bungie, as well as those that our readers have brought to our attention. What will be fixed, however, will only be revealed in the patch notes.
- There are problems that new players cannot unlock certain locations such as the EDZ or the Throne World. Here, the maintenance mission for newer players is also unavailable.
- Veterans do not receive the correct number of Lore books on their first rank-up.
- The countdown mode and the associated variants are not added to the weekly crucible challenge.
- The salvages explosion from “Getting By” is sometimes not activated on kills.
- The gravitational lift in Neomuna is tied to the framerate. This means that players with a higher framerate die upon landing.
- Players have located and reported further framerate bugs in Destiny 2.
- The “Mark as Seen” button in collections no longer works.
- The grenade launcher “Dimensional Hypotrochoid” can get a range masterpiece.
- Certain heavy weapon archetypes do not receive benefits from equipping a third reserve mod.
- Players can no longer equip the Unbroken title.
- Restoration resets to a lower timer when the original source of the buff is reapplied.
- It is possible to mark targets through Titan barricades with weapons.
- Equipping a large amount of decaying armor charge mods disables artifact mods of levels 4 and 5.
- Appraisals are grayed out as they have already been awarded in some activities.
- Player name changes are not infinitely customizable on bungie.net. Players are still waiting for the option to change their username again instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available.”
- The Mercury Storm Exotic auto rifle and the Exotic scout rifle “Malicious Touch” have lost their 40% damage increase against enemies with red bars.
Patch Notes for hotfix 7.0.0.6 in Destiny 2
What is in the patch notes? The comprehensive list of all changes for hotfix 7.0.0.6 is published by Bungie in the form of patch notes. However, they will only be released tonight. As soon as they are published, we will link them in this article since they could still change afterwards.
If you have noticed any further problems in the game that tarnish your gaming experience, please feel free to leave a comment on MeinMMO. The more often bugs are mentioned, the faster they land on Bungie’s to-do list.
In connection with the long list of errors, the community speaks of Bungie “turning a deaf ear to criticism” and is increasingly becoming rude.
