What you need to know today: Bungie has announced an update for this Tuesday, January 18, 2022, for the afternoon. So you may need to reschedule your Destiny activities. According to the announcement, the servers are expected to be back online only one hour before the weekly reset.

Maintenance on January 18 – All times and server downtime
These times are important today:
- At 2:00 PM German time, maintenance work will begin on all platforms
- From 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline. You will be kicked from all activities – the downtime begins
- Around 5:00 PM, the servers are expected to come back online, and there may be a download waiting for you
- You can start playing only after the download has been downloaded (and copied)
- At 6:00 PM, the maintenance work is scheduled to end with the weekly reset
It is important: Even if you have downloaded the update, there may still be connection issues until the maintenance work ends around 6:00 PM. You may have to expect queues when logging in. Also, keep in mind that third-party applications and also the official companion app may not be reachable correctly.
What changes with the update in Season 15
This is what the hotfix brings today: Bungie has already talked about two known issues in advance that may be fixed today. However, the update could contain even more changes.
This was announced by Bungie in advance:
- There are issues with the increased occurrence of the MARMOT error. Players usually only receive this message if the game files of Destiny 2 are corrupted and need to be repaired or verified.
- Furthermore, the shader “Wild Overgrowth” was not unlocked in collections for some players after hotfix 3.4.0.2.
This is what the Destiny 2 community reports:
- Reports from the community have emerged about issues with public events “Glimmer Extraction” in the Cosmodrome. When starting the mining event, the Fallen ship collides with an invisible ship and slides into the ground. Additionally, the enemy waves no longer spawn correctly. Players cannot move forward during the entire event.
If you experience issues in the game as well, it is recommended to report these directly via the official Bungie Help Forum to raise awareness.
