Destiny 2: Servers down today – Maintenance, Update 1.03 [Update]

In Destiny 2 the servers are down today, on September 12th. Maintenance is being conducted. The servers will be offline for several hours. Update 1.03 is live.

Update: The maintenance has been extended until 9 PM. Update 1.03 can already be downloaded. It is 4.7 GB in size (PS4). For some, it shows that it is only 50 MB in size. Additionally, some receive the error message that this version of Destiny 2 is no longer available when they start the game. There are no further details from Bungie at this time.
Update 7:50 PM: Community Manager Cozmo comments on the problem that the Destiny 2 version is not available. He refers to the maintenance.

Update 9 PM: Bungie extends until 11 PM! The maintenance will last longer. In the game, the message appears that Destiny 2 is full.

Almost a week after the release of Destiny 2, the first detailed, announced maintenance takes place today, on September 12, 2017.

Due to the time difference, Bungie is working on the servers at a rather inconvenient time for German players – just when our workday starts to end, the developers begin maintenance.

Here are the important times (we specify German time):

• 4 PM: Preparations for the maintenance begin. You can no longer log into Destiny 2 and Destiny 1.
• 5 PM: The servers are taken offline. All players from Destiny 2 and Destiny 1 will be removed from their activities.
• 11 PM: The planned end of maintenance. The servers should come back online.

Keep in mind that Bungie’s time indications are often quite vague. The past has shown that server downtimes can sometimes be much shorter, but also much longer than indicated.

What changes today during maintenance? – Update 1.0.1.2

Update 5 PM: After the maintenance, you need to download hotfix 1.0.1.2. What this changes is not specified. On the PS4, it has version number 1.03.

Bungie is not providing information on what changes are being made today. Presumably, they are working on server stability and a problem with the Nightfall strike modifiers.

The last issues Bungie mentioned were the error codes Olive, Chicken, Pony, and Sheep. Additionally, they found problems with two Nightfall strike modifiers (Prism and Momentum). These, however, require a future hotfix. Whether this will come today is uncertain.
