Server Maintenance for Destiny 2: Today, on October 3rd, the servers are going offline. The online services are unavailable. How long will the maintenance last?
Update 7:15 PM: Oops, the servers are back online! Have fun! You can read the full patch notes for update 1.06 here.Note: If your character data does not load upon login, you should exit Destiny 2 and restart it. Problems are currently occurring frequently.
Update 6:15 PM: The update 1.0.3.1 is available. It carries version number 1.06 and is 55 MB in size.
Update: Today, many Guardians are complaining about server issues. “Destiny 2 servers are being contacted” is displayed frequently. Baboon, Chicken, and Centipede error codes are appearing. These issues are occurring more frequently on the PS4 after the installation of the PS4 update 5.00.
The maintenance with several hours of server downtime seems to have almost become a weekly ritual: Since the launch of Destiny 2, the servers have gone offline once a week for Bungie to work on the servers and deploy fresh updates.
On one hand, this can be seen as a positive, as annoying issues are being resolved. On the other hand, these downtimes also cause frustration – after all, you can’t play during this time. And due to the time difference, the maintenance occurs at extremely inconvenient times for German Guardians.
Today, on the Day of German Unity, maintenance is doubly frustrating – because finally, one would have time to play all day, but:
- At 5 PM our time, preparations for maintenance will begin. You can log in from then on.
- At 6 PM the servers go offline. If you are still in the game, you will be roughly removed. So, make sure to finish your activity beforehand.
- Bungie expects the servers to be online again by 9 PM.
It is quite possible that the servers will be available again hours earlier or later. We will adjust this article then.
What Changes Today? Update 1.0.3.1
Today, the update 1.0.3.1 will be deployed. A few days ago, Bungie previewed which issues will be fixed with it:
- A problem is being fixed that causes players to lose access to the veteran teleport effect due to character deletion.
- A problem is being fixed that causes clan engrams to contain “Trials of the Nine” and raid rewards with only 10 power.
- A problem is being fixed where the quest step “The Seal of His Majesty” does not progress correctly. The quest progress still increases by 1, but you only need 10 seals for the quest step.
- A problem is being fixed where for some players the raid milestones are not displayed after the weekly reset (the raid rewards are not affected).
- A problem is being fixed where players are continuously eliminated or cannot be revived when completion and failure happen simultaneously in an encounter.

The winning weapon of the Faction Rally will be available right after maintenance.
