In Destiny 2, at least two updates will be deployed this week. It starts today, on October 30th, with a PC patch.
In the Halloween week, which we are in today, since October 30th, it won’t be spooky in Destiny 2, but rather bug-free. The developers announced two updates for this week that aim to fix issues and make some adjustments.
It starts today with the PC version. The PC-specific hotfix 1.0.5.1 is on the way:
- The patch 1.0.5.1 will arrive on October 30th at 6 PM on PC.
- Once it is available, PC players will be brought back to the login screen. But only after you have completed your activity.
- You may need to close and restart Destiny 2 to start the hotfix.
- If you attempt to form a fireteam with a player who has not yet downloaded the update after installation, the error code “Sheep” will occur.
Bungie emphasizes once again: This patch will not be available on PS4 and Xbox One.
What does update 1.0.5.1 bring?
According to Bungie, this patch has only one purpose: To remove the requirement of an SSSE3 processor to play Destiny 2.
Currently, Destiny 2 only runs with processors that have Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3). This requirement will now be eliminated.
Complete patch notes are not yet known. If 1.0.5.1 changes more, we will update this article.
Update 1.0.6 is also upcoming
This week, not only the PC is receiving an update, but also the consoles. Bungie already announced update 1.0.6 last week, which will bring three important changes:
- A problem with the Bureaucratic Walk will be resolved. This is an emote that currently allows walking through walls. It is responsible for the Trials of Osiris being suspended for these weeks and being resumed only in early November.
- There will be an adjustment to have more other Guardians found in the public areas. So far, one was often alone there.
- Additionally, several changes will be made to the Crucible, such as the mercy rule and scoring. You can find the exact changes here.
This update does not have a specific release date yet. It is set to go live sometime this week. Whether maintenance work will be required is not yet known.
