Destiny 2 Version 1.26 Update Released, Read What’s New and Fixed

Destiny 2 update 1.26 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is now rolling out for players. According to the official Destiny 2 1.26 patch notes, the new update includes fixes for issues related stuttering/lag, client bugs, crashing, and UI bugs. In addition, Destiny 2 version 1.26 also contains stability and performance improvements. Apart from this, Bungie is aware of an exploit that negatively impacts a player’s ability to earn Prime Engrams over time. However, players earning Prime Engrams under normal gameplay conditions should not expect to see the negative effects of this exploit.

Bungie previously released a hotfix with various fixes and changes. Unfortunately, many players are still experiencing a number of issues when trying to play the game. Today’s Destiny 2 version 1.26 update is expected to fix these issues. Check out more details below.

Destiny 2: Forsaken Known Issues

  • Offering to the Oracle: We are investigating issues retaining the Offering to the Oracle in inventories. To avoid this, players should log into all characters in Destiny 2, or log into the Destiny Companion app, before acquiring the item. Players should also make sure their consumable inventory is not full.
  • WANTED: Combustor Valus Bounty: We are investigating an issue where some players in a fireteam don’t receive credit for killing the Combustor Valus and then can’t replay the adventure.
  • Various Trophies/Achievements: We are investigating issues with some trophies and achievements not unlocking for new players.
  • Crucible Kill Feed: We are investigating an issue where players can’t see their Crucible kill feed. Players may want to clear the console cache for a possible workaround.
  • HDR Issues: We are monitoring reports where players who use HDR are having issues.
  • Crucible Drops: We are investigating an issue where some players do not receive any loot drops for completing Crucible matches.
  • Hawthorne Clan Bounties: We are investigating an issue where Hawthorne doesn’t update her daily clan bounties.
  • Traveler’s Chosen Sidearm and Other Starting Weapons: We are investigating an issue where the Traveler’s Chosen Sidearm and other starting weapons cannot be dismantled or stored in the vault. Players are encouraged to not retrieve the Sidearm, as it will remain in their Kinetic weapon slot until a fix is deployed. Additionally, new players should reach the Farm before using a character boost so their weapons don’t remain in their inventory.

Destiny 2 update 1.26 is now available for download on PS4 and Xbox One.
