Destiny 2

650W is probably not enough for everything and the 1080. I'd bet a dollar that if you swap it out for a quality 800W or better, D2 would be stable. I'm not sure what it is, but Destiny 2 pulls some serious juice out of my rig. What led me to believe it was the power supply was the symptoms you were mentioning.
dunno man, my corsair 550w has zero issues with my OC 1080 and any games (VR and destiny 2 included) as well as mining when I'm at work which puts my GPU to 100% usage for hours at a time.

I understand, then perhaps his PSU is intermittently faulting out. As the non-owner, I'm just trying to diagnose his problem based on symptoms I've heard. The game is perfectly stable for me too, but had crashing issues before CoO. Just trying to help the dude out.

Well, in an attempt to check this out (all results courtesy of HWinfo64), I ran a couple of tests, during cinebench, my CPU gets to 206w and furmark gets my GPU up to around 196w, now I played a bit of destiny 2 just to have a wee look, and my CPU was only drawing 120w (in a firefight with 10 ish mobs around) so while I'm not discarding the PSU (yet) as the issue it does not look like it would be.

I did not crash but did not play for long, I did turn of the fullscreen optimizations option for destiny 2 as described in one the CPU threads of the forum.

It's more about the GPU pulling more peak power (spikes) in D2. My first instinct was to think it's something going on with power to your GPU, and I'm not sure I'm wrong, but I don't know enough details. If you had a spare lying around, it might be worth swapping the PSU.

I only have a 620w bronze seasonic lying around which would be worse then my current one.
 
With PSU's, they often come with a really long warranty (5-10 years) and you can pull Amazon and NewEgg receipts going back more than a decade. I bought mine at an online store that went under or otherwise I would have tried to RMA mine. With Corsair, they usually just send you whatever their newest equivalent model is.

oh dont let me stop you :) just giving you guys more info to work with for your troubleshooting

For sure. I understand his pain. Before CoO, my game would crash at some inopportune times (randomly), like at the raid boss and what not. Strange behavior like he is describing leads me to think his GPU wants peak power at times that his PSU is struggling to give (so the game just crashes out), or at least that's my theory.

In other good news, I like the QoL improvements and changes the Bungie devs mentioned are coming to the game next week. I may have to actually login and play next week. Lol

I do appreciate the suggestions and help.

I did a bit of a longer game session last night, kept an eye on GPU power consumption, which stayed during heavy action around the 180w mark so nothing remarkable there after around 20-25 min I finished the q series and w<as at an NPC handing in my quest, was looking trough their inventory and decided to buy a gun, clicked buy and bam lockup and reset button, the disable fullscreen optimisationd did not help here that's for sure :p

Guess I'm back to waiting for a patch.

One other thing I'm thinking about is are you on the very latest BIOS for your mobo that addresses the Spectre issue with an Intel microcode update? If so, revert to the latest version without that microcode update. My system was perfectly stable until I updated my BIOS to that. Afterwards, random crashes and reboots, so I reverted the BIOS back.
 
Nah it was the same with my old bios, the new one actually seems a bit better then the old one in some regards

Either way, make sure it's not a BIOS update with the Intel microcode update (it ruins many systems' stability). I guess the other things to try are repair and install from Blizzard's app, and /or installing on a different hard drive. My basic point is that I think you are waiting for an update/patch that is not going to happen. I was very active in Destiny 2 with my clanmates before we burned through all the content. I had random crashes and stability problems before CoO, but the CoO update fixed those problems for me. Some of my clanmates that had issues as well noticed the random crashes went away for them also with the CoO update. Good luck with remainder of troubleshooting and happy gaming. I'm looking forward to playing some Destiny 2 after next week's update is live.
 
I'm still enjoying this despite all the issues. The gunplay is just unmatched.

If anyone ever needs a buddy in anything hit me up via PM. I do everything, Trials, Prestige raid, etc, etc.

I gave the old uninstall/reinstall to a different try another go, crashed fter 10 min orso when looking into my inventory with nothing going on around me. Lucklily I did not waste my mon,ey on the DLC for this broken piece of garbage.

There are tons of people still posting on their forums with the same issue I have and also frequent stuttering frame drops so there are a couple of serious issues with the game, not sure bungie cares to try and fix it though. From what I gather those issues were absent during the beta (from what I read on the forums anyways) were annoying during normal launch got worse after the expac.

Seen some people blame windows fall creators update which somehow causes issues with bungies code and needs to be addressed by bothe bungie and MS but that's unverified at this time.

In any case bungie is remaining silent so to me it means they don't really give a crap, their player base must be big enough and it's not like you can get a refund.
 
Wouldn't shock me if the Fall Creators update was at least part of the catalyst for issues. Thinking back, I don't know if I had any crashes prior to it. I still get random 1-2 second screen blanking that started with that update.
 
Fall Creator's Update did cause havoc on my old system, an i7-4930K and Rampage IV extreme Black mobo. I couldn't alt-tab properly out of Blizzard games and they would crash whenever I tried to alt-tab. It may be worth going to Windows 10 version 1607 (pre- Fall Creator's update).
 
Denpepe are you running a real time AV scanner of some sort? The D2 demo/beta test hated Malwarebyte's real time scanner. Shut it completely down and it ran fine. With it, fps was a stutter fest.
 
I'm just using ms antivirus, my fps is good though, fixed that issue easy enough, it's the crashing that's an issue atm.

I ended up getting the Origin Story via a random Strike reward. It's definitely a good one. While I enjoy hand cannons, I'm not so sure I'm not enjoying dual auto-rifles more. Especially with some of those bullet-sponge Strike bosses and public event enemies.
 
I'm playing through Destiny 1 again. Even after all the time I put into the game, it's still fun playing through the storyline. Still a bit to go to finish Rise of Iron.
 
I guess they are doing a big overhaul with the game can't be too big unless the original game is scraped which might be hard for consoles since it's on the disk already.
 
Destiny 1 got a pretty large overhaul between the launch game and Taken King. They even replaced all of the Ghost dialogue. I welcome more missions that aren't Raids. Especially some additional plot-based levels and more strikes. Destiny 2 started so strong, but the plot only resurfaced a handful of times between the first level and the last. The DLC plot couldn't have been more bland.
How about a new enemy type, a la the Taken? That's part of the problem. We've been fighting the same 4 types of enemies forever at this point.

I had a 750W Corsair in my system which should be more than enough for my setup. I could run AIDA64 with max CPU and GPU for hours. Yet Destiny 2 (and *ONLY* Destiny 2) kept crashing for me, too. Sometimes it would take 10 minutes, other times 2 hours, but it kept happening.
When I traded that PSU for my wife's 1000W Corsair (which she didn't need, but it was on sale), I haven't had a single issue since. I've come to the conclusion that there's something in Destiny 2 that pushes systems like nothing else. Hell, it might even be a full-on issue with the game, but swapping PSU's fixed it for me.
I've got a 100% repeatable crash in one of the story missions on Nessus, if I run my GPU at stock it works fine. On Saturday the same thing happened to me in XCOM 2, again dialing back to OC fixed it. It doesn't just crash to Windows either, my entire PC reboots, no BSOD or anything. I'm starting to think it very well may be a PSU problem.
 
I've had to replace power supplies when they started giving me these types of issues. Fortunately I usually have a spare power supply available to swap to and see if that fixes things.

I haven't had it recently, but years ago I'd sometimes have to reduce the frequency of factory overclocked video cards to stop occasional crashes. That was a long time ago though. I still go back to stock clocks as the first step to troubleshooting a problem.
 
If I overclock my GPU at all it eventually crashes in Destiny despite running fine in other games.
It never crashes without an OC.
 
small update, in a desperate attempt I tried the only PSU I have lying around, a seasonic 620W still crashes, then in an even more silly attempt I hooked my regular PSU back up and added a 2nd PCIe power cable, so one for each connector, in the hopes this might solve a possible low power issue, still no dice.

Have you tried since the update today? They mentioned that they "Fixed an issue where Destiny 2 could crash when players were changing emotes quickly." I think your problem is still hardware related and random, but they did mention that one crash fix.
 
I'm guessing the Iron Banner stuff is all Crucible-related, right? I couldn't find a trace of anything new in the SP game except masterwork options for armor pieces. I've gotten so few masterwork drops (and it takes so many pieces to mod anything) I see that being a pretty slow grind for 4 pieces of armor.

Yeah IB is Crucible (same with Trials of the Nine, etc.). I really have zero interest in the PvP aspect of the game, so there's not much whenever IB rolls around.

As far as Masterworks armor goes, there's raid perk/mods in armor too, so that could be of use for EoW and Levi.
 
May feels like years away. Hopefully some of these additions are bigger than they seem. I think one big problem is just how small/limited Curse of Osiris is. It's like 1/3 of the size of the other maps and there isn't much to do. It's hard not to compare it to the Taken King, which changed the entire rest of the game in addition to adding a new (large) map. Instead it's small, confined, and repetitious.

This definitely needs a "Taken King." Overall I like what I read out of that timeline plan.
 
So far its been disappointing :( I had alot of fun with Destiny 2 for what it was, beat the raid, got the plat trophy on my PS4 and hit 305 but I have 0 interest in buying this expansion. Will wait a while to see if the can deliver, till then tons of other good games to play lol
 
With Destiny 1 I ended up buying a bundle of all DLC's for something like $30 not long after Rise of Iron came out. A deal like that is worth waiting for if you haven't bought Osiris yet. At the very least I'd probably wait for Mars to launch so that both DLC's will seem a bit more substantial.
By itself, it's a small map with 2 nearly identical public events, a series of VERY similar levels, and the same enemies you've been killing forever. There IS some neat new gear, though.
 
Finally got some breaks this morning! New powerful versions of weapons I actually like. I'm rocking Sturm and Drang again, which was a neat combo that got out of sync (power-wise) for me a while ago.
 
I'm really enjoying playing through D1 again on a new toon. Currently in Rise of Iron. I still do the 2 solo weekly milestones in D2, but that's about it. My D2 clan is completely dead, still about 70 members, but nobody logs on. I've never been in a D1 clan.
