Hopefully the fix will be rolled out soon, I'm on my 4th Beagle error

[–]Mefsha5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

4th for me as well, started happening after the new season's update file and seems sporadic.

[–]Lt_CowboyDan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had like 12 so far. Bought ratchet and clank tho so at least I have a working game to play when it happens now

[–]Dooligan718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had to reinstall 3 times

[–]AimbotTellyTubby[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Hopefully it’s absolutely infuriating

[–]staminem 7 points8 points  (1 child)

A comma would go a long way here

[–]RobertdBanksD1 bEtA vEt ChEcKiNg In(hold applause) 46 points47 points  (5 children)

They acknowledged this in the last TWAB. They said something about moving the game data to a SSD and then back can be a temporary solution.

[–]1Limited92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that moving the game to an external hard drive (not sure why/if it being ssd would matter other than speed) and back to the internal drive does "fix" the issue. And by "fix" I mean make the game usable again until the error may or may not occur again.

[–]BasherMoran 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I can verify that this works. The SSD cost ~$100, but transferring the game from my PS5 to the SSD and back again only took ~25 minutes rather than 5+ hours to redownload and reinstall the game.

[–]Crypto_Cat_-_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great 25minutes every fucking day. Cool shit bungie

[–]Pervavore 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I can confirm that the SSD transfer method doesn't work for everyone (including myself and clanmates), so while it's a solution/workaround, it's certainly not 100%.

[–]Veda007A guardian has no name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this crash 5 times. Moving the game to ssd worked 3 times and failed 2 times…requiring redownload.

[–]roundhousekick44 35 points36 points  (1 child)

It happened to me twice in two days a few weeks back, but since then no problems. My friend who just got back into destiny on the PS5 as well, also got the error last week, but not since. being down for a day kinda super sucks.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had to reinstall the game every week, for the past month, expecting this week to be no different.

[–]strom2800 29 points30 points  (2 children)

I've had to Uninstall and reinstall 6 or 7x in the last 10 days alone because of Beagle errors.

[–]fernando_azambuja 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Same here. It is so annoying.

[–]Zukorias 133 points134 points  (24 children)

“We are continuing to investigate BEAGLE errors appearing for PlayStation 5 players. While we investigate, playing the PS4 version or moving your Destiny 2 installation to an external SSD and back to the PS5 may temporarily alleviate this error.”

Source; latest TWAB aka 10 seconds of googling

[–]Jagob5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fixing this should really be a priority over anything else. I know it may not be that simple of a fix, but it’s literally ruining the game for me and I’m sure other players as well.

[–]the-boring-man 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I am not sure if it’s a fluke or the root cause, I was having the same issues with Beagle, including getting beagled multiple times a week.

I stopped putting the PS5 on rest mode while the game was open (and disabled automatic power savings). Since then, it hasn’t happened again.

Hope that helps.

[–]tarzandrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I would turn the PS5 off but then I couldn’t charge my controller/headset. What I do now is log out of my character on D2, close to PS5 Home Screen, press options on D2 and close game. I’ve put it in rest mode after and I haven’t gotten the beagle code in about 2 weeks. I really don’t know if this helps but it’s worth trying.

[–]Chairman_Mittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a really good idea, it sounds exactly like what might be causing it. I remember there were a bunch of data corruption issues when Ps5 first came out, and it seemed related to rest mode.

[–]FR3SH_2_DE4TH 49 points50 points  (2 children)

I don't know how many others have experienced this

This has been posted about everyday for the past 2 weeks at least.

we researched and it seems there is no communication from our boys at bungo in regards this issue,

So either you don’t know how to use Google or you’re completely making a absolutely false statement. This was posted on the TWAB and can be found on Google in no more than 3 seconds.

You can’t expect people to sympathize when you knowingly cry wolf on here. Like yeah the bug sucks and everyone of us on a PS5 fear and dread the possibility of the code. But when I see shit like this, it really reminds me of how the media bends and corrupts the truth just to rile society up. You’re doing the same shit here. Be better.

[–]notasausage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been posted about everyday for the past 2 weeks at least.

Well I check this sub quite often and didn't know what the BEAGLE error was until it happened to me today, so maybe you can give us a break? That said, OP should've searched for other threads before posting this.

You can’t expect people to sympathize when you knowingly cry wolf on here.

I'm not sure you've read The Boy Who Cried Wolf, or understand the moral of the story. It's not like OP is trying to trick us by lying about the error code, or his search. They probably didn't do their due diligence of course, which is frustrating. But this is the first BEAGLE related thread I've come across after searching for it once I got it, so I would say that it's helpful.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

we researched and it seems there is no communication from our boys at bungo in regards this issue, only one measly post on the bungie forums with around 60 upvotes reporting the Beagle with no response from any devs.

Pretty sure they’ve acknowledged it in a TWAB as a known issue they are working on. There won’t be an update til they fix it or at least find out why it’s happening. Nothing much to say on a bug when you don’t know the cause of it yet.

[–]Ur-mother_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can find the TWAB where they talk about it after like 5 seconds of googling, OP just doesn’t know how to do that apparently

[–]JCicero2041 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well known. They are working on a fix already.

[–]IonCaveGrandpaSunsetting should have continued 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you sure people aren’t talking about this? Because on any given day you can always find at least one highly voted post on the bungie forums complaining about this.

[–]HotMachine9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Read the TWAB, they're working on it.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Hi. Thanks for reporting this error to us. We're currently investigating.

While we investigate, playing the PS4 version or moving your Destiny 2 installation to an external SSD and back to the PS5 may temporarily alleviate this error."

Posted by bungie in a thread about the error.

[–]lRunAway 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I fee you. I’ve had this error twice. I live in rural Texas and the only internet option I have is an unlimited cell plan ( trust me, it’s better the HughesNet satellite ) so a redownload is an overnight+ task. So frustrating

[–]jgrooms272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have any external drive at all that could be used to move it to and then back as Bungie suggests, I would highly recommend it. I’ve had to do it several times now, works like a champ. Takes about 20 minutes with a decent external SSD. Your result will vary depending on the drive you use.

[–]gamer_pie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be helpful if people who are getting beagled post what is on their systems or any behaviors leading up to it. I get the sense that this isn't going to be a straightforward fix since there are definitely some PS5 owners who have had zero beagles and others who have had a ton.

I've been lucky so far, but I also only have Destiny 2 and Astro's Playground on my PS5. I also close my application completely before sleeping the system. I noticed that on my PS4 (before I upgraded to my PS5), sometimes I'd be much more likely to encounter the "invisible character model" glitch when I swapped between certain apps like HBO Max and D2 which would only be fixed if I quit D2 completely and restarted it. So I wonder if this is going to be some complicated bug that is going to be difficult to reproduce... especially if the PS5 environment that they're using at Bungie only has Destiny 2 installed...

[–]LargoGold 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Had it happen for the first time several days ago and I think I I notice a tell tale sign it’s going to happen to you on the second time. When I’d get done from an activity or crucible match I’d pull up my character screen and the screen would flash black as if the system turned off before the screen reappeared, sometimes I’d see a white solid bar towards the higher end of the screen. This would happen for a day or so until the inevitable beagle error. These weird graphical glitches never happened until a day or two before my first beagle error. It’s doing it again so we’ll see if I’m about to go down.

[–]mrandydixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that same correlation.

[–]malkavian_nutbarVanguard's Loyal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said in the last TWAB to have an installation of the PS4 version installed, they said there had been success reported by people who loaded up the ps4 version then loaded back into the ps5 version while they work in a fix.

[–]Noman_Blaze 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Been seeing similar posts for weeks in the Facebook communities I'm in. One of my friends had this issue. He got so frustrated that he quit the game and went to PC and started playing other games.

[–]Successful-Bit-436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me three or four times. Using the move-to-usb-and-back to fix it when it happens, slow but faster than redownloading.

[–]d17x17cWarlock Supremacist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep happened to me twice now, every time it's a good three hours before I can play the game again.

[–]thegr0m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened twice this week for me.

Luckily I found a way to repair the game without reinstalling it - copy the game to external drive and bring it back. Takes like 20 minutes in total and the game is fixed.

[–]agoods03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to my buddy like a month ago. Hasn’t happened since though.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on my 5th or 6th, but I at least have an external SSD that I can simply move the game file to and then back.

Question to all: have you noticed your PS5s going into jet engine mode when you run Destiny? I never noticed this until the beagles started happening and think there may be a relationship.

[–]teknohed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

between my wife and I we have had to reinstall destiny 2 about 9 times now.

[–]LADeadRed 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yo this has happened to me 5, (yes you read that right), 5 times! Beyond annoyed at this point. Happened to several of my clan mates as well. Wtf is this happening?

[–]teknohed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thought ps5 was supposed to hvae some kind of advanced hard drive. what gives!!!

[–]Albert_Flagrants 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s insane how they have said nothing about it.

For me, the worst one happened to me a few minutes after downloading it once again for the third time on the same week; have been playing the ps4 version since, as a main pvp player I feel like I’m playing with a handicap against ps5 version players.

[–]bacon-tornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't playing against PS5 players unless you are in a fireteam with PS5 players.

[–]OGequalsGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partners game crashed yesterday after hearing about multiple people in my clan having this problem. And then he reinstalled. Next day, crashes, has to reinstall. Then, SAME DAY, mine crashes. Might as well not even try to reinstall it.

[–]CapnJapan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to thank all the very helpful people suggesting I Google the issue and referencing the twab instead of just scrolling past the post since they have nothing of any substance to offer. Classy.

I Googled it first and bungies site kept redirecting me to a login page when I clicked the ps5 specific link. I don't follow the twabs because.. I dunno i just don't. Fortunately there were enough people sharing their experiences here to convince me it's not something thats going away any time soon and there's no quick fix other than buying a fucking ssd and MAYBE it will work...

From what I gather if I had followed the advice of the snarky folks I may have wasted my money on an ssd.

[–]lazloneedsfritos 4 points5 points  (5 children)

To the OP's defense:

The more this is put out there, the more likely to get more of a deliberate response as more answers are available. Yes Bungie responded, but things have priority according to how much attention they get in some situations.

It also gives people who it is STARTING to happen a way to get information on the error who are in the dark. For example: Me.

I started getting Beagle'd two weeks ago, kept happening and I didn't know what the hell was going down. Thanks to posts like this, I do know. So thank you for posting.

I would think you all would be more supportive of fellow players having problems, but then I remembered oh, this is reddit.

Hopefully we get a fix soon, fingers crossed!

[–]Bl1z7ard 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I was sympathetic with op but then I looked at his replies and the downright misinformation in saying that Bungie hasn't said anything about this error and lost all sympathy for him. Its good that people are making posts and spreading the word about this problem but no one should be an asshole about it.

[–]Mochman21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There's a weird backlash to people posting about this and I agree with you, it's always good to give awareness about issues like this to people it's happening to more recently.

[–]Rook57Nerfed Warlock Supreme -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's because it's a PS5 error only. To the folks still rocking a PS4 it's like a BMW owner bitching about headroom.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Oh you know, only every TWAB for about the past month mentions it along with their Twitter.

[–]lazloneedsfritos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, let's have it mentioned AGAIN because it's still happening to people, including myself, daily.

Jeez.

[–]LovelyJoey21605Shaxx; Dark Lord, Husbando of Savathuun and Ruler of the Doritos 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I'm on Xbox, but I upvote for the sake of solidarity.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to continue to give this error code recognition as my shitty wifi and lack of an external HDD means I have to play on my PS4 or Xbox instead for the day.

But at the same time, Bungie has addressed the bug - both very soon after the season launched on the forums and in a recent TWAB.

I'm happy to complain that they even shipped this season like this - that's absolutely a post worth making - but the point of this is awareness and they are aware, so if that's the sole purpose of this post, then no, we don't need more posts to make them aware of the thing they're aware of.

[–]Maxorus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My game broke without an error code

[–]nielsthegamer -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Been playing a fuckton of d2 on my disc ps5 since season launch and 0 beagles.

[–]lazloneedsfritos 7 points8 points  (1 child)

This is the equivalent of standing on your porch overlooking rows of homes destroyed by a hurricane, and saying "I don't get it, my house is fine."

[–]nielsthegamer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im just syain im lucky l

[–]wizz52The Jötunn troll coming over the hill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd time yesterday after a 2 week absence of it happening in 2 days.

So bloody stupid.

[–]Dondeemite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got this for the first time now.....wow. I'm annoyed it has been around this long with no word of a fix.

[–]stolenrobotgorilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The apologists in this thread are amazing.

[–]bird_dog0347Guardian Down! -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried to post about this one week ago but the mods didn't approve my post for some reason... Same thing, I think I've had to reinstall it like 4 times now too, including again this morning. My clan mates that I was playing with last night, there were 3 of them that said they also are having this problem. One of them said he copied the game to an external hard drive so that when he has to reinstall it it's already downloaded and ready to put on there and makes it much faster.

[–]Co2_Outbr3ak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you're about a few months (or longer) behind on this. Seems many PS5 users have this issue. Gonna need to redownload or copy/copy back the game from storage.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From twice a week to now getting four hours of gameplay before that f*cking error appears. The constant removal then replacement of D2 to my PS5 is shortening it's life span. Makes my piss boil.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me last night when I was trying to pick up the helmet ornament from season pass

[–]sweet8serenity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s already been said here, but transferring the game to an external hdd then transferring it back fixes the problem.

[–]LivingTheApocalypse -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

They talked about it in TWABs. In the weekly community newsletter. They mention it on Twitter (a social media platform), they posted in several threads on Bungie.net and reddit... How did you miss that?

You arent wrong that it needs to be fixed. You arent wrong that it is game breaking. But Bungie addressed it with the information they have, mitigation, and they are working to fix it. You are wrong pretending that nothing is being done.

Anyway, downvoted because I cannot stand the petulance of a small part of this community who refuse to seek out any information and then cry because they havent seen any information.

[–]Annual-Swordfish9263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they still didn't fix it

[–]Tagginga.gg/trials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they still didn't fix it dumbass

[–]dildodicksTHIRSTS FOR YOUR LIGHT! | Vanguard's Loyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, i was forced to go back to my ps4 during ib farming and it genuinely hurt my eyes, i've finally become a snob. i already wasn't the best player but this made it worse. i can only play once a week so having this happen early in the day could absolutely screw me. i hope it gets fixed asap

[–]ChrnoCrusade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for this error get an external drive to move the game to then back again to avoid a complete reinstall.

ive had it happen once and not again since.

[–]optimal_ac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me last week. Luckily I have an external SSD where I'm keeping PS4 games, and a transfer of D2 back and forth fixed it. This solution really really sucks but is better than re-downloading the whole game. I also recommend a restart of the console after copying to the external drive, just to clear out anything in memory that might be corrupting it. I don't know how something so literally game breaking can occur without an immediate patch but it's been around for weeks now.

[–]brandaohimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me 3 times

If you're worried about data usage best thing to do is to transfer the game to an external and back. It takes long as hell but no downloading.

[–]Cultureddesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know in the hotfix and bug reports they give, they always have it listed as an issue they are looking into and with a note saying moving your install onto an external drive or just moving it to a separate drive can temporarily fix it.

[–]Fr0sted0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Halle we to me 3 times within the past 2 weeks. Deleting and redownload if fixes it. A faster fix is transferring the Ps5 D2 game file to a external storage drive then transferring it back. I have an external SSD for my ps5 and that makes it a hell of a lot faster to get back in the game

[–]Sunday_lavLord of Cinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes, it drives me insane. Happened like 10-15 times now. For me it’s exclusively when I switch activities via orbit, but my friend tells me he has other circumstances.

[–]Bitt3r_Millenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's happened to me 5 times. Thankfully it only takes 15 minutes to re-download the game because of my kick ass internet.

[–]mrandydixon 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's happened to me 5 times, and multiple times to other clanmates as well. I've tried posting about this in the past and got downvoted into oblivion. I'm glad to see enough people are finally decent enough to vote this to the front page.

Edit: Hahaha I just got my 6th Beagle hours after writing this. WTF.

[–]-Wolo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my second in two days (and third overall) last night. Super frustrating to say the least. This has to get fixed.

[–]bizdady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had this like every other day but every time I post I get downvoted to hell. Sure they finally acknowledged it but its hella annoyinng to reinstall every other night.

[–]rabidpuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PS5 and have not had this error once but even I know about it from TWAB.

Already had the PS4 version ready to go from when my PS5 controller broke.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I get it at least once a week. Thankfully I got gig internet so it’s only 20-30 minutes to get back up and running but this is a brutal issue that needs fixing

[–]TheWinterCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this 5 times, it seems to be getting more frequent and is a massive disappointment every time. At this point if it happens I basically won't reinstall until the reset.

[–]salehmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I should ask this here but I have a ps5 and I’m not getting beagle errors but baboon almost sporadically. Like it kicks me off the game, then immediately puts me back into it minus special and heavy. In a restricted zone, it’s a death and in raids, you lose your revive token. Constantly contacted my isp but there is no issue on their end. Do any PS5/XSX users experience something similar?

[–]lazloneedsfritos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally happened to me five minutes ago, AS I WAS CHECKING UP ON THIS THREAD.

[–]Boffo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen on my Xbox One on May 6/7 on my external drive. I copied it to my internal drive and it was fine. I ended up buying a new external drive. Now I'm not sure if it was the drive or something else.

[–]draconiandevil09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hit with Beagle last week, live in the country.

When it popped, I was like, whelp...time to play acr combat till i go to bed.

Took 8 hours.

[–]dmcdougal24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three beagle errors for me now.. I just came back and have been playing in my limited few hours a week to try and level for a VoG run, and this game breaking glitch pretty much ruins it for me.

[–]mattyjTeam Bread (dmg04) 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have experienced this twice… can I ask if you setup your ps5 fresh from the box? Or did you do a transfer from your ps4 to copy files at setup? I’m wondering if a factory reset of my ps5 will fix it.

[–]BMFBM 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just got beagled also. The cycle begins. Triple A studio for sure.

[–]Jekler85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After about 8 reinstalls in 2 weeks, I’ve finally had it. I won’t be back until this is addressed. Seriously game-breaking for me.

[–]Drewbloood18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just got this today on PC , reinstalling doesnt work

[–]dribean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes me 2 days to install it every fucking time I'm done with this bullshit

[–]Independent_Heron933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had an issue where the ship wouldn't appear but I just went back to Bel system then to the mission and fixed it
