Today’s Destiny Update Focuses On Technical Improvements

The Destiny servers went down for maintenance this morning at 7AM Pacific, giving Bungie the opportunity to apply the latest update that sees a number of fixes aimed at improving the technical aspects of matchmaking and KTO’s. Bungie have stated that the contents of the update are aimed at improving connectivity with the Destiny servers and as such some players may not notice any real difference when the servers return later today.

The release list of both client and server fixes can be seen below:

Client fixes

  • Fixed a bug that allowed users to quick scope on some weapons

Server Fixes

  • Security fixes
  • Server performance improvements
  • Fixes to reduce the frequency of some KTOs
