Chat crashes game?

Hi, So far its been 72 hours and I still have not been able to enter chat for whatever reason. Anytime i press enter, after the initial game screen, the game completely crashes. I can't even send a whisper to a friend. What can i do?? It's very annoying especially when trying to join on someone's ID. Please send help

  • Hi. Thanks for your report. You may want to [url=https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335]verify the integrity of your game files[/url] in the Steam app to see if that helps with your issue. If that doesn't help, here are more suggestions that may help you: [quote] [b]1.[/b] Go to your Games library, right-click Destiny 2 and go to Properties. Click Local Files then Browse Local Files to open your Destiny 2 directory. Remove all files in this folder EXCEPT "Packages "then verify the integrity of Destiny 2 game files again. [b]2.[/b] Make sure that your HDD/SDD isn't full. [b]3.[/b] Update your drivers or do a fresh install [b]4.[/b] Some players have reported that changing the game language may resolve the issue. [b]5.[/b] Make sure everything in the D2 Steam folder isn’t set to read-only. [b]6.[/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/255709549?sort=0&page=0&path=2]This post suggests moving your game files around[/url]. [b]7.[/b] You may want to uninstall and reinstall D2 and Steam if none of these suggestions help. [/quote]

    • I have the exact same problem after the reset. I don’t use chat often, so I can’t tell for sure when this regression started on my machine. Now whenever I press enter to enter the chat, the game freezes for 5 seconds then exits to the desktop. I did follow suggestion #1, but it didn’t help, crash/freeze persisted. I’m in the process of reinstalling the game, will report back when I try again. There has been Windows update between the last time I was able to use the chat and when I noticed the freeze, so it’s hard to tell which software update is the culprit (I.e. D2 reset, windows update). It’s unlikely, but I will try updating/re-installing graphics driver if a fresh installation of game does not help.
