Hello,
I would like to begin and say this is not an issue with my PC at all and I will explain why. Also, I play on Steam.
In the past 3 days the game have been constantly crashing to desktop when trying to go into any activity / fly to the tower, I've tried [b]A LOT[/b] of [i]"fixes"[/i] on the internet but not a single one of them works, I will list everything I've tried so far:
- Shader Cache cleaning / temp files removal.
- Updating / Rolling back drivers for Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti (I used DDU for complete removal / reinstallation).
- Switching from Game Ready driver and Studio Driver along with the removal of Geforce Experience while only keeping the driver.
- Uninstalling / Reinstalling the game 4 different times, one of them was on Epic Games and the game still crashed.
- Formatting my PC and literally only have Steam + Destiny.
- Making sure I have no overclocking whatsoever (I have read overclocking doesn't work well with destiny's engine).
- Completely uninstalling Gaming Services from Microsoft and installing a specific version that a lot of users found working for them, didn't work for me.
- Disabled any overlay that might interfere with the game.
- Making sure I have less than 300 friends on steam (Yes this was a possible cause for crashes too believe it or not).
There might be more things that I did but I lost track at this point.
But then it dawned on me, what if the issue isn't from my PC it might be from the account itself or something happened in game to cause my account across all my 3 characters to become "stuck" in orbit, so I asked a friend to borrow their account to see if the issue was indeed from my account. And Lo and Behold, the game worked flawlessly. I managed to go to the tower roamed around took some bounties even launched a strike and the game was smooth as butter. This is the [b]ONLY[/b] solution that worked with me. My account at the moment is basically frozen in orbit and I can't do anything.
I write this here because I want to see other people who have the same problem to try and see if their friend's account will indeed work with their own PC and it's not an issue from their end.
Bungie please fix this.
Edit:
As of 26/09/2022
The game started to work randomly out of nowhere without having to change anything and I'm able to go into any activity, I would assume bungie did something about this but I'm still unsure.
However, I'll keep this post without deleting it just so people can see that they are not alone in this and eventually it will get fixed, just make sure if you do have a problem make sure to mention it in forums so bungie can continue to look into this.

As of 27/09/2022, it is still crashing, both the Steam and Epic versions I have. Thought I'd make one more comment on this, to keep it up for visibility.
