I haven't been on Destiny 2 in a very long time. Cross save wasn't a thing when I last played. I started on xbox years ago but have been playing on PC for several years now. I logged on today and my name got changed to Guardian####. Well I wanted my steam name back. I read to just disable cross save and unlink my account. I did that and it caused me to lose all of my saved progress. I now can't get it back for another 89 days. Is there any way around this? and how can I get my steam name to populate again in Destiny 2

Hey, Unfortunately you cannot bypass the 90 day wait time and Bungie cannot make any exceptions to this, this measure was put in place by Bungie for security reasons in an effort to prevent fraud, bypassing it is impossible, Bungie cannot deactivate Cross Save on someone’s behalf for the same security reasons. [quote]Cross Save is intended to be a one-time action, but we realize there may be cases in which you want to visit the characters you left behind. Once Cross Save has been disabled, you will have access to your original characters on each platform. There is a 90-day wait to re-enable the feature. This policy exists to discourage activity like account recoveries by other players. For those interested in removing Cross Save from their account, click here and click the “View Setup” button. On the next page, players will be shown their Cross Save setup. To deactivate Cross Save, click the “Deactivate Cross Save” button located at the bottom of the page. Players must authenticate all accounts before they can deactivate Cross Save. Doing so will result in an unskippable 90-day deactivation period for all accounts previously involved in the Cross Save setup.[/quote] For more information on Cross Save have a look at the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049498031-Destiny-2-Cross-Save-Guide]Destiny 2 Cross Save Guide[/url]. -
Edited by ADragonWithin: 1/30/2022 1:44:58 AMIn addition to what Chill said about Cross-Save; your Bungie Name was set upon initial login, and was set to Guardian because the system felt that some issue with your name was inappropriate. You cannot change your name until Bungie implements the Name Change system near the Witch Queen launch. Disabling Cross-Save is not a way to fix your name.
