Hi everyone,
I play Destiny 2 for about ten months now. I never experienced any issues.
On the 8th when I started the game I was told that it needs a scan and repair. So i ran a scan and repair, which found and repaired something.
Yesterday I played Iron Banner and got a blackscreen while hanging around in the loading screen. Was still hearing sound of the game. It then showed a little windows message telling me to run scan and repair and closed the game. I did so and it told me that nothing needed to be repaired.
Later that day the same scenario happened again.
The last thing I did was playing a Gambit match. Everything was fine.
Today, approximately 12 hours later, I wanted to play some Gambit. It worked fine 'til I was dropped into the first round. After about 30 seconds the game crashed and told me to scan and repair. Found nothing that needed to be corrected.
I started again after that and tried anew. Same result. The match worked for a short time, then kicked me out with black screen and scan and repair.
I ran the scan and it found it repaired something. Glad that it worked I restarted the game, played some strikes, some lost sectors and ran around in the tower for some time without any issues and then launched a Gambit match. The same thing happened. After a short time playing I got kicked out of the game with scan and repair message and blackscreen.
I ran scan and repair and searched the internet for other threads regarding this issue. According to what was written there I:
- checked my RAM without any errors occuring
- checked my drives with two different programs that found no problems
- ran a chkdsk with /f and my device found nothing that was causing problems and needed a repair
- updated my video card drivers
- updated the drivers on my SSD's
- updated everything my system told me could need a newer version
- checked for weird characters in the file names in the directory of destiny 2 without finding any
- set the games priority to High
- restarted my PC multiple times during that phase and after everything was done
- no other game produced any weird behaviour
- I run windows 7 so I can't revert some win 10 patches that are known to cause issues
- nothing is overclocked so I couldn't set it back to normal
- nothing is overheated
I then launched the game again and launched gambit to check if it worked.
It didn't. I was able to play the beginning of the first round and got the same error.
I am sad I can't play the game normally anymore.
I feel extremely sorry for my mates during that matches that needed to play outnumbered because of that issue.
I now am suspended from Gambit sadly, at least according to what the game told me when I opened it again after restarting, so I can't test whether whatever I do works until that timespan of one week? two weeks? more? is over.
I am currently running another scan on my data. I read some system error/info in the logs that have nothing to do with destiny but could by a low chance mean that something is damaged although they could also mean nothing. The drive is a month old and everything else runs perfectly fine.
I have looked into the destiny 2 crash log and realised an interesting line:
halt information:
resourcerer:load: Failed to load tag with path '<N/A>' and description '<N/A>' 0x80B76068 (0x01bb 104) from package {{w64_sandbox_01bb_2.pkg}} with error 'error riddle failure, {{!0x00000000!}}' install type {{!5!}}
That line was there directly before the fatal error in all crash logs (just with the w64_pvp_sabre_03d5_2.pkg file for the iron banner loading screens).
Does anyone have any idea what causes this issue and how to solve it?

Try one more thing. Set destiny2.exe in installation folder to run as Administrator. It's like there is some issue with Windows 7 UAC. I had exactly same crashes with "N/A" resource identifiers and this fixed it for me. Playing longer than a week without single "access violation exception" or "scan & repair" popup.
