Destiny 2 'Cannot read game content' error

OK, so I have re-installed the game twice, and verified more times then I can count. Deleting the Steam file steam_appid64 (somehow it's an app extention on mine?) and that causes the game to have the error rather then launching at all. I tried running in Admin, that slowed the error for a while. Re-installing makes it take a lot longer to show up- about 6 hours of game play the first time, and 5 the second re-install. Verifying files seems to do nothing, no files are missing unless I deleted steam_appid64 per Bungie's suggestion again, then it finds that and nothing else. Crash seems to be related to a new event or quest showing up as completing a quest has caused most of the crashes, and a public event showing up/entering the area of a public event has caused more. Also, out of nowhere a public event showing has twice caused all text to disappear, and the menu to be blank, and not work. Fortunately Task-manager killing still works just fine. I have all the DLC, and the issue started after I migrated my account successfully, then bought Shadowkeep. Crash happened less then half an hour later. Tried deleting old character, starting a new after my first re-install, that delayed it about 6 hours. voice-lines keep running on a black-screen after crash, and the little error box pops up dropping me to desktop with Destiny 2 still running on black screen. Friend commented that until I closed it he could still see me as active on the server. Connection where I am is very good, I have 16GB RAM, intel integrated graphics, I5 processor on a Lenovo laptop. Planetside 2 runs fine, Warframe runs fine so I know it ain't my hardware. Please help, after re-installing twice, and verifying 30 odd times I have no idea what to do since the only 'fixes' available either want me to open the game already running (steam won't let me do that y'all) or delete a file that if deleted, caused the game to crash instantly on launch.

  • I have this same problem, but for me it happens with everything except for Crucible. It's really infuriating. It got better when the game updated, but since then it's been bad again.

    • Further issue: game has now crashed *four Times* in a row trying to talk to Eris Morn, the 'approach' circle goes through, and right when it would finish, BAM 'cannot read game content' crash. Normally I would not comment if it were not so consistent, and making doing the Vex moon event quest... Problematic. I managed to get through the gate-guardian thing despite crashes but this is kinda not even giving me a chance, since I really doubt a fifth time will do anything to help. Have validated files every crash since last re-install, never finds anything missing.

      • I've got a Ryzen 3 2200 G, 16GB (4x4), a 250 GB SSD for the install folder, and a 2060 for my GPU and I still have this issue. I've also found out that Xbox users are also having this same issue so its not just a PC issue
