Destiny 2 renegades won’t open on steam

I click launch and it never opens. I can see battle eye and destiny 2 running in the task manager , But the game never opens. I tried verify game integrity on steam, it went fine and didn’t fix it. Currently doing a full reinstall to see if that does it.

    Deleting steam_api64.dll from the D2 install directory seems to have fixed the issue for me. I can log in and play the game.

      Same issue, and no solution works. Hope they fix it soon! Edit: @Aeadar's solution works! Deleting the steam_api64.dll file in the Destiny 2 directory allowed me to finally launch the game.

    • Facing the same issue. BattleEye would initiate and then it would sit on desktop, not launching the game at all while running processes in the background with 0% usage.
