i5 7600K
16 GB RAM
GTX 1080
Destiny installed on SSD
Since BL, I have noticed my average framerate is lower (used to be around 120, now about 84) and will get occasional stutters with noticeable lines across the screen (2-4x per hour), usually when loading into new areas.
I was also previously plagued with the "verify game files" error and tried every solution suggested to no avail. This would happen maybe a few times a week. Yesterday alone I received this error over 5 times. The error & crash usually happens when loading into a new area, but not always. One of the crashes yesterday happened while I was just standing in the tower. On the plus side, verifying the game files now goes faster.
Game settings are high on most things. Note this is the only game of hundreds on my PC where I experience issues with crashing or stuttering.
[b]The frame rate issue is less concerning right now, but the "verify game files" errors and crashes are making the game extremely difficult to play. I fear for the impact it will have on my raid team next weekend to get a 24-hour clear. Are there any new solutions for this?[/b]
[i][u]For background, the fixes I have tried:[/u]
Verify game files in Steam
Reboot
Deleting all files from game folder except "packages" and verifying in Steam
Uninstall/reinstall
Reinstall on SSD (from HDD)
Put GPU in debug mode
Run Steam and Destiny as administrator
Set Destiny as high priority
Cleared Steam download cache
Installed MS Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable x64 Package and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7
Set Destiny 2 to use the high performance graphics card
Set Destiny 2 as exempt in antivirus
Checked firewall settings
Updated drivers
(Attempted the delete "steam_api64" file fix, but the file did not exist on my PC)[/i]

5 RepliesI've got pretty much part of the same issue as you, save that you have a slightly higher CPU than I do (i have a i5-6500). Exception being I've not had to verify the game files, just the frame rate drop part. My setup is having it go from 60 down to the mid 40s at times in activities and when loading new areas on destinations. Haven't found anything to resolve this myself, thought it was due to my older hardware (compared to some people on here) but others have brand new hardware are are getting the frame rate issue so I'm thinking it's some issue with optimization on the game side. Here's hoping the team figures out whatever this is causing the drops, and whatever is causing your game files error as well. (Or we get a driver update that helps it out, I'd take either at this point). Out of curiosity, when you get the stutters on loading new areas does the stutter drop your frames much lower than the "regular" drop? Asking as I've seen people noting the drop but not how much it drops.
