- Screen Bounds on AZERTY Keyboards: Players may receive an incorrect key prompt when adjusting screen bounds on an AZERTY keyboard.

- Corporate and University Networks: Some players may be unable to play Destiny 2 on corporate or university networks. Players who encounter this issue must contact their IT department, to meet the connectivity standards outlined in the Network Troubleshooting Guide.
If you are still running into issues, Bungie suggests deleting the CVARS.xml file which is located in \Users\USER_NAME\Appdata\Roaming\Bungie\DestinyPC\prefs\ (a new one will be created when you launch the game).
As always it's recommended that you make sure you're using the current drivers for AMD or Nvidia as to avoid possible problems that may arise on older drivers.
