The highly-awaited PC version of the popular game from Bungie, "Destiny 2," has already been released. However, it would appear that the first few days has not exactly been pleasant for video game players, since there have been reports of multiple bans. At first, the players were shocked and confused as to why they have been banned in the first place, but the developers over at Bungie have provided an explanation why.
In a report by Polygon, Bungie has released a report stating that an estimated 400 players have been banned since the release of the PC version of "Destiny 2." The reason behind the mass banning of players is due to those who utilize any means of cheating – whether it be through attempted hacks at the game's software or by the use of a cheating software.
The developers are obviously taking cheating seriously, especially since the game is entirely online based and there is an in-game economy. Even the slightest form of cheating could affect the world-wide experience of the game as a whole. However, before the bans have been expounded upon by Bungie, complaints have been addressed through different avenues such as IGN.
Initially, players were dishing out complaints while firmly stating that they had not done anything to merit the bans that they have been sentenced with. This has frustrated some of the players, especially since a few have said that the bans were almost instantaneous after they logged in. The cases have been assumed by the players to be a bug in the system, but Bungie has been firm in their statement that all of the bans were rightfully given out.
Fortunately, in some cases, there are ways to get around being banned. In a report by Rolling Stone, there are certain precautions that players can take before installing the game to ensure that they do not encounter any issues upon logging in.
Players will have to make sure that their operating systems are updated to the most recent versions, making use of SLI, HDR, and VSync features for graphics; and they should avoid switching tasks while the AMD Cross Fire feature is enabled. There are also a few minor issues, but these are things that can be rectified through updates.
