Both are provided via frequent updates. And that’s the problem we’re trying to tackle today. Namely, lots of users are unable to update the game through the Steam client, since the update is stuck on initialization.
What to do if Destiny 2 won’t update on Steam?
2. Restart the Steam client
Firstly, restart your PC and try running the Steam desktop client again. If the issue persists, you might need to kill the client process and allow it to restart the update sequence from the get-go. Even though we’re quite certain you’re well aware of network performance, we still encourage you to check everything out before we move to additional steps. So, check whether your PC is able to connect to the internet. If the issue is widespread and we can’t ascribe it solely to Ubisoft, follow these steps to troubleshoot network issues: ➡️ Restart your PC➡️ Use the wired connection➡️ Restart router and modem➡️ Flush DNS➡️ Make sure the ports➡️ Make sure the client can communicate freely through Firewall. Open Firewall and check the list of allowed apps. Confirm that Steam is allowed to connect to both public and private networks. You can do so in Task Manager, with a special focus on the Steam agent’s process. Here’s what you’ll need to do: In addition, you can right-click on the Steam desktop app and run it as admin. It might help overcome certain system-imposed limitations for third-party apps.
4. Clear Steam download cache
6. Remove the game folder and restore it before updating
Some users managed to resolve the issue at hand with one simple witty trick. And, the developer is, seemingly working on addressing all of those. However, when a certain game fails to update, we recommend reinstalling the client. Here’s how to uninstall and install again the Steam client on Windows 10: After removing game patches, files, and directories, you will have numerous leftovers and cache that you will not need. SPONSORED We recommend using third-party professional software like CCleaner to thoroughly remove the Steam desktop client from your computer. There may be persistent data that cannot be removed manually; therefore, CCleaner is an excellent tool for thoroughly removing any stored local files. If the software has been uninstalled but the program name remains, use CCleaner’s Delete Entry to delete the Steam desktop client uninstall entry. Because of that, we encourage you to check for the integrity of the game files and then move to the updating process. Here’s what you’ll need to do: It seems that the updating process is having issues determining where the game installation is stored. For that reason, the update process gets stuck. And, seemingly, no matter how many times you restart it — the result is the same. With this approach, you should be able to update Destiny 2 without any issues. Follow these instructions closely and be patient:
7. Wait for the servers to respond
Eventually, if the issue persists and you’re still unable to update Destiny 2, we advise you to wait. Sometimes servers will be clogged and you need to do is wait until the update is successfully downloaded and installed. In addition, don’t be discouraged if the UI shows download speed 0 kb/s. That’s hardly the case and we’re looking at the bug. Just restart your PC and wait some time until they fix what’s broken.
