Bungie has provided an update on the recent connection issues plaguing Destiny.
In a brief tweet not long ago, the developer said they found what they believe to be the cause of the "Newt" errors that have been disrupting service for Guardians around the world. They are also working on a fix.
We believe we've identified the root cause of the "Newt" errors and are working on a fix right now. Thanks for your patience!
