Destiny’s update tomorrow improves player connection; patch notes here

Bungie announced today that they will be rolling out an update to Destiny tomorrow that will improve the technology that enables players to connect to the game. The update will be applied at approximately 7:00am Pacific tomorrow, October 7, and maintenance is expected to last for several hours. During this time, you will be unable to play the game which kind of sucks seeing as how The Iron Banner begins tomorrow.

"Most of the changes included in this update will improve the technology that enables players to connect to Destiny. The player experience will remain unchanged, aside from the stability for some users who have encountered issues connecting to servers," Bungie detailed.

The full list of client and server fixes can be seen below:

Client fixes

  • Added more data logging for matchmaking systems
  • Improved connectivity failure handling to reduce beaver (Kick To Orbit events) KTOs
  • Improved logging of player disconnections
  • Internal tools fixes to speed up our release process
  • Fixes to the roster system to allow us to tune the frequency of roster updates on Xbox One
  • Fixed a bug that allowed users to quick scope on some weapons
Server Fixes
  • Security fixes
  • Server performance improvements
  • Fixes to reduce the frequency of some KTOs
  • Better logging to help diagnose connectivity problems
  • Fixes to some Centipede errors that were exclusive to specific player characters

In addition to tomorrow's hotfix, Bungie last week week made note of another separate update that will focus more on gameplay balancing. Though they didn't give an exact date, they did say the update — which is coming "very soon" — will bring a batch of "enhancements, refinements, fixes, and tweaks."
