How To Fix Error Code CAT in Destiny 2

Guardians, are you encountering the dreaded error code CAT while venturing through the cosmos in Destiny 2? Fear not, for this error usually signifies a fixable network hiccup or outdated software. Here's your guide to silencing the CAT and getting back to the fight:

1. Update Your Arsenal (and Game)

Most commonly, the CAT error stems from running an outdated version of Destiny 2. Bungie, the developer, might have released a patch that addresses the very issue causing your connection woes. Here's how to update depending on your platform:

• Consoles (Xbox & Playstation): Head to your console's system settings and check for updates. The specific steps might vary slightly depending on your console model.
• PC (Steam): Launch the Steam client and navigate to your Library. Right-click on Destiny 2 and select "Properties" followed by "Local Files." Choose "Verify Integrity of Game Files" to ensure all files are up-to-date.
• PC (Epic Games Store): Restart the Epic Games Launcher entirely. Updates should automatically download and install upon launch.

2. Reboot and Refresh

Sometimes, a simple restart can work wonders. Power cycle your network router and modem by turning them off completely, waiting for a few seconds, and then powering them back on in sequence (router first, followed by the modem). This can clear up temporary network congestion.

3. Verify Your Game Files (PC Only)

Corrupted or missing game files can also trigger the CAT error. Here's how to verify them depending on your PC platform:

• Steam: Right-click on Destiny 2 in your Steam library, navigate to "Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify Integrity of Game Files."
• Epic Games Store: Go to your Library, click the three dots next to Destiny 2, and select "Verify."

4. Check Bungie's Server Status

Occasionally, Bungie might be conducting server maintenance, leading to connection issues for players. It's always a good idea to check their official website for server status updates before diving into further troubleshooting.

5. Seek Help from the Guardians

If none of these solutions resolve the CAT error, consider reaching out to Bungie Help (https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us). Their support team can offer more personalized assistance and troubleshoot based on your specific situation.

By following these steps, you should be well on your way to silencing the CAT error and rejoining your fellow Guardians in Destiny 2. Remember, Guardian, the fight for humanity awaits!
