⚠️ Common Issues During Login
Queues: Expect to see a “Destiny 2 is at capacity” message if you try to log in right at 10:30 PM.
Error Code SHEEP: If you try to join a friend and get this error, it means one of you hasn’t downloaded the new update yet. Restart your console/Steam to force the download.
Cross-Play Issues: Clan features and roster lists sometimes take an extra hour to “warm up” after the servers come back online.
