The Destiny 2 “Tapir” error code usually indicates a connection issue to the game’s servers. It most often occurs when Destiny 2 servers are down for maintenance or overloaded.
Here are the common causes and fixes for error code Tapir:
Causes of Tapir Error:
Destiny 2 servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance or experiencing downtime.
Overcrowded servers causing connection timeouts.
Network or ISP issues interfering with connection to Bungie servers.
Issues with Steam or platform verification during sign-in.
Some regions or countries facing access restrictions or IP blacklisting.
How to Fix Destiny 2 Tapir Error:
Check Server Status
Visit Bungie’s official help Twitter: @BungieHelp or the Destiny Server Status page to verify if servers are down.
Power Cycle Your Router
Turn off your modem/router, unplug the power, wait 1-2 minutes, then reconnect and power up.
Unlink Twitch Account (If Recently Linked)
Unlink your Twitch account via Bungie settings, as it has been reported to trigger Tapir for some users.
Update the Game
Ensure Destiny 2 is updated to the latest version on your platform.
Enable UPnP on Your Router
Allow Universal Plug and Play to improve connectivity, though it comes with some security risks.
Use a VPN
If you suspect region-specific restrictions or IP blocks, try using a VPN service to connect via a different region.
Keep Trying to Connect
Sometimes simply attempting reconnects over several minutes will resolve the error when the servers stabilize.
Restore Licenses (Console Players)
On PlayStation, use the “Restore Licenses” option under account management.
These steps should address most causes of the Tapir error. If the issue persists beyond known server downtimes, contacting Bungie Support with detailed information about your connection might help.
