Destiny 2 Suffers Rollback After Major Bug Wipes Inventories


Destiny 2’s update 2.7.1 was the source of a whole lot of problems yesterday after players logged in to find that some of their inventories and achievements had just been straight up wiped. The servers were quickly shut down so Bungie could investigate the cause and roll out a fix, however the extent and reach of the glitch meant that accounts would have to be rolled back to where they were at 8:30 a.m. PST.

The good news is that players will lost at most nearly two hours of progress assuming that they played from the moment the server came up through the moment it went offline. Not a huge loss for the grand majority.

Today, Update 2.7.1 introduced an issue that affected currencies and pursuits. We immediately brought the game offline to mitigate any loss of materials while we investigated. We have identified the issue and the good news is that we were able to deploy an update to the server and will not have to update the game client.

We have rolled all character data back to our most recent backup at 8:30 a.m. Pacific before the issue was introduced. This will restore any lost materials caused by the issue, but players will lose any progress they made if they played between 8:30 a.m and 10:20 a.m. when we brought the game down for maintenance. Any purchases made using Silver or Bright Dust during this window will need to be repurchased. Any Silver spent or purchased will be restored.

The server update is complete and we are beginning to bring the game back online now. Stay tuned to @Bungiehelp for updates.
