Steam Hasn't Been Automatically Installing my D2 Updates

[cerealkeller]

the last two times there was an update for Destiny 2, I tried to login and got kicked out because Steam hasn't been installing the update. A friend of mine confirmed it happened to him as well. You need to fix this Steam, it's a minor inconvenience, but I'm pretty good at trouble shooting, someone newer to PC's might just assume Bungie is having server issues.

Hi there!

If you are experiencing issues with downloading updates on Steam, I highly recommend making a post on the Help and Tips forum on the main Steam Discussion page.

You can try changing your update priority to high priority.

Right click on the game, then click on Properties. Then, in the Update section, under Automatic Updates, click on High Priority.

been having the same issue for a little while just now. Easy fix.. all I did was go into the task manager, end all destiny 2 apps running, and restart your computer. I fired it back up, logged in right away. Hope it helps!

I just went to the downloads page and it was at the bottom under unscheduled updates I believe and I updated it manually by clicking on the button off to the right next to the update

I tried that, I will have to wait and see if it works. I do have a Steam Deck, so the multiple devices aspect of the download cache may have been affecting me.

yes, that button, but you shouldn't have to go in and do it yourself

Hold on...you could launch the game without updating? That's...bold

But also this is how it's always worked for me, I log in, I got to my downloads section see if there are any updates, hit the updates button, wait a few minutes and bam, I'm gaming, I've never logged in once, even with "auto updates" turned on and seen the steam client automatically download something, unless I see an update, log out, and then log back in

You may have your updates set to manually install. But I've never had to update Destiny 2 until recently. As far as I'm aware Steam does it when I log in. I usually don't open Steam by launching a game, I usually open Steam, then launch the game after I see what's on sale.
