The cat error occurs when a player launches the Destiny 2 game, but the game fails to launch with the error at hand. This problem is reported on all the game-supported OS/platforms like PCs, consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox), Steam, Blizzard, etc. The error means that the game requires an update, but either that update is unavailable (due to server maintenance) or the update is stuck in the process. The following can be the main causes for a cat error on the Destiny 2 game:
1. Perform a Cold Restart of the Devices
A temporary glitch in the device’s OS or game’s modules could result in the Destiny 2 cat error under discussion. Here, performing a cold restart of the devices may clear the Destiny 2 problem. For elucidation, we will discuss the process for a Windows PC. Before proceeding, ensure the Bungie servers are not under maintenance on the Official Twitter handle of the Bungie Help. If so, then you may wait till the maintenance ends. Otherwise, you may follow the methods below to clear the cat error on Destiny 2.
2. Manually Update the Destiny 2 Game to the Latest Build
If the Destiny 2 game on your device is missing the latest updates, then that could also result in the cat error. Manually updating Destiny 2 to the latest build may resolve the game issue. For a better interpretation, we will discuss the update process of the Destiny 2 game on the Blizzard launcher.
3. Clear The Download Cache of the Device or Platform
Many devices (like a PlayStation) or game platforms (like a Steam client) hold essential game-related data like an update in their cache. If the cache or download cache of the device or platform has become corrupt, then that could result in the Cat error on Destiny 2 as the essential update modules may fail to apply to the installed game. Also, no Destiny 2 update will be served from the servers to the device or platform as the update (although corrupt) is already present on the device or platform, causing the cat error. In this scenario, clearing the device cache or platform’s download cache may clear the Destiny 2 error at hand. For elucidation, we will go through the process of clearing the download cache of the Steam client.
4. Verify the Integrity of the Destiny 2 Game Files
If the essential game files of the Destiny 2 game have gone corrupt, then that could result in the cat error under discussion as a downloaded update is failing to apply to a corrupt game installation. In such a case, verifying the integrity of the Destiny 2 game files may clear the issue under discussion. For illustration, we will discuss the process of verifying the integrity of the Destiny 2 game files on Steam.
5. Reset or Reinstall the Destiny 2 Game
This issue might also occur if the very installation of the Destiny 2 game is corrupt and due to this corruption, a game update is not able to install on the game. Here, resetting or reinstalling the Destiny 2 game may solve the problem. Make sure to back up the essential game data/info. Also, do note that this might take data (100GB or more) and time (make sure you have fast internet) to complete. Warning: Try at your own risk as there are some reports where a player failed to log back into Destiny 2 after resetting or reinstalling the game when he encountered the Destiny 2 cat error.
