How Can I Fix Error Code BEE in Destiny 2?
Here are some steps you can take to fix the BEE error in Destiny 2:
- Check and reboot your internet connection
- Check if the game’s servers are online
- Set a static IP address
- Try port forwarding.
Check Your Internet Connection
You might be facing this error because your internet connection is spotty. Conduct a simple speed test to judge the quality and stability of your internet connection. If you have less-than-average speed or higher ping count, follow up with your internet service provider. If both these conditions are up to the mark, i.e. the speed is high and the ping count is low, try resetting your router.
If you are using a dual-band router, i.e. 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, try swapping between these connections. Alternatively, if you are playing using an Ethernet connection; try plugging the cable into another Ethernet port. You can also try using a different cable if you have one readily available. Restarting your modem or router is also a recommended step, even if you are using a wired, i.e. ethernet connection.
Ensure Bungie’s Servers Are Up and Running
If your internet connection isn’t the issue, it’s possible that Bungie’s network might be down. Check the Bungie help account on Twitter as the support team posts updates about server maintenance. Other than server maintenance, issues like possible DDoS attacks might also affect the server’s potency and cause you to see such errors.
Some other quick fixes include:
- Restarting your console.
- Ensuring that you have the latest version of both Destiny 2 and your console firmware.
If you are using a PC, try the following quick hacks:
- Verifying game files.
- Updating all essential drivers.
- Allow Windows Firewall Defender Access for Destiny 2.
Fixing Error Code BEE in Destiny 2 for PC Users
If you are playing Destiny 2 using a computer and are frequently facing this error, here are some alternate solutions you can try out. Ensure that you have gone through the solutions above and try these only if the issue persists.
Set A Static IP Address
As error code BEE in Destiny 2 primarily occurs when the internet connection is faulty, enabling static IP is a great workaround. This can offer you an improved internet connection. Here’s how Windows 7, 8, and 10 users can set a static IP address:
- Click on Start and go to the Control Panel.
- Open Network and Sharing Center and click Change Adapter Settings.
- Right-click on Wi-Fi or Local Area Connection and select Properties.
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
- Select Use the following IP address.
- Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, and DNS server.
- Click on OK.
Try Port Forwarding
If the static IP address doesn’t work for you, I recommend using port forwarding as it helped me boost my connection speed and decreased the latency fluctuation.
- Access your router’s settings (type in your router’s IP address in a webpage, log in using your username and password).
- Go to the Port Forwarding section.
- Choose Add a Service.
- Create a new port forwarding rule and tag it Destiny 2.
- Set TCP: 3074,27015-27030,27036-27037
- Set UDP: 3074,4380,27000-27031,27036
If none of these solutions work, I suggest you reach out to Bungie’s support team on Twitter.
