Bungie Working on Fixing Destiny's PvP Lag

Not all Destiny lag issues are due to cheating.

In the latest Bungie Weekly Update, the developer said it’s taking steps to combat lag problems.

"If you’re manipulating network traffic, or if your connection is so bad that you’re unintentionally compromising the experience of other players, we’ll issue a temporary restriction from all Crucible activity," community manager David "Deej" Dague wrote.

"The first round of these restrictions went live yesterday. The second wave is happening as we speak. As always, we start small to ensure our tools are properly calibrated, and widen the net as we become more confident that we’re ensnaring the actual perpetrators of shenanigans."

Permanent bans will also be handed out to repeat offenders.

"Play nice, and please make use of our in-game reporting tools should you come across a player you believe needs some extra time and attention from our team," Dague added.

"Our matchmaking engineers are also monitoring the overall health of the matchmaking pool writ large with an eye toward making improvements across the board. You’ll be hearing from that team about their progress in the weeks to come."
