Multiple players have contacted IGN about the problem overnight, and both the Bungie.net forums and the Destiny subreddit have been flooded with posts about the problem.Some believed this to be connected to certain performance or chat-related overlays interacting with Destiny 2. However, Destiny Community Manager Cozmo has said that these programs are simply blocked, and will not result in bans. Similarly, many players who have been banned say they haven't used any overlays.Many bans appear to be applied as soon as the game opens, perhaps indicating that a cheating countermeasure of some kind is being tripped. No timescale for the ban is given, simply asking affected players to visit the Bungie ban webpage That page explains that "there are NO options to dispute or overturn account restrictions or bans", although the widespread nature of this issue would suggest it's a bug of some kind.No alternative reasoning has so far been given for the bans; IGN has contacted Activision for comment.Thinking of jumping on the Destiny 2 PC train (maybe once this issue is sorted)?
