Destiny 2: How to Fix the Olive Error Code
Get up to speed on how Bungie is handling the Olive error in Destiny 2's beta.
Destiny 2's beta is up and running on PS4 and Xbox One ahead of the console version's full launch this September, but a mysterious error code called "Olive" is dampening the experience for many players. Bungie is aware of the error and working to roll out a fix. In the meantime, there are a few workarounds you can try if Olive has proven an obstacle.
What is Destiny 2's Olive Error?
"Olive" doesn't lend itself to easy interpretation. While Bungie may not know what's going on under the hood of its Destiny 2 beta, the developer hasn't shared the bug's precise cause as of yet. Olive seems to strike at different times for different players. One complaint logged on Bungie's forums mentions the bug occurring in the middle of a cutscene. Others reported the error code interrupting them during gameplay and booting them back to the character select screen.
Fortunately, Bungie is actively investigating error code Olive. "Please retry that activity again and resume what you were doing before the error occurred. If you encounter this error again, please exit Destiny then relaunch," reads an official update. If you continue to see this error, it’s likely due to testing we are doing on our end, please pardon our dust! Watch help.bungie.net and follow @BungieHelp for updates."
