Why can’t I get past signing in Destiny 2?

You can’t get past signing into Destiny 2 because servers are down, your internet is not working, game files are corrupted, the network driver is outdated, background apps are consuming your internet bandwidth, or you use an unreliable wireless internet connection. Additionally, the problem might be related to your networking device, ISP, or the VPN software you are using.
