There are a number of Destiny: The Taken King problems and issues.

As regular users play Destiny: The Taken King, we are hearing about problems and issues with gameplay and other roadblocks.

Join us for a look at Destiny: The Taken King problems, how to fix some of these issues, where to go for support and other important issues.

Destiny: The Taken King Problems

Bungie confirmed five main Destiny: The Taken King problems on twitter, that they are investigating. These issues impact users on the Xbox 360 as well as on newer consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One.

  • Xbox 360 players who wish to purchase Destiny: The Taken King ($40 USD) or the Collector’s Edition Upgrade ($60 USD) can do so via the in-game prompt on the Director. The upgrades will not be available on the Xbox Marketplace, only the Legendary Edition and the full Collector’s Edition.
  • Some users are reporting that the Golden Chest count was reset on their Moments of Triumph at 2am PDT. We are actively investigating.
  • We are aware of an issue that Crucible rank package display as “Vanguard”. These are, in fact, Crucible packages and will give Crucible rewards.
  • The Suros Arsenal weapons and Vanguard Weapon Pack Items can be found at the Vanguard Quartermaster, located in the Tower Hangar.
  • The Digital Collector’s Edition Upgrade ($20) may not be available for purchase at this time. We are aware of this issue and are actively investigating.

If you run into the Xbox 360 Destiny: The Taken King error, you should follow these instructions to fix the problem. Bungie is investigating the rest of these issues.

Fix Requires Taken King Error

We are hearing from users on PS4 and Xbox One who cannot play the game. After the cinematic trailer they see an error that states, “Requires Taken King” and they cannot progress.

If you are on the Xbox One, you should go to the store and install every part of the bundle. One user on Reddit said this fixed the problem. Another suggest is to put the on screen selection on Destiny, press the menu button, choose manage game, then Install. 

For PS4 owners with this problem, the easiest fix is to Restore Licenses and to Activate your console as the primary PS4.

Destiny: The Taken King Bubble Glitch

On the PS4 and Xbox One users report that when a bubble pops the game crashes and players lose progress. You can see this happen in the video below.

You may be able to fix this Taken King problem by switching your options. One user reports it is linked to, “having weapons of light and another option active at the same time.”, but he is unable to offer the exact combination.

Moments of Triumph Golden Chests Problems

As confirmed above another major Destiny: The Taken King problem is that some users who completed Moments of Triumph early lost progress and see a 0 out of 20 Golden Chests Count. On Reddit a Bungie employee confirms, “We are aware of this issue and currently investigating.”

While there is no fix and Bungie does not include specific instructions, many users are taking screenshots for proof that they completed the tasks.

Where to Go to Report Taken King Problems

If you have Destiny: The Taken King problems, you need to tell Bungie about them.

    I have the physical version of destiny with the expansion pass and I chose to buy the digital collector’s because I did not want to go out and buy one. Although I have purchased the digital collector’s when I start the game from my home screen (with physical disc) it says I require the taken king to play anything. Please help. P.S. I am on the 360.

    I am not able to get the Suros pack even though I put in the codes twice. Also I have purchased all of the expansions and now the $80 dollar collectors edition of the Taken King and I was told that the special Sparrow was supposed to come with it. It did not and someone I know downloaded the copy and received it. PLEASE fix this or tell me what to do…

    Thanks.

    I bought the taken king expansion pack on the Xbox 360 but I recently bought an Xbox one and when I transferred accounts and reinstalled destiny it says I need to buy the expansion pack again. I don’t know if I’m missing something or if this is just a bug that needs to be fixed. If you have any advice please help.

    My Nebula Glow shader and my Nightstalker cloak are both there, but it says I require Taken King Collectors Edition to access them. They were working fine two days ago, any advice?

    I have just bought Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition, my question is, is the game support to come with dlc codes or is it on the disc, because if it is codes then I have been ripped off, and no, I did not buy it pre-owned, I bought it brand new.
