One of these errors is “ Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Generic Error”.

Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Generic Error BattlEye Service is known for its share of error messages which can occur without any warning or you changing anything on your computer. It can be run individually and is used by Steam as well. Hopefully, Bungie brings it into fruition before or alongside this update to prevent that.BattlEye service is the main anti-cheating service which is responsible for protecting popular games like Fortnite, PUBG etc. However, cross-platform play is coming in season 15 and so if this software isn't implemented before then, hackers could affect those on other platforms. It should be noted that BattleEye is being introduced for PC in order to stop widespread hacking on the platform, not PlayStation or Xbox. It's a widely used software that can be found in games such as The Crew 2, PixARK, Conan Exiles, Escape from Tarkov, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, DayZ, Arma 3, and more. BattleEye is also an unsurprising choice to do so.

Given that Destiny 2 has had an 50% uptick in cheating since 2020, it isn't surprising that Bungie is making moves to crack down on them. Since Tom Warren corroborated the screenshot on Twitter, Bungie locked the support page pictured above with a password, seemingly confirming its validity. It looks as though the software will be implemented in a future update. BattleEye is not present in this update and so it seems that this is a placeholder. However, the screenshot mentions update 3.2.0 which is already live. He has now corroborated the screenshot which has been circulating online. As seen in The Verge reporter Tom Warren's tweet, Bungie has been trialling and testing BattleEye for Destiny 2 internally for several months.
