How to Fix Error Code: Cat in Destiny 2

Whether you're preparing for the weekly reset in Destiny 2, or just trying to hop on and find the Bunker E15 Lost Sector, running into errors while loading up Destiny 2 can be frustrating. Lately, several Guardians have even mentioned running into Error Code: Cat, which keeps them from being able to log into the game.

Players will encounter the Error Code: Cat when playing Destiny 2 if they haven't updated the game and a new patch has been released. Bungie releases new patches for Destiny 2 often, allowing for bug fixes, balancing changes, and even new content to make an appearance in the game world. However, if you do not keep your game up to date, you might run into the Cat error code message.

Because Destiny 2 is considered a live service game that requires an internet connection to take part in, you'll need to ensure you are always up to date. The good news is, this error will most likely only occur on PC, where players have more control over how updates are downloaded and installed.

If you're playing Destiny 2 on the Microsoft Store, you can interact with the game's page and use the three dots on the page to check for updates. This will automatically look for any patches and then download and install them so that you can fix this error code.

Those playing Destiny 2 on Epic Games will need to restart the Epic Games Launcher completely to trigger an update. If that doesn't work, you can also verify the game files, which is handy for resolving corrupted files and other issues that might pop up in games.

Destiny 2 players enjoying the game through Steam can restart their Steam client to check for updates, or even verify the integrity of the game files through the Steam library options. Again, this option will take some time, as it has to check all of the game's files for issues. If you're experiencing this issue and you have installed the latest updates, then verifying the game files is also a good way to ensure there aren't any other issues popping up with the game files.

Once you do get Destiny 2 working again, you can start your hunt for the No Time to Explain exotic weapon, which is a nice pulse rifle many have been grinding for since its arrival in Destiny 2. If you still experience issues after all the troubleshooting steps above, you can reach out to Bungie support for more assistance.
