Many mix-criticism are circulating the globe about the highly-anticipated video game called Destiny, but some players are not ranting and ridiculing for problems about the game because they are experiencing some technical issues due to their networks. Unfortunately, some college students have been reporting the on-going problem with the developer. Luckily, Bungie made an announcement that proclaims that they will share more details in regards to solving this complication.


In September 10, 2014 (the day after the schedule launch), Bungie released a tweeter message about the numerous reports to followers who have contacted them.

 

Dubbed as “Centipede Error“, this major issue and file report has persisted into Bungie’s forums and through the Twitter hashtag (#fixcentipede). To dissolve the error, the developer has published a list of instructions for the college’s IT team, so these maintenance workers could fix the targeted problem. Because the college and university staff are responsible provider of the network, so they are the ones who ultimately decide to allow any network changes. As such, these players might or might not gain any access to the online content for Destiny.

As a quick reminder, the affected players have pointed out that they don’t have permission to change network settings. While online users are able to reconfigure port ranges and other network setups easily on a home network, colleges and universities don’t often allow students to alter these settings for security and protection reasons.

While waiting for more reports to come in, what do readers think about this complicated situation for the college students? Can readers picture them returning or visiting their homes to play hours inside their rooms before heading back to the academic environment? This writer believes folks didn’t find “destiny” at all at these scholarly places.

Remember though, Destiny was launched for the XBox 360, XBox One, PlayStation 3 and PS4. For more information about this innovative title, please visit the official website.
