Destiny 2 PC beta: Here are keyboard bindings and potential errors you’ll encounter

Those getting ready for Destiny 2‘s PC beta can now take a look at keyboard bindings and potential error messages thanks to a new post from Bungie.

The beta starts up this week — those who’ve pre-ordered can already pre-load the beta via Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher.

First up, keyboard bindings:

Don’t worry if you don’t like what’s above — you can set your own bindings if desired.

Bungie has also detailed potential problems — and solutions — for common problems users may experience. They’re as follows:

  • Players may encounter issues when playing the Destiny 2 Beta with drivers that are out of date. Updating drivers to the latest version grants the best experience when playing Destiny 2 on PC.
  • The Destiny 2 Beta may not run when installed to a folder with some localized character types in its name (e.g. Greek, Cyrillic, Kanji, etc.). Players should ensure that they install the Beta to a path that does not include these character types, or use the default install location.
  • Players may encounter issues when joining the Fireteam of another player on their same local area network. Players who encounter this issue should ensure that they have UPnP enabled in their network settings.
  • MSAA is still under development. As such, players may encounter various issues including visual artifacts and performance degradation when using MSAA.
  • Multi-GPU support is still in development. Players may encounter issues including visual artifacts and performance impacts when using NVIDIA SLI. AMD Crossfire support is not available in the Destiny 2 PC Beta.
  • The Destiny 2 Beta must be launched from Blizzard’s Battle.net app. If players launch the Beta client directly from the executable, they may receive an error message or the Destiny 2 Beta client may become unresponsive.
  • Players who encounter this issue should close the Beta client through the user interface or by pressing Alt+F4, and proceed to launch the Destiny 2 Beta using the “Play” button in the Destiny 2 tab of the Blizzard app.
