Bungie moved into damage control mode as soon as the update was launched. There were issues that were preventing users from singing in, on both platforms. A sudden spurt in traffic was handled by implementing a sign in queue, so players had to wait a while before they could start. Bungie reported that some issues with users sign in were identified, but revealed no specifics.
