Destiny 2 Blocks Discord and Game Capture Programs
update 07/08/2017
Put on Your Technical Caps!
In an effort to even the odds between third-party application users and those who don't, Bungie is making it difficult for any compatibility with programs such as Discord and OBS. The motion was keep third-party codes from interfering with the Destiny 2 game while it was running. In the process, statistics overlays, Discord overlays, game captures and the like may not work an intended.
In particular, these programs won't work with Destiny 2:
OBS/ Open Broadcaster
One of the most popular and widely used game capture applications by streamers along side...
XSplit
Another alternative game capture application that is more user friendly for less technical users.
Dxtory
Razer Cortex
Fraps
What Works
To capture while playing in Exclusive Fullscreen:
-Hardware capture through methods such as Elgato, AVerMedia, or a dedicated streaming PC is supported. -NVIDIA Shadowplay and AMD ReLive are supported.
To capture while playing in Windowed Mode (including Borderless Fullscreen):
-OBS and XSplit Screen Capture mode is supported. -OBS and XSplit Window Capture mode is supported.
Hardware Monitoring and Communication Apps
Framerate and statistics overlays, such as those provided by EVGA Precision XOC, MSi Afterburner, and Fraps, are not compatible with Destiny 2 and "Who's talking" and visual notification features, such as those provided by Discord or Mumble, are not compatible with Destiny 2.
Bungie notes that these restrictions are only but a sample of the list of code injecting programs that Destiny 2 won't be compatible with and advises caution as using these programs may mess with Destiny 2's performance or not work at all.
