Destiny 2 players have complained that, like most online games, there are a number of strange errors they've encountered while playing D2. One of these is the Error Code CAT. To quote the developers themselves: “A new update to Destiny is available. If you are seeing this error the first time you launch Destiny, please exit the game and apply the update before relaunching.” So, essentially, this is what happens when your game hasn’t been updated to the latest version. We are going to show you how to fix Destiny 2’s Error Code CAT on every platform that the game is available on.
How to Fix Destiny 2 Error Code CAT on PC
