Bungie has released a new update for Destiny 2. According to the release notes, the Destiny 2 patch 1.0.6 fixes a memory leak that caused gradual performance degradation over time. However, it appears that this new patch has introduced some annoying stuttering issues.

Bungie is currently investigating these reports, so hopefully it will release a new hotfix in the coming days.

The Destiny 2 patch 1.0.6 also fixes an issue where Clan rosters were not showing properly. In addition, it comes with some gameplay fixes, as well as improvements for the Android and iOS apps.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from the Blizzard app, and you can view its complete changelog below.
