Bungie developers have just rolled out a new set of patch notes for Destiny 2, adding several bug fixes and tuning adjustments to the game. However, it also appears that these notes have caused extended server downtime and some new error codes for players to navigate. Here's more on the causes of the chicken error code in Destiny 2 and how you can get it fixed so you can get back in the game.
Destiny 2 Chicken error code cause
Error code Chicken has begun popping up for many Destiny 2 players attempting to log in to the game right at the release of patch 8.0.0.4 on June 18.
This error code, according to Bungie Help, is caused by players having connection issues to Destiny 2 servers. In this case, likely due to the new set of patch notes and extended maintenance time that was just announced at 1:17 p.m. CST on June 18.
