2

I've downloaded Destiny 2 on an external hard drive to play on my laptop, but I'm not able to play the game. Before, normally, I even see my Guardian, the game crashes with the error 'Problem reading game content'. I've tried every method I've found online but nothing is working.

    This is on Steam, correct? Have you tried verifying game content using the right-click menu?

  • Yeah, it’s on Steam (that’s why I tagged it lol) and I’ve tried verifying but it doesn’t work.

  • This is speculation, but your USB drive may not be fast enough. Destiny requires really high I/O speeds to be able to run. Unless it's running USB 3.1 or better, it's running quite a bit slower than the SATA3 standard.

  • You know what? A few days ago I came to the same conclusion myself. Judging by the awful file transfer speed, especially when loading games from the drive, and the fact it's an HDD instead of the SSD I presumed it simply to not have the transfer capability to run such a huge game as Destiny. Ah, well. My FPS would probably have capped at 10 anyway ;-;.
