Destiny 2 PLUM

Bungie names this code but does not publish the wording it prints on screen, so we quote only the code itself: PLUM. Any site showing you an exact message for it has written one.

What it actually means

Bungie's description is one sentence: “BattlEye has detected a problem with your computer that may be in violation of Bungie's Terms of Service.”

That is the anti-cheat driver, not the game and not the servers. Consoles never produce this code.

How to tell which one you have

Nothing to tell apart. PLUM cannot be caused by a Destiny outage, so if you arrived here from a search for whether Destiny is down, it is not — at least not for this reason.

Fixes, in the order worth trying

1. Update Windows first — Bungie's own first instruction is to ensure the latest Windows update is installed before launching. BattlEye depends on current system components.
2. Close software that injects into other processes — Overlays, tuning utilities and capture tools are the usual triggers. Anti-cheat cannot tell a benign hook from a hostile one.
3. Work through the BattlEye documentation — Bungie links it directly from their own page, because the detection is BattlEye's rather than theirs.
4. Reinstalling Destiny achieves nothing — The check is against your system state, not the installation.

Operator documentation: help.bungie.net. Bungie documents its error codes in a public directory of over 300 articles. Those articles describe causes and fixes and never quote the in-game dialog, so neither do we.
