How to fix Destiny 2 Tapir error code
Wait for server maintenance to finish
Firstly, check Destiny’s socials for any server updates and how long they’ll last. Error code Tapir mostly occurs when the game’s undergoing maintenance, so this is the foremost solution.
Tapir can also happen when servers are overcrowded, so you might need to wait around before getting in.
If waiting for server maintenance doesn’t work, here are a couple of solutions you can try.
Enable UPnP on your router
The Bungie Help page mentions “Universal Plug and Play” as a proven fix for certain players. This method lets your device connect to a network with zero configuration, giving you a direct connection to servers.
Enabling UPnP can resolve error code Tapir, but it also makes you vulnerable to malicious hackers, making this a risky (but possibly effective) fix, so use this at your own risk.
Use a VPN
Certain regions have very shaky/weak connections to Destiny 2 servers. Some countries can even have blacklisted IP addresses. Using a VPN connection can fix that.
There are plenty of capable VPN services that can connect to servers in different regions (ie. Proton VPN, Windescribe, Express VPN) across Steam and the official Destiny client.
Here are some community-suggested IP addresses you can try for less lag/low ping in Destiny 2:
Steam
- 23.52.29.0/24
- 81.198.165.0/24
- 155.133.224.0/24
- 155.133.226.0/24
- 162.254.196.0/24
- 162.254.197.0/24
Destiny
- 172.97.59.0/24
