Fix: Destiny Error Code Tapir

The Tapir error code is just one of the many error codes Destiny players have to deal with on a regular basis while trying to enjoy a game or two. These error codes are quite difficult to handle since there are sometimes a couple of them appearing simultaneously and Bungie is yet to release a full guide on how to fix most of these errors.

Players had to rely on online forums and debates in order to try and find the fix for the Tapir error code but now you can simply follow the instructions featured in this article and get the game running again.

Solution 1: Restart Your Console

This solution has helped quite a few people deal with their Vulture error code and this solution is quite a general method for fixing almost all Xbox-related issues. Naturally, this method can only be applied to users playing Destiny on Xbox.

However, make sure all of your games are synced online and backed up since this process may end up deleting them from your local Xbox One memory. There are two ways to delete the cache on Xbox One and reset your console completely:

1. Press and hold the power button at the front of the Xbox console until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the power brick from the back of the Xbox. Press and hold the power button on the Xbox several times to make sure there is no remaining power and this will actually clean the cache.

3. Plugin the power brick and wait for the light located on the power brick to change its color from white to orange.
4. Turn the Xbox back on as you would do normally and check to see if the Tapir error code still appears when you start Destiny or Destiny 2.

Alternative for Xbox One:

1. Navigate to your Xbox One settings and click on Network >> Advanced Settings.
2. Scroll down to Alternate Mac Address option and choose the Clear option which appears.

3. You will be prompted with a choice to really do this as your console will be restarted. Respond affirmatively and your cache should now be cleared. Open Destiny or Destiny 2 after the console has restarted and check to see if the Tapir error code still appears.

If you are using a PlayStation 4 to play Destiny, make sure you follow the instructions below to hard reset your PlayStation 4 since PS4 does not possess an option to clear the cache:

1. Completely turn off the PlayStation 4.
2. Once the console is completely shut down, unplug the power cord from the back of the console.

3. Let the console stay unplugged for at least a couple of minutes.
4. Plug the power cord back into the PS4 and turn it on the way you normally do.

Solution 2: Keep Trying to Connect

Sometimes the servers are to blame, especially if they become too crowded, resulting in various weird error codes. Even Bungie has suggested to users that they should try reconnecting for a couple of minutes before trying to fix the error code in other ways. This error code was worked on by Bungie and they should have solved the problem by now.

Additionally, there are plenty of users who confirmed that being patient paid off and they were soon able to continue playing the game normally.

Sometimes it’s simply the servers that are going under maintenance and sometimes there is a problem with the account users are using to play the game. You can always check the status of various servers for any of the platforms available by clicking on the links below:
