While background maintenance was conducted without downtime today, the developers will need to take the servers down for an hour and fifteen minutes later.

Bungie’s official blog post outlines the downtime timetable:

Hotfix 6.2.5.3 schedule

Next Tuesday, November 8, Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.2.5.3 will be released. Refer to the timeline below (all times are Pacific):
  • 8 AM PST: Destiny 2 maintenance begins.
  • 8:45 AM: Destiny 2 is brought offline.
  • 9 AM: Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.2.5.3 will begin rolling out across all platforms and regions.
  • 10 AM: Destiny 2 maintenance completes.

While no patch notes have been provided, the developers have provided a workaround for the Manifested Pages bug in the game:

Workarounds for converting pages

Players still having issues converting their Spectral Pages into Manifested Pages should ensure that they:
  • Obtain the Gone but Not Forgotten quest from Eva Levante in the Tower
  • Are wearing the Masquerader’s Helm with a Festival Mask
  • Have at least three free spaces in their character’s inventory
  • Have Spectral Pages in their inventory prior to entering the Haunted Sectors playlist
If Spectral Pages aren’t converting into Manifested Pages after confirming the above, players may need to:
  • Clear their console or PC game cache
  • Complete a strike
  • Obtain more Spectral Pages
  • Complete a Haunted Lost Sector (Note that not all Spectral Pages will convert into Manifested Pages)

Aside from the hotfix, Destiny 2’s textures have also been updated on consoles. The goal of this update was to improve the utilization of memory bandwidth without sacrificing quality. Fans can get read the complete ‘TWAB’ post here.
