Beta Ring - Slow launching apps and network issues

You are in a build that is in the Windows Insider Slow ring. This is a beta build not yet released to the public.

I had this issue as well and it seems to be a beta problem. What worked for me was starting the party app before launching the Destiny beta, get everybody in the unsnap the party app and then launching the beta. Hopefully this will work for you too.

Not just the alpha ring now.

Top 4 rings have the option now or you need the beta app on a windows 10 pc.

As has been stated you just have to remain active. I used to be in the Alpha ring at the launch of the One and when I sent it in for repairs I removed that console from the Insider Program assuming when I got the replacement system I could log in and have
that in the Alpha ring. Nope, had to start over. I’ve been in many betas for both apps and games and fill out every survey they have since and am still in Beta. Pretty sure they enlist in waves.

A lot of people are having this issue, it won't launch from the Xbox (Beta) app, but it launches perfectly fine from both the Xbox Console Companion app, and from the Start menu itself. It's an extra step needed to launch the game, but that should help
you get into the game until they resolve the issue with the app.
