[Mr. Enigma]

Still haven't even gotten my email yet. 2:20pm here. Have to be at work 4pm-12am.

 

[RS4-]

I wish I could skip this cut scene.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Out of all the tutorials regarding preloading through the EU trick, someone should have mentioned that you shouldn't cancel the preorder until actually starting the game or something like that, because any attempt at restoring the licenses just locks the game up until you preorder again, and unfortunately that's impossible to do because the PlayStation store won't start up. Even PSN suggested that those who wanted the limited edition use this trick, as it wouldn't be available until after the beta.

Guess I'm going to have to try and fix this later this afternoon.

 

[Nibel]

Loading inside the client takes forever.. after like 30-40 minutes I've reached 11%

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Soo im at the In app 11gig download...If I put the PS4 in standby will it continue???

Yes!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

You gotta do it manually on the ps4 or web store. Neither seem to be working now :/

Bummer, I was hoping it would download automatically since it's in standby mode.

 

[Vire]

Honestly, guys, this could have gone MUCH, MUCH, MUUUUUCCCCHHHHHHHHHH worse.
Seriously.

How could it have gone worse? I still haven't been able to start the download 1 and half hours later.

 

[Kertiously]

Is the beta starting to download faster for no reason all of a sudden? It took me 20 minutes to get to 15%, now in 15 minutes I'm all the way at 40%.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Based Vita

YES

 

[Mashin Haters]

alright i restarted my Ps4 twice and my router once. Now the destiny download is going faster. Getting around 0.01 every 2 seconds.

 

[kevin1025]

Just keep hitting on your Library, after a while it'll load up and it'll be at the top of your list.

 

[Halo 2]

Ok there is no way I'm making it much longer without a vita.

 

[Calcium]

After doing battle with PSN for 15 minutes I have downloaded the beta. The struggle made this victory much more satisfying. Thanks, Sony.

 

[def sim]

How could it have gone worse?

We could have died.

 

[Lakitu]

What a fucking tease. PSN store loaded for me, scrolled down as quickly as possible to redeem codes and then the maintenance page comes up. I managed to access it for all of 3 seconds.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

I haven't received the e-mail with my code yet and I'm getting anxious (more like desperate).

Anyone else?

It'll be on your Bungie profile page, even if you haven't gotten an email. But even if you get your codes, you probably won't be able to access PSN to redeem it yet.

 

[Jtrizzy]

I was able to download at 12:54pm EST, got the two files and started the game by 12:58 EST. The in-game download of 10.97GB took about 45 minutes to complete. Haven't been able to get into an actual game at all. All I get is the little Destiny icon on the bottom right that says "Connecting..." but if fails to connect every time. Stopped trying around 2pm EST.

Did you have to go into the store or did it just go into your game library?

 

[off duty ninja]

Soo im at the In app 11gig download...If I put the PS4 in standby will it continue???

No, it will only download while you are in the app.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm finally home and I can't even launch the Beta. I get an error message Also, it seems like the PSN is down for maintenance.

 

[Loomba]

How could it have gone worse?

A lot of people are playing already, me included.

 

[DoubleTake]

Yes!

THANK YOU!

No, it will only download while you are in the app.

Wait what?? NOOOO

 

[Twilight Gap]

20 minutes to get in the store.

1 minute to download the beta

wat

 

[FleetFeet]

I had the same issue for the last hour... just keep at it and it will eventually load and let you access it!

 

[Ferr986]

btw, Im the only one who's antivirus goes crazy over some gif in this topic?

 

[TimeEffect]

Restore your license, that did it for me, now launch the game and find out you can't play cause PSN is awesome shit

Do you still have to download the 10 gig installation if you do the EU preloading way?

Under WHICH account did you restore license? EU or US?

 

[Aces&Eights]

I successfully did that (used msoft login cause psn is down) but then I found out that what I downloaded was just the launcher which is 179 MB. Once we are home we still have to launch the game to download the remaining 10+ gigs.

Heartbroken...

[Dreams crushed] ugh. Well, that's that I guess. At least when I get home a lot of the traffic will be cleared. Right? RIGHT??

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

55% done. Another 75-80 minutes if server doesn't fuck up.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Based Vita

AHAHAHA. Nice.

 

[Xplatformer]

UH....13.2gb downloaded in 3 minutes?



I've never seen a download that fast.

I'm goin in!!!

Lol...in game...downloading 10.97 gb....5%

 

[Marvel]

Lots of OLED Vita love up in here, I approve.

 

[sono]

I have redeemed my codes on PSN using my laptop browser, however I cannot connect to PSN to download the beta

I hate being right all the time having predicted this SONY

 

[Lucent]

To anyone who's having a hard time redeeming your code try http://www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/home/

This let me redeem it, but I see no way of initiating the download.

 

[Scrupulous]

Urgh of course Destiny nukes everything i cant even log into ffxiv *golf clap* Sony/Bungie GG

 

[SocksAndShoes]

STILL can't get into the PSN Store site....this is fucking ridiculous.

 

[jorma]

What is restore licences? Is that working for some people?

Nothing compares to the MGO beta on PS3. That was the worst I've ever seen.

system/psn/restore licenses

Seems like it worked for some people.

 

[Star Platinum]

I have a US PS4 but I used an EU account to download the pre-load.

I tried restoring licenses to get this to work, and that didn't do anything.

This is my friends PS4 so I can't just make this extra account the primary PS4 account.

Anything I can do?

 

[mcfrank]

20 minutes to get in the store.

1 minute to download the beta

wat

That is just the Beta Installer. You still have many gigs to go.

 

[Xamtheking]

You can say this about anything that ever happens.

I think taking down an online service that powers two very popular consoles and failing to deliver on a pre-order bonus is pretty bad.

Let me give you a concrete example of how it could have been much worse.
Having to download the ENTIRE thing through PSN, as opposed to dl'ing the mini-file from PSN and then downloading the rest from within the mini-file client

 

[LookAtMeGo]

15%.... im liking the artwork.

 

[TimeEffect]

What a fucking tease. PSN store loaded for me, scrolled down as quickly as possible to redeem codes and then the maintenance page comes up. I managed to access it for all of 3 seconds.

Double tap the PS BUTTON out to the XMB, DO NOT PRESS CIRCLE.

Then, KEEP DOUBLE TAPPING BACK TO THE STORE. It will eventually work.

 

[Spiders]

I'm finally downloading, but its taking forever...

 

[Upinsmoke]

Done! See you on the moon!

 

[Halo 2]

STILL can't get into the PSN Store site....this is fucking ridiculous.

It's working on mobile for me.
Worth a shot.

 

[Codiox]

Ok guys, everything works without a beta key. Just needed the PSN pre-order and restore licence. Playing now good luck for your download guys, hope it goes fast. See you on Mars!

 

[GreyOcelot]

Honestly, guys, this could have gone MUCH, MUCH, MUUUUUCCCCHHHHHHHHHH worse.
Seriously.

you're joking right?

 

[ComputerBlue]

Still haven't even gotten my email yet. 2:20pm here. Have to be at work 4pm-12am.

Go to Bungie.net - Beta section and get it from there. Good luck getting it to download through PSN though, it's a mess right now.

 

[Badgerst3]

After much refreshing- it's downloading.

Much thx to BadHand in code beta begging thread.

However: the beta and update file installed in less than a minute and now getting "cannot connect to sever to verify license".

 

[Wizman23]

Getting Crackdown/Halo 3 Beta vibes from this thread. Hope this mess is cleared up by next Wednesday when its Xbox's turn

 

[off duty ninja]

[Dreams crushed] ugh. Well, that's that I guess. At least when I get home a lot of the traffic will be cleared. Right? RIGHT??

It better be or, or...well I will probably just curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep.

 

[Evo X]

Downloaded the Shell + Update, but whenever I launch the beta it can't connect to PSN.

Just gonna wait for it to unfuck itself and try again tonight I suppose.
