[Dinda]

Hmm so this isn't for all PS+ Members only Pre Orders? Was under the impression it was. Oh well....

 

[Smo21]

And now we wait for installs...

 

[Sande]

this is the beta.
.

And? Right now they're making it a hell for anyone trying to get anything from the store. That's unacceptable and avoidable.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

I am getting an endless loop after pressing confirmed.

PS4 BTW.

 

[Duxxy3]

It's co-op focused. If you thought you'd be all by yourself while playing solo, you're wrong.

That is what I expected. That's fine, I thought I would try the game out.

Not something for me.

 

[R3TRO]

Game is so good.

 

[nhaydon]

im not worried, I am sure launch day will be fine

 

[burritosenior]

I know nothing about this game. I've been on black out since it was announced. Is there a single player campaign or is it all co-op?

The entire story can be completed in Single Player if you want, but there are many reasons to do so in co-op instead. Bungie's goal is to make solo players want to play it in co-op, and that is what the game is built around.

 

[Homeboyd]

If you mean you entered your code on your Bungie.net account page, then no. You need to select a platform and get your platform code first via their 'Redeemed Codes' page.

If you mean you entered it on Playstation's website, then... you should be able to, sure.

Sup burrito!? PMs!

 

[Pain]

So how do I get my beta code?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

If you have 9 digit code (XXX-XXX-XXX):

STEP 1. REDEEM CODE HERE: www.bungie.net/beta

STEP 2: Enter the 9 digit code. IF you have a 12 digit code then it belongs on PSN and not here.

STEP 3: Go to your Bungie Profile here: www.bungie.net/en/profile

STEP 4: Click on "Codes" (Third tab on top).

STEP 5: Choose your console and your region. BE VERY SELECTIVE AS YOU CANNOT REDO IT.

STEP 6: You'll receive 3 codes for PSN or XBL. Use one and give two away!

-----------------------------------------

If you have a 12 digit code (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX):

STEP 1: Click here and log in: https://account.sonyentertainmentne...account/giftcard/redeem-gift-card-flow.action

STEP 2: Enter Code. You'll promptly see this:

STEP 3: Go to PSN Store via PS4. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 4: Go to "Downloads List". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 5: Select "Destiny Beta". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 6: Click on "Download". If you see a blank page like this (http://i.imgur.com/bOuUZmm.jpg) then don't panic. Keep on trying until it lets you. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 7: Repeat STEP 3 to STEP 6 until it lets you download it.

STEP 8: Once the game downloads. Run it and it'll download the 10GB update.

-------------------------------------

If you preordered from PSN Store:

STEP 1: Go to PSN Store via PS4. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 2: Go to "Games >> New". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 3: Select "Destiny Beta". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 4: Click on "Download". If you see a blank page like this (http://i.imgur.com/bOuUZmm.jpg) then don't panic. Keep on trying until it lets you. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 7: Repeat STEP 1 to STEP 4 until it lets you download it.

STEP 8: Once the game downloads. Run it and it'll download the 10GB update.

-------------------------------------

Troubleshoot:

Q. I see "Server Maintenance". What Should I do?
A. Keep on trying until it lets you. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

Q. I see a "Cross" on the download screen like this: https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net...33_1459271957674830_8554032848906394303_o.jpg. What Should I do?
A. TTP stated: "Go to Noifications > Downloads. There should be a Destiny Beta notification with an error symbol. Delete that. Go to Library. You should now be able to download the beta".

Q. I've tried everything and nothing is working. Help!
A. Restart the console and log back in. Try for 10 minutes. If it doesn't work, Restart and repeat. It'll eventually work after the 10th or the 100th or the 200th try. Server sucks so bare with it. Be upset if you like but be patient.

 

[Marvel]

Installing!

/squee

 

[TTP]

wtf do i do if i get this ?

i've tried about a million times, always this page ??? wtf

Go to Noifications > Downloads.

There should be a Destiny Beta notification with an error symbol. Delete that.

Go to Library. You should now be able to download the beta.

That's how it worked for me.

 

[Adamm]

So I'm reading you can put the PS4 in standby and the game will continue downloading from the client. Sweet. But can I, say, switch over and play Wolfenstein while the game downloads? Or does closing the client cut off the download? I'm only wondering because I thought putting the console in standby closed applications anyway.

Wondering the same thing

 

[fluffydelusions]

Can I get some gaffers to play with? Downloading now. PSN: plbelanger

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Hmm so this isn't for all PS+ Members only Pre Orders? Was under the impression it was. Oh well....

Just preorder from amazon and then cancel. Or go to the code begging thread...

 

[Duxxy3]

Wow the PS3 version is soooooooo blurry compared to the PS4 Alpha. This is cannot be 720p even.

It looks like the PS3 version of Black Ops 1. So it's well below 720p.

 

[Kojirospath]

For fucks sake, I'm not even getting an error when trying to log into psn. Just a blank fucking blue screen. Fuck this shit!!!

Edit: Shit un-fucked, finally got something after two hours of restarting. Codes wil be posted in begging thread

 

[MrDenny]

Do I need ps plus to join my friends team?
I used my ps plus code on my bros account, I thought we could share the benefits.

 

[LegendX48]

To share, apparently.

That's pretty sweet, now if only the PSN store would stop derping out lol

 

[Zakkath]

I finally was able to redeem the code through the PSN website. If my PS4 is in standby mode at home, will it start the download automatically ? If not, Is there any way to start it remotely ?

 

[RulkezX]

Am I remembering wrong , could you not have the Ghost speak through the DS4 speaker in Alpha. ?

 

[MrJustinius]

Managed to get in. Downloading now.

Only after one refresh of the SEN website and two attempts on loading up the PSN store on my PS4. Waiting a few hours always works!

Now for the uber long download on Australian internet. Joy!

 

[Bending Kermit]

It's strange that Sony/Bungie didn't allow us to pre-load this. They knew that the PSN servers would get hammered by this.

Perhaps they wanted their infrastructure stress tested.

 

[Fehyd]

So uh anyone else notice in the cutscenes...

Spoiler

we have voice acting?

 

[Trouble]

hardwire your connection or get some powerline adapters. Sony skimped on the wifi card in the PS4 (only runs the 2.4ghz band)

My PS4 is hardwired directly into my gigabit router which is connected to my 50mbps cable modem.

Still slow as hell right now.

 

[DC1]

Been trying for over an hour on my download list and keep getting this page.

Best advice I've heard is "keep trying it works after a few retries". After about a hundred attempts, maybe more, I'm still getting this screen.

I had the same problem.
You have to reboot your PS4. Your screen is displaying cached content.

Thank me later

 

[mcmudman]

I'm not sure, but make sure you shut it off and not put it in standby before you unplug your console!

Yeah, I'll definitely do that! I guess I'll find out the hard way if the download continues when I take my system to my friends place.

 

[Raptor]

If you mean you entered your code on your Bungie.net account page, then no. You need to select a platform and get your platform code first via their 'Redeemed Codes' page.

If you mean you entered it on Playstation's website, then... you should be able to, sure.

Yes I reedemed my PS4 code on the SEN Account page, but Im trying to go to the page where you canput it on queue so it can start downloading if its on standby, but I can't, if I turn on instead the PS4 it should be start to download right? it should.

 

[Zeyphersan]

can I have one please?

PM'd you, you got the last one

 

[TheKaeptain]

The entire story can be completed in Single Player if you want, but there are many reasons to do so in co-op instead. Bungie's goal is to make solo players want to play it in co-op, and that is what the game is built around.

That's good to hear. I'll probably end up in co-op with MMA-Gaf.

 

[Zombie James]

It took two and a half hours, but I've finally logged in.

 

[Camper182]

Go to Noifications > Downloads.

There should be a Destiny Beta notification with an error symbol. Delete that.

Go to Library. You should now be able to download the beta.

That's how it worked for me.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU !!!!!!


(https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net...33_1459271957674830_8554032848906394303_o.jpg) this is the problem i was having for those who are wondering

 

[The Elite]

Ok, finally got in through the website. It says Destiny is in the download queue now. Doesn't mention Beta, just shows it like a full game. Is this right?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

90% done, almost there.

Perhaps a silly question but I didn't play the alpha and I'm still a little overwhelmed how the game is supposed to work. Does the game ease you to it or does it throw everything at you from the start? Any tips what order these things should be done?

 

[FleetFeet]

So I'm reading you can put the PS4 in standby and the game will continue downloading from the client. Sweet. But can I, say, switch over and play Wolfenstein while the game downloads? Or does closing the client cut off the download? I'm only wondering because I thought putting the console in standby closed applications anyway.

I imagine that will close the client, since you can't run two games at once.

 

[Gray Matter]

I am getting an endless loop after pressing confirmed.

PS4 BTW.

Same here. Fuck this shit, I'm tired of the same sever issues whenever something big is released.

 

[darkjedi187]

Can 't even seem to get into the Bungie site, it fails when trying to authenticate with SEN.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

finally got the web store to let me remotely start the download christ almighty.

 

[RoKKeR]

I've been out of it all day, but I should probably wait until the end of the day?

Haven't received a code yet, are they on b.net?

 

[jediyoshi]

Yes I reedemed my PS4 code on the SEN Account page, but Im trying to go to the page where you canput it on queue so it can start downloading if its on standby, but I can't, if I turn on instead the PS4 it should be start to download right? it should.

Even then, the actual beta download occurs once you've opened the beta, what you download from PSN is basically a small launcher.

 

[webkid94]

Hey guys is the PS3 version really 5.5GB or is it actually more? Downloading it right now, hopefully it isn't more cause I DL'd battlefield 3 and that was 15GB and that took almost two days...

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

One NA (US/Canada) beta code up for grabs. First one to PM gets it.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Or does closing the client cut off the download? I'm only wondering because I thought putting the console in standby closed applications anyway.

Closing the client won't stop the download. Furthermore, I was able to play watch dogs and the download kept going. You can verify anytime time you want by pressing options-->Information on the Client.

 

[Tiops]

HA! I tricked the store just before I almost gave up completely for the night. Downloading now.

Thanks, I'm crying at work. People are already looking at me.

 

[jaosobno]

Are people in EU, who pre-ordered from the PSN store, still getting the error code when they try start the Beta? It's been giving me the error for 2½ hours, and I've tried restoring the licenses, logging out, restarting the system, and it's set to primary. =/

Yeah, I'm still getting the fucking CE-34632-8.

 

[SniperHunter]

are the servers undergoing maintenance ? I cant redeem the codes on PSN

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Go to Noifications > Downloads.

There should be a Destiny Beta notification with an error symbol. Delete that.

Go to Library. You should now be able to download the beta.

That's how it worked for me.

Nice. So dumb that that was the problem.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Shhhh. Just go with it.

 

[Duxxy3]

5.5GB with a 25MB patch.
