I'm at 70%

eeeeeee

 

[Bunta]

I'm finally starting to download it.

 

[CyberPunked]

Is anyone else getting an error when they try to redeem their code on PS4?

 

[Hedrush]

Keep getting error code CE-34632-8 after doing a licence restore when trying to launch, anyone found a work around for this issue?

Same. I've restored licences I dunno how many times now and still get the same error.

 

[Karl Hawk]

getting into the beta is harder than playing the game. its like a raid on bungies servera

One hour and a half since the beta began. Some of the server pockets didn't make it /dramatic reading.

 

[Poker Face]

Finally downloading. 37 minutes to go -.-

 

[chimster]

I have the initial client. How do I get past the "cannot connect to PSN" screen. Any workarounds? GAHHH!

its downloading in the background, if you press the option button on the tile and select information you can see that it is downloading

 

[Symax]

Finally. Spend half an hour fighting fighting the PSN store maintenance error .Worth it.

 

[Storm Raider]

Is anyone else getting an error when they try to redeem their code on PS4?

lol /:

 

[off duty ninja]

No, they're right. You can download the beta in standby mode. I did it.

Oh thank God! That is good at least. I hate when you have to leave an app running just to download

*Calls wife and has her load up the app*

 

[SSReborn]

fucking finally got the client to download. took me a good 15 minutes.



mash x. keep mashing x even if it doesn't appear instantly. keep mashing x until it's downloading.

Ahh thanks got through.

 

[FleetFeet]

Launch day woes are bad enough when it's just one aspect you have to deal with not working properly... but this was quite foolish. There were 3 phases we have to get thru before we can have access, and everyone of them has been down or not working properly. First Bnet, then PS Store... now Destiny won't connect to PSN for it to complete the download! I'm just left asking myself... Why do it like this?!?!

 

[The Xtortionist]

After restoring licenses/setting primary PS4 in both my US account and EU account I've gotten a locked icon on the Destiny beta tile along with the error message "Could not connect to the server to verify the license". I've also redeemed one of my Beta codes through the Sony website in my US account. Still locked.

Has anyone gotten it to unfuck itself from this point?

Nope, I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to get into the PSN store on PS4 to manually download the NA beta, but it's not easy.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I don't believe this is true actually. I certainly could be mistaken but typically (even on ps4 ie.FFXIV for example) when you have to download through a client app like this you have to stay in the app for the download to work.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. I feel like some people are confusing the initial client download from the PS Store for what people are referring to the IN-CLIENT download/install.

I could be mistaken though, but I'm not going to risk corrupting the download by trying to exit the Beta client and test it out personally.

Edit: Ok, more people are verifying it. Don't personally need to atm, but might come in useful if I have to run out soon.

 

[matthieuC]

Bungie.net just straight up crashes safari every time on mobile.

 

[majik13]

I already redeemed my code on Bungie.net and choose my version (PS4), but I still haven't got an email with my download code.

What do I need to do guys?

go back to the redeemed codes page on bungie.net and the codes will be there, will probabaly take a few times before it actually loads

 

[Enco]

It took 5 seconds to download something and now won't load because the authentication server is down.

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

Yay im in. Hope everyone else gets in soon. Team hunter ftw.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Man, this FOV. Really.

It's still shitty?

 

[Wheelatron]

Just finished the first intro mission on PS3. It actually looks pretty good even on this old bird. I think I'm hooked already.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

It took 5 seconds to download something and now won't load because the authentication server is down.

Just keep mashing X

You'll get in eventually

 

[alr1ght]

What is the SEN URL for the download list (NA)? I'd rather F5 the shit out of that rather than the homepage.

 

[TalentBurke]

Haha I finally got to the goddamn Destiny Beta page and when I click download nothing happens. You can hear the sound effect of me clicking it but nothing happens.

Thank you so mothafucking much!

 

[The Librarian]

But I want to play today tho

Hopefully you will. I hope all of this is resolved within the next few hours.

 

[JB1981]

Man, why couldn't Bungie have just emailed codes to people after verifying email/PSN id?

 

[TimeEffect]

Ok here's how to get into the beta if you're having problems.

Step 1: Get your beta code from the bungie site. That's just perseverance. Keep spamming until you get through.

Step 2: Don't even try redeeming your code through your PS4 you'll end up flipping a table. Instead read https://support.us.playstation.com/...-to-redeem-a-code-or-playstation-network-card Click "PC or Mac: Redeem Vouchers through the SEN website". Follow the steps to redeem your code.

Step 3: After redeeming your code you will not be able to download the game from the same site. Now you'll have to deal with PSN (god speed). This step was provided by TimeEffect:



Don't use the circle button like I was! Follow this procedure.

Step 4: Go down to the Destiny pg on the PSN store and click it. Keep following the quoted method whenever you get an error screen. If the download button doesn't work just keep trying the quoted method.

Step 5: You're in! Or you should be unless something changes. You can't actually play unless Destiny can connect to PSN which I haven't solved yet but hopefully you'll be lucky and won't need additional assistance.

I actually redeemed the code on my PS4... I just used the double tap trick, and it really worked in about 4 tries.

On the contrary, I cant get the store to load on the PC.

Regardless, a lot of people are pressing circle to get out of the store when they get an error. If you have your foot in the door already (PS store loaded), don't let it go by closing it via circle. Just double tap out to get rid of the error message, and double tap back in to continue where you left off

 

[SnakeEyez]

Anybody get through the sen store online? I'm at work trying to get through on my phone... This isn't looking to good.

 

[Number45]

Anyone in the EU getting something other than "cannot start application"? Do we need to download again?

 

[Rubiks Cube]

I'm downloading pretty fast here on a 20mb/s connection. OOOwsh.

 

[Star Platinum]

I've preloaded the Beta a couple of hours ago via EU PSN preorder, cancelled the preorder afterwards and just redeemed my code from Bungie which then activated the beta, it finally works!

How did you get a code from bungie? Digital Pre-orders don't get a code.

 

[Foshy]

How come this is such a mess when everything went much smoother in the Alpha?

Anyway, managed to download the client, but can't connect to PSN in-game now lol

 

[Portugeezer]

Anyone else memorised their code?

I know I have... unwillingly might I add.

 

[Crumbtiny]

redeem here http://www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/home/

Man, after trying to access the site through the app this link worked like a charm. No fuss. No muss.

No hopefully if I can just coach the wife through operating the ps4 to check if it's downloading. And launch the download client. Yeah...I'm sure this will go perfectly well...

 

[MrS]

It's pretty good

 

[Burritoad]

Finally started downloading

 

[Aces&Eights]

Step 2: Don't even try redeeming your code through your PS4 you'll end up flipping a table. Instead read https://support.us.playstation.com/...-to-redeem-a-code-or-playstation-network-card Click "PC or Mac: Redeem Vouchers through the SEN website".

Yeah, no. When you go to open the store is just times out. Tried on pc and mobile.

Fuck.

wait, it's working for people? ? (Throws phone across room)

 

[Zombie James]

One and a half hours now trying to redeem a code.

 

[dmr87]

I've redeemed my code but I can't get in to download.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Still getting maintenance message on psn. Lovely lovely lovely.

Just keep persisting, it was doing that for me at first, but I got in

 

[blackdevil]

Finally downloading. 37 minutes to go -.-

how do you know its 37 mins? or do you mean the beta client? which is 179 mb?

if you finish that you have to start the beta app and download a 10.98 GB file^^

 

[Duxxy3]

Well the PS3 looks like... well it's not pretty.

At least it seems to run well.

 

[Auctopus]

Genuinely. Thank you, man. This has got me further in the last 30 seconds than I have done in the last 30 minutes. Godspeed.

Nope, cannot start application.....

 

[Hasney]

There wasn't a countdown to a zerg rush

 

[Xplatformer]

Is anyone else getting an error when they try to redeem their code on PS4?

Keep trying. eventually it'll take.


This truly is going to be a grand experience. I thought I was excited when LOTRO came out.

at 20%

 

[Brigandier]

Are the graphics still bad like the alpha? Fuck crossgen!

I can see a substantial improvement from the alpha build for sure. Smoother and cleaner imo.

I have another spare Beta Key first person to quote gets it via PM.

 

[Yaser Tech]

Anyone in the EU getting something other than "cannot start application"? Do we need to download again?

i had the same error. Restored the licenses and it worked! I'm now creating my hunter!

 

[Camp Lo]

Wow, I got my code redeemed through my PSP Go. There's no connection issues on that thing.

 

[Primethius]

Question: Do I need to download through the client or can I just have my PS4 in standby on the homescreen?

 

[RadicalVelocity]

Still can't get the initial client at all. No error message, just those 5 flashing bars, flashing, again and again.

FFS, there was clearly a better way to arrange this.
