Topic: Game stopping issue with Destiny on PS4 and Bungie doesn't give a shit

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Hey guys. I just updated Destiny to the latest version on PS4 literally 8 hours ago, but after resuming my PS4 from rest mode, the PS4 wiped the update data and reverted the game to Version 1.0.

This is the third time since October that my PS4 has done this. Since it is wiping patch and update data, I have to download the full mammoth 20gb update file every time I try to play the game, and I won't bother enumerating all the ways that as a bottom tier GCI customer in Eagle River, Alaska (which means I have 100gb of data and no alternate service providers) who shares data with my family that this is a goddamn impossibility.

I can't live at the Library or Starbucks constantly updating this game, and Bungie seems downright unrepentant  and unapologetic about this issue every time I have brought it to their attention. Should I just give up and play something else forever?

Because I really don't want to go back to Skyrim as my staple game.

I've not played Destiny in quite a while so I'm not familiar with the info wiping issues. I am familiar with being booted off the server multiple times in under a few minutes. The game itself should be on the Disc and NOT on a server. And it should have NOT been an MMO to begin with, but a sandbox title like Skyrim that we were promised in the beginning.

I would try getting vocal about it in social outlets, see if it stirs up things. If they still don't budge I would move on to something else. Sucks that it ruins your fun time

I would post on PSN forums and return that effing PS4. Fuck that, seriously.

People have been posting about this issue with Destiny since July 2015, since the 1.17 patch.

Bungie has said "we'll fix it eventually" but seem to have made little effort.

As far as I know, this issue is unique to the PS4 -- no other system reportedly suffers it.

Can anyone confirm this save data issue happening with any other games?

I'm also thinking of a PS4 toward q4 this year, but I will be reluctant if this shit is common knowledge.

It only seems to affect Destiny, so don't worry.

I pretty much confirmed that the issue is caused by a discrepancy between the way Bungie numbers patches versus how Sony lists them. Bungie labels the patch 2.0.1, but the PSN identifies it as Patch 1.19, which I can only assume confuses the hell out of the PS4's firmware.

this has happened before on my friend's PS3, DC Universe was the game.
One file gets corrupted (somehow) and the game reverts all the way back to v.1 and updates from the ground up, which takes hours.

That happened once or twice with my PS3 copy of DCUO, but once I upgraded to the PS4 version, that stopped happening.
