Re-installing Destiny
Sometimes Destiny can get in a state where re-installing is the best way to have a clean slate and remove any issues.
How to install Destiny to your PS3:
Common issues that require re-installing:
• Stuck on a frozen or indefinite loading screen• Encountering a consistent crash in game• Accessing items or content that cannot be resolved by restoring licenses• Swapping from a physical to digital, or vice versa• Getting stuck in Trial mode if you have not deleted the Trial mode before purchasing the full game
When proceeding through re-install steps:
