Destiny has, for the most part, had a relatively smooth launch, which is extremely rare for games that require a constant online connection. Those alpha and beta tests earlier this year definitely went to good use, but there are a few little hiccups swimming around here and there. Bungie is working hard to fix them most, including an oddly named error affecting PS3 players.
Many Destiny players have been struggling with the Centipede connection error, but a few PS3 players have been hit with a whole new error entirely. The Boar bug is preventing players from connecting to the online servers, but thankfully Bungie has a fix already. Players need to simply create a new PSN account.
No need to grab the pitchforks and torches though, because this doesn’t mean you’ll need to delete your regular PS3 PSN account. It seems to be some sort of authentication issue, which can be solved by doing the following (via VG24/7):
- Install Destiny.
- Before launching the game, create a new PSN account. Ensure that the region of your new PSN account matches the game’s region.
- Launch Destiny to download the update.
- After the update is downloaded, sign out of your current account and back into your original PSN account.
- Launch Destiny.
If you still run into an issue, then you’re probably going to have to re-install Destiny. If you still have problems after that (which would be rare) then Bungie doesn’t really have a solution just yet, but it could also be an issue with your console.

Good luck to all still struggling. Such a ball ache. This is just another sign that we are not yet 100% for online gaming, no matter your ISP or line speed.

How many warnings do you need. You were warned with Diablo 3. You were warned with Simcity. If the game says constant online connection. You don’t preorder that shit, you don’t buy that shit on release day. You forget about it. If you can’t forget about it, then you wait a few months to try it out.
I will never buy a game again that has constant online connection.

A comment posted on NYT, yesterday, concerning an article about adults refusing to grow up, has been stolen:
In Reading, PA, Tea Party “Pastor” Steve spends his days stalking my comments on the net, stealing those he does not like, and otherwise hacking my pcs and launching denial of service attacks with his web designer buddy from Lancaster Co. PA.
Hacker “Pastor” Steve has no job, his church was closed and sold, he was kicked out of the storefront school he opened, but turns out it was just a hacking center, with no students. All he does is hack while his wife works to support his hackling activities.
It is sad, really, “Pastor” Steve spends his days totally consumed with the few comments I make in the NYT and on Disqus, and lets his childlike Tea Party hatreds turn him into the criminal adult equivalent of a juvenile delinquent.
Someone/party is feeding him his stalking orders…

So, I have a CA bought PS3 and a TX bought copy of Destiny, (moved a few weeks ago blah blah blah)
So kinda wondering why I’m getting the boar issue in the first place. I went through and followed the instructions step by step, nothing. All my other online feature games work fine (Diablo3, Defiance, demon and dark souls) so why isn’t Destiny working? Anything I can do other than wait forever for another fix or email/phone calls??

GUYS THERE IS A WAAY!
I first could not install the game on my PS3 because of the bug/ Error Code: BOAR and i followed all the instructions that the sites were telling me to do about creating a new PSN account and then to go try again but it wasn’t working. So i thought, what about if i update my PS3 to the latest update and then try again with the new account. next thing you know, BAM! it is installing.
omg im a girl
