Bungie has offered a remedy for the troublesome ‘Boar’ error code that is currently affecting the PlayStation 3 version of its popular science-fiction alien shooter, Destiny.
Sadly, it’s not exactly an easy fix, as the former Halo developer suggests that those of you who have encountered the bug should create a new PlayStation Network account.
Here’s Bungie’s full details on the fix below.
“Playstation 3 users: if you are seeing the Boar error code, there may be a region mismatch between your account and the Destiny game. Please see the steps below for more information.
1. Install Destiny.
2. Before launching the game, create a new PSN account. Ensure that the region of your new PSN account matches the game’s region.
3. Launch Destiny to download the update.
4. After the update is downloaded, sign out of your current account and back into your original PSN account.
5. Launch Destiny.
If you continue to see this error message please delete, then reinstall Destiny on your console.
If reinstallation does not improve your experience, it may be due to damaged or malfunctioning hardware. Check to see if other games work properly, or contact Sony Customer Support for further information."
Destiny launched worldwide on September 9, with publisher Activision announcing yesterday that it has sold-in more than $500 million of the shooter to retailers and first parties around the globe.
