PS3 Issue: Destiny UI dissappears after using too many motes of light?

At the time of this writing I don't have a screenshot, and I know last gen hardware support is basically at the lowest priority, and I feel as though this is likely a known issue, but a bit of googling didn't reveal any previous complaints, unless my keywords were off. That said, I've noticed that if in a single play session, that if I happen to pop something in the range of 30-100 motes of light in a single play session, parts of the start menu UI disappear (specifically the pop out menus in the settings section of the start menu and in a few other places. Additionally when up in the solar system set destination screen is blacked out save for the map edges. If the issue is ignored, I've found that eventually the whole first person UI disappears as though the hud opacity option in the accessibility menu was set to off. With some modest testing I've found that the various sub-menus are still there of course, but you're navigating them blind. I found this out because I do a weird thing where whenever I have a bunch of blue and purple gear that I plan to break down and I try to ensure they're fully leveled before I dismantle them. The disappearing UI issue is pretty replicatable, and I imagine it's probably some exp counter breaking the UI. That said, the issue does have an inconvenient, albeit effective solution: Simply rebooting the game by hitting the quit game option and starting it up again seems to clear things up. I'll post a photo if people need to see proof, but I've laid out a reasonably through description by my estimates

  • I had this problem on Xbox 360 too. The map would turn black and I couldn't select a location. I just reset my console and it goes back to normal. Now that I'm on Xbox One, I don't have this problem anymore.

    • You need to lay off the motes. I know it's the holiday season, but if the police pull over your sparrow after that many, they'll have more than you're licence! Sorry, couldn't resist.... Seriously now, that's a very weird glitch. But the easiest way to stop this happening is obviously to stop burning motes. It's an interim fix, but it'll do

      If I understand you correctly, this also happened to me on the 360 without using Motes of Light, just extended game play seemed to make it worse. My work around was to exit game and then start it up again. The Solar System Map was blacked out, some menu items stopped working. If I recall the change character/logout did not work either. I think or believe it is a memory fragmentation issue similar to what occurs on Windows OS.
