Game won't load after selecting character. Black screen then booted out.

A month for me. Black screen with noise and then followed up with a watercress or newt error. Plz fix. I’ve been very patient. My Xbox gamer tag: Pr0phecy07
-
Four weeks for me so far.

Same just started this morning I was playing last night and everything was fine

6 RepliesThank the lord I'm not the only one having this problem and like someone said it's only a ps4 issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

It's the new custcene of the darkness. Not a bug or anything

Damn, sorry to hear that, guys. WATERCRESS is Bungie, they’ve confirmed that - nothing you can do but wait for them to fix it, it’s an error introduced with this season where the player sessions aren’t being closed properly (my theory is that it’s something to do with their anti-cheat engine for Trials, which is why they’re so reluctant to fix it, but that’s entirely speculation on my part). If it plays out the same as on Xbox, that’s it, you won’t be able to log in again. A handful can log in once in 10 or 20 attempts, but get NEWT then WATERCRESS again after a few minutes or one activity/planet. Welcome to the ever-growing WATERCRESS club. Sorry, Guardians. All you can do is make some noise on the forum here, Reddit and to @BungieHelp on Twitter. Definitely point out that it’s PlayStation you have the WATERCRESS issue on, as Bungie currently believe its an Xbox-only thing (but evidently, it’s not). :(

Sounds like you’re getting the dreaded WATERCRESS error. If you leave the black screen going for long enough (around 4-5 minutes on console), it’ll come up. It’s a Bungie problem, they say they’re ‘working on it’. 21 days for me now on Xbox, unable to play.

Same thing is happening to me. Won't boot up on Xbox. PS4 after I select my character goes to a black screen and after 5 minutes I get an error.

1 ReplyHi there. PSN is currently having some service issues. You can check their status here: https://status.playstation.com/en-us/ https://downdetector.com/status/playstation-network/

The thing that really gets me annoyed is the fact Sony lets this stuff happen every Holiday and plenty inbetween. You would think a company such as Sony would care and keep up with servers. They dont, its like they have no knowledge of networking at all. If Sony didnt have the money or resources to accomplish this I could understand. This stuff annoys me to no end and basically ruined the last half of my day. I work as a 1st responder and the one day I have time to really dig into Destiny, Sony drops the ball as always. Think Sony, Think. Every one gets done with the holiday about 6pm. Servers crashed shortly after. Mmm cmon man even I would have prepared for that...

I just got in! Seems like it’s a Sony issue rather than aBungieissue, but the problem is starting to sort itself out. Good luck
-
I just got in. Maybe try again.

Same here. Since about an hour ago, I am getting a black screen after selecting my character, and then I get an error message that boots me out. Another account on the same Playstation is booting the game just fine.

2 RepliesI guess I’m not the only one having this problem, I thought somebody hacked me for a moment because it said my profile may have been signed in elsewhere but everybody is experiencing this, the Destiny Servers must have crashed

Same here. Please some help.
