Hello there, Thanks for the report and for including your specs. This does not sound like normal behavior. The in-game verifying installation loop followed by a reinstall recommendation usually points more toward a content or install-state problem than a performance issue, especially if a full reinstall did not clear it. There has been previous Destiny launch/install trouble where reinstalling alone was not enough and players only got past it after moving the game to a different drive and reinstalling there instead. So if you have already reinstalled on the same drive and the problem still remains, a useful next step would be testing the install on a different drive if one is available. If that is not possible, it would also help to include whether this started immediately after the forced shutdown and whether Windows/Event Viewer shows any disk or application errors around the same time. Thanks again for calling it out.
