PAPRIKA is a general server-side connection failure in Marathon. It typically appears when Bungie's game servers are under heavy load — most common during Server Slam events.

Quick Fix
Restart the Marathon application and retry. Check live server status to confirm Bungie's servers are operational.
Step-by-Step Fixes
- Fully close Marathon (quit from task manager or dashboard, not just minimize)
- Wait 30–60 seconds, then relaunch the game
- Check MarathonStatus.com live status — if servers show degraded or outage, wait and retry later
- [PC] Disable VPN if active; switch to wired Ethernet if on Wi‑Fi
- [PS5/Xbox] Force close the app from dashboard, wait 1 minute, then relaunch
What Causes PAPRIKA?
PAPRIKA occurs when Marathon's client cannot complete a handshake with Bungie's game servers. During Server Slam and launch windows, authentication queues fill up and time out. Your client retries automatically, but a full restart generates a fresh token and often resolves the issue.
