Marathon Error Code Weasel

Weasel ("Could not connect to Marathon servers") — red screen, kicks you every 45–60 seconds. Primarily affected PC/Steam users. Bungie deployed a server-side patch in Feb 2026.

✓ Patch Available — Restart to Fix
← Check Live Server Status

Quick Fix

Restart your Marathon client to download Bungie's patch. If you already have it and Weasel persists, restart your router and PC.

Step-by-Step Fixes

  1. Restart Marathon to ensure you have the latest patch (deployed ~Feb 27, 2026)
  2. Restart your router and PC — temporary fix for many users until patch applied
  3. [PC] Flush DNS: run ipconfig /flushdns in admin Command Prompt
  4. Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
  5. Use wired Ethernet; disable VPN and firewall temporarily
  6. Primarily seen in EU players (ISP-related). If it persists, report at Marathon Help.

What Causes Weasel?

Weasel was a server-side connection bug that caused repeated disconnects every 45–60 seconds. Bungie identified and patched it. If you still see it, your client may not have the patch, or local network/ISP factors (especially in the EU) can trigger similar behavior. Restarting router and PC clears stale connections.
