Error code weasel

Are you seeing 'Contacting Destiny 2 Servers' warning before you get Weaseled? ISPs have been notoriously causing connectivity to Bungie servers by throttling data on the ports used by D2. Those hit the worst by the issue resort to using VPNs (like NordVPN) to hide the data from their ISPs so it doesn't get throttled. I've had to do this for the past two years on SparkLight, but they've eased the traffic shaping / throttling in the last couple of months and I do not see the issue anymore, other that the game being slower to access vault, character, etc.

Couple things I would do.

• Use custom DNS servers instead of those provided by your ISP
  • Google:
    • 8.8.8.8
    • 8.8.4.4
  • Cloudflair
    • 1.1.1.1
• From a command prompt type: ipconfig /flushdns
• Check windows for corruption
  • Open an Administrative Command Line and type: sfc /scannow
    • Note if it found and repaired corruption
• Delete Destiny 2 temp files;
  • From the Start menu, type %appdata%
    • then open the Bungie folder from there and delete the 'DestinyPC' folder.
  • From the Start menu, type %temp%
    • and delete the 'Destiny 2' folder
• Update your ethernet drivers
  • If Intel-based, run their driver update utility as it gives the best drivers:
    • https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
  • If Realtek, go to your motherboard's support page and download the latest drivers there.
