Destiny 1 - New Player Can't Connect for the First Time ("chicken" error code)

Hello. On XBox One, my son is trying to login to Destiny 1 for the first time, but he can't connect to the character servers. Whenever he tries, it repeatedly says "ATTENTION Contacting Destiny Servers..." on a banner at the bottom of the screen and eventually times-out with a "chicken" error code. This happens both when only his account is logged in and also when my account is logged in in the background. If I try it with only my account logged in, everything works normally and I can connect, choose a character, and make it all the way into a game. Interestingly enough, when I try it with my account logged in with my son's in the background, I get a similar "ATTENTION Contacting Destiny Servers..." banner that continues while on the character select screen. When I choose a character, it continues until it times-out with a "weasel" error code. We have been trying for over a week, and I would really like to play Destiny 1 with my son. We were hoping that this would be addressed in the most recent rounds of server maintenance, but it still won't work. Please help! Additional Setup Information: - XBox One (set to my home XBox) - My account is the main account on a family plan w/ XBox Live Gold - My son's account is also on the family plan and can play online on other games - I started with parental controls on my son's account, but his account is now basically configured just like mine for troubleshooting purposes - Destiny 1 base game on disc - All the expansions and add-ons purchased digitally - Game was uninstalled for a couple years, and reinstalled recently Things I have tried for troubleshooting (same results in all cases): - Cleared console cache (multiple times throughout these steps) - Uninstalled game and reinstalled while only my profile logged in - Uninstalled game and reinstalled while only son's profile logged in - Tried with only base game installed - Tried with all expansions and add-ons installed - Removed all parental control blocks on games and privacy - created a Bungie.net account for my son Thank you.

  • Hello sir, have the same issue here. First time ever trying to play the game, but I get the same error code and thus it is impossible to play. Reading at people having the same issue on the net, it seems that this issue occurs to new players who do not have an account in the game yet.
