So I thought I was crazy until a few days ago, when one of my raiding team confirmed that he experiences exactly the same thing.
How widespread is this problem? What the -blam!- is even going on? The implications, from my layman's perspective, are equal parts perplexing and unsettling. Here's what's been going on for me since about the time 1.1.1 was released:
Pretty much once a day, every day, I get kicked off of the Destiny servers, and am given the so-called 'weasel error'. No big deal, everyone and their mother has gotten this at least once. But what happens immediately afterwards is much more unnerving:
1. The wireless internet connection to my XBOne is completely cut off. I'm disconnected from my home wifi network completely, despite the fact that my wifi signal continues to function perfectly on all other devices.
2. I attempt to reconnect to my wifi signal on my XBOne manually (my wifi network still appears in the list at this point, although the console no longer automatically connects to it, as it normally would). I am prompted to enter the password for my wifi network.
3. I enter the password for my wifi network. Password is rejected.
4. I re-enter the password for my wifi network, being extra careful to use the proper case and punctuation. Password is rejected.
5. Repeat step 4 again several times. Give up.
6. Perform a hard reset my XBOne (hold down power button for several seconds until the console powers off completely, then power up the system again after waiting several seconds).
7. XBOne loads up, automatically connects to my wifi network, everything is exactly the way it should be.
8. Skip to the next day. Repeat the previous 7 steps, ad infinitum.
Until I happened to mention this issue during a recent raid, I was pretty sure it was either something wrong with my XBox itself, or it was something having to do with XBox's most recent update, or a number of other things. Honestly, I was guessing.
But to hear that some other guy is having the exact same issue, makes me think that others are experiencing the same thing.
Seriously, what the actual -blam!-. Somebody smack me with some knowledge, please.
UPDATE: Wow there are a lot of you. Wasn't expecting it to be this widespread. Still seems like there's some debate over whether it's an XBox problem, or a Destiny problem (as in, did the Weasel error/Destiny cause the internet to stop working on the XB1, or did the internet stop working on the XB1, causing the Weasel error?)... to which I would say, why haven't I experienced this with any other XB1 online multiplayer games? Why do I get this exact string of issues (loss of XB1 internet connection, followed by it refusing to accept the CORRECT wifi password) consistently, and ONLY when I'm playing Destiny? I mean, it's possible it's the XB1, but it seems like an awful lot of coincidence.
Anyway, it sucks regardless. One thing that seems to work for people is foregoing wifi entirely, and 'hard-wiring' the XB1 with an Ethernet cable. If you've found another solution, please let us know!

3 AntwortenYeah it's happened to me a couple of times now, but I thought it was just shitty college Internet that was causing the disconnect issue.

5 AntwortenCanary lags you out of PSN, to the point where you normally gotta test connection to reset it or you can't get back on... I haven't gotten it much lately, but I used to to the point where the wife would see me get frustrated and the only thing she'd say is "got canary'd?"
-
Same happens to me even now. I get weasel/beaver daily. Ruins the experience but as always a hard reset fixes it

I had the same issue today. Before I had weasel errors but could sign into destiny again without problems.

1 AntwortenHoly -blam!- just realised the same thing happens to me. I thought I got the weasel error because I lost connection but now that I think about it I get disconnected straight after the error code.
