My husband experiences the Weasel several times a day when we play. We're on the same network, with UPnP configured according to the specifications in the linked guide, yet still he will get disconnected with a WEASEL or ANTEATER error code on an average of once every 2 hours. On the other hand, I have had perhaps two WEASEL errors in the last year.
Can you tell me what the technical cause of the error codes is? What in the game's code causes it to throw that error? I need this information to troubleshoot further.
Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear your husband is running into these weasel/anteater errors despite being on the same network as you. We actively track Anteater errors, so your husband's disconnect was automatically reported to our team the moment it happened. As for Weasel errors, while they usually signify a networking issue, Weasel errors can also show up if: [quote][b]A.[/b] You are Cross Saved and tried logging into two different platforms at the same time [b]B.[/b] You were in an activity and a ban was placed on your account [b]C.[/b] Your clan has special characters in its information or you have invites from clans that need to be removed[/quote] If you haven't already tried those, here are a few steps you can try to alleviate Weasel errors: [quote][b]1.[/b] Use a wired connection rather than Wi-Fi [b]2.[/b] Quit any program or turn off other devices that are streaming [b]3.[/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12539]Clear your console cache[/url] or [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6AD7-820D-8BE5-E51F]clear your download cache (PC)[/url] [b]4.[/b] [url=https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335]Verify the integrity of your game files (PC)[/url].
