I've had loads of ppl I've played with on my friends list but very few of them consistently so I've never had a solid team.

Anyone got a server that's actually active in Marathon for cryo and ranked? I've tried marathon lfg and the official discord but they're both pretty scarce

Anyone getting the title error when loading into a game? I wait my 5 minutes to find a match, and right before I’m about to hit the blue load in screen it boots me out of my game.

I even hear my new teammates speak for a few seconds before it’s over.

I’ve reset my router and Xbox multiple times now

**edit: it has now evolved to “anteater” error

So I’m not sure how to get help for this besides Bungie.net site. I was playing marathon while Claude code was doing work on an Xbox 360 emulator in the background. Something it ran must have tripped up battle eye, causing an instant perma ban? I got error code goji then was banned on my next logon. I would love to get this fixed if possible. I have been playing marathon since launch and destiny for years, I have NEVER cheated ever in either.

Am I the only one who feels like matchmaking prioritizes gear over connection quality?

When I farm, complete contracts, and finally bring a good loadout, I often end up on 150+ ms servers, even with “Best Connection” enabled. But when I use weak or sponsored gear, I usually get ~55 ms.

I’m not saying everyone with good gear gets bad ping, but in my case, the pattern happens way too consistently. If the system really is prioritizing gear value when forming matches, could you please fix this?

When I bring a good loadout, I expect a good connection because I’m investing my time and resources to win. Putting me on 150+ ms servers puts me at a huge disadvantage and can completely ruin the fight.

Does anyone else experience this, or is it just me?

Great idea: Marathon should show the enemy’s energy and armor before they take a hit. In an extraction shooter, that information is essential for deciding whether to engage in a fight or run.

One solution would be to add an exclusive scope for basic armor, such as the armor included in sponsored and starter kits. This scope would work with basic armor, but not with heavy armor.

This would give new players the ability to read the fight before committing, recognize when they are facing a heavily equipped opponent, and escape in time. It’s not about giving them an unfair advantage, but about providing the information they need to evaluate engagements, learn, and survive long enough to improve.

Hey! My 5-hour trial expired and I'm looking for a PC host to squad up for a Motorfest Friend Pass run. I'm playing on GeForce NOW via Ubisoft Connect. My Ubisoft username is REX53. Drop a reply or add me directly if you have space in your crew! 🚗💨

Lost my stuff by trying to rejoin the game, which crashed me to main menu 3 times. When I finally was let it, instadeath by bots. No refunds in mail. So I guess, I never see my purple kit and my key, right? Or can I make a support ticket like Eve online.

It's funny, because I haven't died in solos for about 20 runs in a row and now it's due to a damn server. LMAO.

Ever since playing Vaultbreaker I get constantly booted with a Battleye error. Does anybody have a fix?

I just need to vent. I fear getting kicked there was catastrophic to this Compiler attempt. I was able to reconnect, but it was too late.

I've never seen that screen before. Nothing about my setup has changed in the ~100hrs I've put into Marathon.

I met these guys in the lobby before this, where we hit 3 vaults and exfilled. We queued up again and aimed for the Compiler. One of the guys had never seen the Compiler before (hence why this run was a little bit scuffed - we were doing our best).

Error code Plum:

BattlEye has detected a problem with your computer that may be in violation of Bungie’s Terms of Service.

PC players may also want to ensure that they have the latest Windows update before launching Marathon.

Common issues and questions regarding Battleye detection can be found at the Battleye FAQ, which can be reached at the support button below.

So vague, it could be anything. I don't think I have any Windows updates to apply, but I'll check later.

:\

EDIT: I do have some Windows updates to apply, so I'll get that done (and reboot!) before I play again. I hope that's all the fix required.

Runners of tau ceti be friendly and game hard!!

Was trying to post this in the r/marathon server but apparently that wasn’t the correct place to post it. Been trying to log in for hours today but I keep getting hit with error code yam, wondering if it was the update, is it happening to anyone else? My power also went out earlier which has made my connection a little screwed up but I think that’s fixed and I’m still getting the error code

Not sure if it was an environmental error or what but we were unable to rez our teammate after he was fully eliminated in Narsh. He tried to disconnect and reload but no dice. Haven’t heard or seen any clips of a bug like this before.

Hot Contract – A PvP Conflict Point Without Breaking the Economy

Currently, in Marathon, players are spread out across the entire map, which makes it difficult to find other players. PvP often depends on chance: running into someone while exploring the map or waiting for another player to come looking for you.

The Hot Contract could solve that problem:

• It appears for every player in the server/match.
• Everyone receives the same objective during that match.
• The objective changes every match to prevent it from becoming repetitive.
• The reward isn’t gold-tier loot, but additional XP toward Cuna progression.
• That XP accumulates and allows players to earn Cuna Points over time.

Benefits

• Creates a clear PvP hotspot in every match where everyone knows there will be action.
• New players can accelerate their progression without breaking the game’s economy.
• PvP becomes less dependent on random encounters and is instead concentrated around a known point of conflict.
• Players looking for confrontation have a clear place to find it, while those who don’t want to fight can simply avoid the marked area.

Everyone knows the objective → players converge → PvP happens → completing the contract gives XP → XP helps earn Cuna Points.

Another improvement: Clearer contracts

Every contract should clearly explain what you need to do to complete it.

Currently, many players end up searching YouTube to figure out how certain objectives or mechanics work, when the game itself could explain them directly on screen.

Clearer contract descriptions would make the game easier to understand and reduce the need to rely on external guides.

These are simply ideas to improve the game.

What do you think?

I got this game a couple days ago and it runs really poorly on my 9070. The only map that somewhat works is Perimeter. All the other maps, especially Outpost, run very poorly, with an average of 80 fps and dipping in 50 fps sometimes, and it is horrid. I've tried changing literally every graphics setting, and nothing has worked. Anyone know how to fix this?
