Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out
The W:8:80090305 message and “servers offline” text usually mean the game client can’t establish a secure connection to the Marathon services, either because:
The servers are temporarily down/under maintenance, or
Something on your side (firewall, AV, network, time settings) is blocking or breaking that secure handshake.
A couple quick checks:
Check service status / maintenance
Make sure there isn’t any ongoing maintenance or outage announced on the official channels (Marathon/Destiny Twitter/X, Bungie Help site, etc.). If there is, you’ll just need to wait for services to come back up.
Basic local checks
Fully restart your PC/console and your modem/router (unplug router for ~30 seconds, then plug back in).
If you’re on Wi‑Fi, try a wired Ethernet connection for a test.
Temporarily disable any VPN, and make sure your system date/time are set correctly (auto sync on).
Firewall / security software
Re‑enable your firewall, but:
Add exceptions for the Marathon executable and your launcher (Steam/Epic).
If you use third‑party antivirus or security suites, try temporarily disabling them and launching again to see if they’re blocking the connection.
