Connection problems that happen in the middle of the round and only is fixed when we die.

So in the video, you can see it starts with me "losing connection," but I'm still able to clearly communicate with my friend on a voice call. This has happened to me twice. Both of my teammates stayed in the game and played through the entire run, or died, and that's the only time I can get back in.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Error codes: WEASEL and CENTIPEDE typically signify that you’re encountering a broad networking problem.

    We recommend you refer to our Network Troubleshooting Guide to explore potential solutions to your problem. If that doesn't help, the next step would be checking our Optimizing Connections page.

    Additionally, you can try the following as well:

    • If you are using WiFi, we recommend switching to a wired connection
    • If you NAT is Strict or Type 3, we recommend getting your NAT into an Open or Type 1 state.

    Unfortunately, I was connected via an Ethernet cable, and I have already allowed access through my firewall twice. Thank you for the recommendation, but the bug is specific, and I just wanted to report it. I have no idea how to replicate it. Sorry, and thank you again, keep making the game Awesome!

    I have news, without any change, it has gotten worse. Tonight, I happened upon it randomly about 50-70 times, most in the main menu. I have done the following.

    Power cycled my router 3 times

    Power cycling my PC

    Used the 2.4 and 5ghtz network on seperate attempts

    Using Ethernet instead of wifi

    Used Wifi instead of Ethernet

    Verified the integrity of my game files on steam

    Enabled exceptions for marathon through firewall/antivirus

     

    please help.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for listing everything you’ve already tried.

    When adding Marathon to the allow list for your antivirus and firewall, did you also add BattlEye along with it?

    If you can, please send us the following:

    • Your ISP
    • Your Region
    • The approximate time the issue last happened
    • Are you using any VPNs?
    • What antivirus are you using?

    Yes, sorry, that wasn't on the list. Both the game and Battle Eye are on the allowed list. Also, this problem is only present in Marathon, not in other games or apps I use while playing.

    no VPN's are in use, but I have heard that it is a remedy for the problem short-term.
