WEASEL, CENTIPEDE, W:8:00002EE2
Hello,
I have performed all troubleshooting steps, including:
1. Power-cycling router/internet hardware infrastructure, rebooting the device.
2. Ensuring UPnP is enabled.
3. Ensuring NAT is set to Open.
4. Verifying the integrity of game files and ensuring Steam is in Online Mode.
All other services for other games, companies, and applications work fine.
I have made no changes to my internet settings before this problem began.
I have not installed any updates since before this problem began.
I have been able to play without errors for more than 300 hours of gameplay.
I have contacted my ISP, and they are registering no issues with the service they provide.
This leads me to believe the problem is not on my network's end, as I have eliminated all possible avenues that this could be a user setting issue, especially considering I have made no changes and was able to run the game fine for the last 300+ hrs of use. Please provide guidance, a solution, or at least an indication that other users in my geographic cluster (East Coast United States, specifically Northeastern/New England region) are experiencing the same concerns. Based on my search through the forums, I can't find any other reports of other users experiencing this en masse.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
If you are getting Error code: WEASEL and CENTIPEDE along with W:8:00002EE2, it means that your connection to Marathon is being interrupted or blocked, usually by local network issues or security software.
Temporarily disable or fully uninstall any third-party antivirus, firewall, or VPN (especially products like Kaspersky) or explicitly whitelist both Marathon and BattlEye, then retry.
To whitelist Marathon and BattlEye, open Kaspersky, go to Settings (Big Cog) > Security Settings (or Additional) > Threats and exclusions > Manage Exclusions and then add both Marathon and BattlEye and save.
You can also test from a different network (e.g., mobile hotspot, different ISP or location) if possible. If you can play normally there, it strongly indicates a routing issue between your ISP and Marathon servers.
Hi,
I'm watching this thread closely because I have plenty of free time.
I do not have any third-party antivirus, firewall, or VPN software, so that can't be the cause. Because I do not have any of this software, I cannot disable it, nor whitelist it.
As I said, I've eliminated any possibility that this is a network issue on my end. I've spent hours working on this, confirming all information in your troubleshooting guide. When I say everything else works perfectly and I've made no changes between launch and now, after 300+ hours of use, I well and truly mean it.
I don't think this is an issue with my network or my PC. Do you have additional guidance?
