Persistent WEASEL error code on Epic Games (Account / Session Issue)
Hello Bungie Support Team,
I am constantly receiving the WEASEL error code on PC (Epic Games Store) shortly after selecting my character or arriving in the orbit.
Account Details:
Bungie ID: Sped4rl#8328
Platform: PC (Windows 10) / Epic Games Launcher
Connection: LAN
Troubleshooting already completed:
Network & Routing: Changed DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and flushed DNS (ipconfig /flushdns).
VPN Test: The WEASEL error still occurs in orbit even when connected via VPN (ProtonVPN). This rules out local ISP routing issues.
Files & Anti-Cheat: Verified game files via Epic Games, fully reinstalled BattlEye, and repaired Visual C++ Redistributables.
System Integrity: Verified Windows integrity using sfc /scannow and dism.
Account Checks: Verified account status on Bungie.net (only Epic is linked, no pending clan invites).
Since the error persists regardless of network settings and even through a VPN, this appears to be a stuck server-side session ("ghost session") or an authentication token issue on the server side.
Could you please reset my active server session or account status?
Thank you for your help!

1 ReplyUpdate: I also tried creating a brand new character, but I got the WEASEL error code even while inside the character creation screen. This confirms it is not related to gear, inventory, or loadouts on my main character, but a full account/authentication issue on the server side.

Edited by Akilleos: 10/18/2026 9:54:42 PMHi. Thank you for your detailed report. I have been flagging that same issue for months. I was until two weeks partially able to play with one character out of 3, by multiple attempts to connect. Able to play for a long session, but if wanted to change character i would get the weasel error again Now I have that weasel error on three characters. Changing to loadouts with no exotic/shader/locked gear/recent gear has no more effect I have a feeling that that issue is worsening or spreading Same as you, I think the issue is not ISP related. I am playing on PS5, encountering that issue on two different ISPs, as week as two different streaming services (GeForce Now and PlayStation premium). And one those 4 settings I have no issue playing with and old account much less advanced in the story/gear/light level/etc… @Bungie please look at the identification sessions/cache/servers…. Thanks in advance
