Unable to join target player - Local area network consistent problems

My husband and I play Destiny very regularly together, and, obviously, we are in the same house using the same internet connection. We CONSTANTLY receive the "unable to join target player" error message, and from looking around here we are not the only ones. It has nothing to do with our internet connection as my husband works in IT and can verify that everything is working as it should, not to mention we play several other multiplayer games together that have ZERO issues (Overwatch, PvZ, Battlefront, Titanfall, Halo - literally NONE of these have problems with us playing in the same lobby/fireteam). Destiny is the only game to give us this error, and it happens literally EVERY time we boot up the game. The only way we get around it is waiting it out, and trying over and over again until we want to rip our hair out. This is ridiculous and I want Bungie to fix this. This error never popped up for us until Rise of Iron. I understand nothing anyone in the forums can say will help as it is clearly Bungie's error, I'm just hoping that if enough people make it known that this is still an issue that they will get more eyes on it and correct it.

  • So this is a work around that seems to work 100% of the time. Trust me when I say I have tried EVERYTHING else! 1. Both players load the game and go to the tower. 2. Both player at the same time press the XBOX button and quit the game. 3. Both players at the same time start destiny again and this should generate a 'WEASEL' error. This should usually happen to both players. 4. Close the error and continue to selecting your characters. 5. You should now be able to join the same fireteam team. I know it's a ball ache it this does genuinely work. You can even leave the fireteam after and you will have no issues rejoining. This is a fix for as long as you are online but the next time you play you will have to do this again. Just goes to show that this is truly a bungie issue as to get this to work no changes to any network settings need to happen. Hope this helps.
