The MMO shooter Destiny is plagued by some errors that prevent players from accessing the servers. While Bungie is working on it, players have already found a fix.
Today, complaints are increasing that players on Playstation and Xbox cannot access Destiny’s servers. Error codes like “Marionberry” or the musical “Drum” and “Banjo” are frustrating.
On reddit, players have now found a fix for “Marionberry.” They change the DNS setting.
Changed the DNS setting to OPENDNS 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 left all other PS4 settings at default = signed in
It seems to work. For more tips: In this reddit thread, users discuss it.
The value can be changed via “Settings -> Network -> Advanced settings -> DNS settings“. This should work for both the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One (and also for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, as we now know). However, if you have no idea how to do this or feel uncomfortable, it’s probably best to stay away. We certainly take no responsibility for anything and wash our hands of it as always.
Already last week, user complaints were increasing about suffering from the Weasel error. Just before Christmas, there was already a phase where users of a very specific European internet service had connection difficulties.
Meanwhile, Bungie is also working to officially fix the problems. However, it’s currently still the middle of the night, so it may take a little longer.
It’s come to our attention that players are receiving banjo, marionberry and drum errors. Please stand by for updates as we investigate.
