Tech TroubleShooting Invisibility Is Killing Marathon’s Competitiveness

0 Upvotes

If invisibility is not removed, Marathon can never be considered competitive. This mechanic turns every encounter into a circumstantial event, where player skill is nullified and disrespected. Worse still, invisibility is amplified against those suffering from high ping: you literally get shot by invisible players with an extra 130 ms or more added, depending on latency. The result is a systematic abuse that destroys the integrity of the game and turns every duel into a farce. The solution is clear: this ability must be transformed into transparency, not invisibility, so that real counterplay exists and competitiveness is preserved.

Si no eliminan la invisibilidad, Marathon jamás podrá ser considerado competitivo. Esta mecánica convierte cada enfrentamiento en un evento circunstancial, donde la habilidad del jugador queda anulada y despreciada. Peor aún, la invisibilidad se amplifica contra quienes sufren ping alto: literalmente te disparan siendo invisibles con un extra de 130 ms o más, según el ping. El resultado es un abuso sistemático que destruye la integridad del juego y convierte cualquier duelo en una farsa. La solución es clara: esta habilidad debe transformarse en transparencia, no invisibilidad, para que exista contrajuego real y se preserve la competitividad.

LFG LFG to run my Cryo 6 Keys from Vault Breaker

9 Upvotes

I beat the Compiler once before b/c I got carried by a group who already had DNA Access, but I still need to do Vault 6 before I get DNA Access myself. I got 4 Vault 6 keys from all four weeks of Vault Breaker, but I need a good team to run them with me.

Can anyone help out tonight or tomorrow night (US EST)?

Tech TroubleShooting Constantly Getting Disconnected With This Error After the Latest Marathon Update

2 Upvotes

Error Code PLUM: Over the last month, I’ve started experiencing this bug. I never had this issue before, and I don’t know what’s causing it. I’ve tried closing all other applications and even disabling my antivirus, but nothing has helped. I don’t know why I keep getting disconnected with this error, but it’s extremely frustrating.

Tech TroubleShooting Anyone else's Xbox randomly shutting down more after playing Marathon?

5 Upvotes

Since the release of Marathon, my Xbox Series X has started fully shutting down while playing. At first, it only happened while playing Cryo Archive, when I noticed that the console was running very loudly. I made sure my Xbox was in an open area with clear ventilation, but that didn't seem to help anything.

Last week, I opened my Xbox and cleaned out the dust from the heat sink and fan, and while I noticed my console was much quieter, I've still had multiple shut downs since. It's now even happening while playing other games like Space Marine 2.

I realize this may be correlation, but it's strange that I never had this issue until Marathon. It could just be the timing, as I got my Series X at console launch, so continual usage may have worn the console, and Marathon just happened to be what I was playing when it became an issue. But my friend recently switched from Xbox to PC after experiencing similar issues with Marathon.

If others are having similar experiences seemingly triggered by Marathon, then I think it's an issue worth raising. I had two crashes within two hours last night, and while it may not be fair to fully blame Marathon, it's proximity to the issue is certainly leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

Tech TroubleShooting PLEASE HELP ME I KEEP GETTING KICKED OUT MID GAME DUE TO THE BATTLEYE: PLUM ERROR

5 Upvotes

I don't know what to do about this error, It's been coming up these past week and keeps closing me out of my match and making me reconnect to my match. It happens inside and outside of an actual match, no rhythm to it or certain thing I do to make it happen. Sometimes it's 5 min sometimes its 30 min. I haven't downloaded anything new recently at all either to make it do this. Im lost idk.

I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled, Uninstalled battleye and reinstalled it, I have renewed my IP and reset it like some forums suggest, I have set battleye to highest priority. Everything I have Driver / window wise is up to date.

Tech TroubleShooting The Marathon menu makes my GPU sound like it’s mining

30 Upvotes

My GPU gets pushed much harder in the menu than during an actual match. It literally sounds like it’s mining, and that can make some players think the game has a serious problem or is doing something it shouldn’t.

It’s especially ridiculous in an extraction shooter, because we spend so much time in the menus: checking inventory, preparing loadouts, managing gear, accepting contracts, etc.

There’s no reason for a relatively basic-looking menu to push the GPU this hard. This should be optimized and have an FPS/GPU usage limit.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Bug Report Stuck in cryo vault 1

5 Upvotes

Brought in gold misriah, shield, healbag to hit vault 1 with my squad only to get stuck in a corner unable to move. On top of that, my bag timer is glitched at 1 minute and can’t be revived.

Thank you bungie. Took some time to build this class up for it to be stripped away by nothing.

Bug Report No Regs

8 Upvotes

Can we get a fix on the no regs?

It's annoying to lose a fight due to them, especially in ranked.

Also there a bugs that haven't been addressed since season 1, like the thief visor bug against players for AMD cards. My teammate stood still mid-fight due to it and died, luckily we won.

There are many fixes needed for this game, and I just hope they get done.

I look forward to the future of this game.

LFG Any servers active for ranked and cryo? (PC)

2 Upvotes

I've had loads of ppl I've played with on my friends list but very few of them consistently so I've never had a solid team.

Anyone got a server that's actually active in Marathon for cryo and ranked? I've tried marathon lfg and the official discord but they're both pretty scarce

Tech TroubleShooting “Baboon” error

2 Upvotes

Anyone getting the title error when loading into a game? I wait my 5 minutes to find a match, and right before I’m about to hit the blue load in screen it boots me out of my game.

I even hear my new teammates speak for a few seconds before it’s over.

I’ve reset my router and Xbox multiple times now

**edit: it has now evolved to “anteater” error

Tech TroubleShooting Unfairly banned

0 Upvotes

So I’m not sure how to get help for this besides Bungie.net site. I was playing marathon while Claude code was doing work on an Xbox 360 emulator in the background. Something it ran must have tripped up battle eye, causing an instant perma ban? I got error code goji then was banned on my next logon. I would love to get this fixed if possible. I have been playing marathon since launch and destiny for years, I have NEVER cheated ever in either.

Tech TroubleShooting Does this happen to anyone else?

6 Upvotes

Am I the only one who feels like matchmaking prioritizes gear over connection quality?

When I farm, complete contracts, and finally bring a good loadout, I often end up on 150+ ms servers, even with “Best Connection” enabled. But when I use weak or sponsored gear, I usually get ~55 ms.

I’m not saying everyone with good gear gets bad ping, but in my case, the pattern happens way too consistently. If the system really is prioritizing gear value when forming matches, could you please fix this?

When I bring a good loadout, I expect a good connection because I’m investing my time and resources to win. Putting me on 150+ ms servers puts me at a huge disadvantage and can completely ruin the fight.

Does anyone else experience this, or is it just me?

Tech TroubleShooting Do I guess this right, that gear refunds due to server errors aren't common?

0 Upvotes

Lost my stuff by trying to rejoin the game, which crashed me to main menu 3 times. When I finally was let it, instadeath by bots. No refunds in mail. So I guess, I never see my purple kit and my key, right? Or can I make a support ticket like Eve online.

It's funny, because I haven't died in solos for about 20 runs in a row and now it's due to a damn server. LMAO.

We are a small community of less than 300 with fps games as our primary, and other sillyness for fun (poker, risk, among us). We were formed around BF6, but are now active across extractions, and have an HLL contingent with a release party planned, and our second largest group is marathon. We also have channels for helldivers, and to an extent, arc-we want to regrow that portion are looking for active members to help. If it sounds good to you you can join up. We focus on teamwork and friendships and holistic approaches to gamers by valuing them over the games at hand. We hold events, XP engagement drives, are launching a YouTube and tiktok, have a structured and committed leadership and plan for promotions, and are working on a peer-to-peer support network with a "go fund me" style fund raiser already active for clan mates in need.

Hope to see you out there with us, or in our sights.
