What to Expect During the Downtime<\/h2>\n

If you are attempting to play during the deployment window, you will likely encounter specific error codes. This is normal and indicates that your client version does not match the server version.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Error Code CAT:<\/strong> This means you need to exit the game and download the latest patch from your platform’s storefront.<\/li>\n
  • Error Code WEASEL or PLUM:<\/strong> Frequently seen right as the servers are being taken down at 7:15 AM PDT. It indicates a sudden loss of connection to the Bungie servers.<\/li>\n
  • Sign-in Queues:<\/strong> At 10:00 AM PDT, when servers return, you may be placed in a queue. Do not refresh or restart your game<\/em>, as this will place you at the back of the line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
