Hello. On XBox One, my son is trying to login to Destiny 1 for the first time, but he can't connect to the character servers. Whenever he tries, it repeatedly says "ATTENTION Contacting Destiny Servers..." on a banner at the bottom of the screen and eventually times-out with a "chicken" error code. This happens both when only his account is logged in and also when my account is logged in in the background.
If I try it with only my account logged in, everything works normally and I can connect, choose a character, and make it all the way into a game.
Interestingly enough, when I try it with my account logged in with my son's in the background, I get a similar "ATTENTION Contacting Destiny Servers..." banner that continues while on the character select screen. When I choose a character, it continues until it times-out with a "weasel" error code.
We have been trying for over a week, and I would really like to play Destiny 1 with my son. We were hoping that this would be addressed in the most recent rounds of server maintenance, but it still won't work. Please help!
Additional Setup Information:
- XBox One (set to my home XBox)
- My account is the main account on a family plan w/ XBox Live Gold
- My son's account is also on the family plan and can play online on other games
- I started with parental controls on my son's account, but his account is now basically configured just like mine for troubleshooting purposes
- Destiny 1 base game on disc
- All the expansions and add-ons purchased digitally
- Game was uninstalled for a couple years, and reinstalled recently
Things I have tried for troubleshooting (same results in all cases):
- Cleared console cache (multiple times throughout these steps)
- Uninstalled game and reinstalled while only my profile logged in
- Uninstalled game and reinstalled while only son's profile logged in
- Tried with only base game installed
- Tried with all expansions and add-ons installed
- Removed all parental control blocks on games and privacy
- created a Bungie.net account for my son
Thank you.
