WEASEL every ~60 seconds on new Steam PC account — Wireshark shows server-side FIN

Destiny 2 consistently gives me the WEASEL error about 50–60 seconds after I select my character, usually during the opening cutscene. I’m playing on Steam and created a new Bungie account/profile. I’ve reproduced the exact same issue on both my wired Ethernet connection and a completely separate mobile hotspot. I’ve reinstalled and verified the game, reset the CVARS files, updated my network drivers, removed Hamachi/Wintun/WireGuard and Norton 360, checked Windows Defender Firewall, and tried DNS/network troubleshooting. I also captured the connection in Wireshark and observed the Destiny service connection successfully complete the TCP handshake on port 7500, followed around the time of the WEASEL disconnect by the remote endpoint sending a FIN/ACK to my PC. Could you please check the server-side/account/session logs and determine why my connection is being terminated approximately one minute after character selection? I can provide the Wireshark screenshots/capture if needed.

Hello there, Thank you very much for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear that you are receiving this error code shortly after selecting your character. This particular error code is most commonly associated with connectivity issues. Despite this, we've received some reports of this happening on some characters that could be resolved by deleting the loadout(s) of your characters. If that doesn't help, to rule out any local connectivity issues you may be facing, we'd suggest going through our [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049496531-Network-Troubleshooting-Guide]Basic[/url] and [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049496751-Advanced-Troubleshooting-UPnP-Port-Forwarding-and-NAT-Types]Advanced Network Troubleshooting Guide[/url] if they were not covered in your previous troubleshooting. We'd also recommend reviewing the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360048717852-Error-Code-WEASEL]Help Article[/url] for this error code if you haven't already.
