Destiny 1 Error Code Marionberry: How to Fix it

Destiny is a popular first-personal shooting game, and while it runs perfectly for most, a few users reported the error code Marionberry in Destiny 1. It prevents them from signing in or accessing the characters, amongst other things.

The error code is encountered in Destiny 2 as well, and both the underlying causes and fixes remain pretty much the same. So, this guide will also work in that case.

What is error code Marionberry?

Marionberry is a network-related error that arises when your device is unable to reach the Destiny servers. It can be due to misconfigured network settings, issues with the DNS server or a temporary server outage.

Besides, problems with the router configuration can also trigger problems. For instance, a few found that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) conflicted with the connection.

How do I fix Destiny 1 error code Marionberry?

Before we start with the slightly complex solutions, try these quick ones:

• Check the Destiny Server and Update Status to identify any server downtime. If that’s the case, wait for a while, and things should automatically be up and running.
• When faced with the error, repeatedly press A on the controller and verify whether the console is able to establish a connection.
• Check for any pending game or console updates and install them.
• Disconnect other devices from the network, or you could try connecting to another network, preferably a mobile hotspot. For some, switching to a wired connection did the trick.
• Disable any parental controls configured on PlayStation, Xbox, or the router.

If none work, head to the fixes listed next.
