If you\u2019re running into any of these issues (or another one we didn\u2019t mention), please feel free to mosey on over to our Help Forum and let us know! Details on your system specs or links to short video clips are super helpful:<a href=\"http:\/\/bung.ie\/marathonsupport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> http:\/\/bung.ie\/marathonsupport<\/a><br \/>\nPvP frequency: As we continue to keep an ear to the ground on this one, we\u2019re further investigating total player density on non-beginner maps to cover all of our bases.

Make sure to take a chance and let us know your thoughts!<br \/>\nMed and ammo economy: These two items have been a regular feedback item, and we\u2019re thankful to see your reports. Discussions about stack sizes, the efficacy of green-tier med items, and more opportunities for ammo to drop have been primary topics \u2013 but, our ears remain open. Keep sharing your experiences and please let us know what you brought into any runs where you feel like you\u2019re running dry.<br \/>\nWeasel error codes: Over the last day we\u2019ve seen a number of Weasel error codes, which are caused by a disruption of your network connection to Marathon servers. We have several investigations under way and will report back with updates. In some cases, this may be caused by issues with your home Internet connection, or with your Internet provider. If you have made changes that have resolved this issue for you, please let us know.<\/p>\n<p>Marathon&#8217;s Server Slam kicked off just before the weekend, and attracted a healthy number of players on Steam.
