I seriously cannot get a match!

Is it the game?

There are so many DC's while the game is loading. Are other playstation players experiencing this also?

On a side not what is with dropping with a 1st down too lately? Hard to complete a match when teammates bail after going down 1st time

    Players tend to DC when they get found first, downed first, hooked first, etc.

    If a player is a known DCer, than they'll work around the old system to avoid playing in matches that're "unfun."

    Don't worry though, when Chapter 14 drops, a new DC penalty system will be impemented. With that new system, DCers will be given a matchmaking temp ban/cooldown for a few minutes.

    Each new DC will add onto the cooldown. If you DC in bulk, than you'll be given a real few weeks game ban. Do it more, and you'll be punished more severely

    They can check if a DC was a crash or not, so don't worry about that. Also, some games will have Survivors intentionally DC mid-loading screen, but it seems to be mostly crashes that cause this.

    Maybe PS4 is having more issues with this at the moment. It does happen on PC too though.
