Dcing during the loading screen, do you get a penalty for it?
I haven't done it and I've been playing with a bunch of survivors who have. do they get a time penalty for it like they would if they did it during the match?

You don't get penalised until the match starts - so when you load into the map.

Why would you? The game doesn't even start if you DC during the loading screen.

How do you know they’re disconnecting?
Unless you’re using a mori or map offering, something which would cause them to disconnect then it’s very likely the infinite load screen.

If you close the game before offering screen disappears you don't lose any items, addons and offerings and it doesn't count as dc

What if you load into the match, the camera does it's panning, then you're immediately brought to the post game screen due to a dc? Does that count as match start?

Yes @Sairek this is different from the previous test.

@Rivyn I believe that would count as the march starting yes - I don't have confirmation of that though to be 100% certain.

@MandyTalk That's what I'm worried about. Usually when there's a dc, I'm notified after that camera panning when we're all booted to the post game screen.

If you made it to that point, it was somebody else who disconnected. Not you.

@Dehitay I mean, this is DbD. I've had instances where the match will be going fine, and i'll be booted to post game screen showing I and somebody else dc'ed for. . . reasons, I guess. Especially now with dedicated servers. I just don't want to get shafted with a penalty when I'm not the one at fault.

because when the game starts it says a player has disconnected .

But thats the point. The game can’t tell why someone quit, it just knows that a player is missing.
Unless you used a mori, black ward or sometimes a map offering like the game or hawkins for example survivors would have no reason to disconnect. It’s likely one of them got the infinite load screen.

My issue is that i dont want to, as a killer with decent hardware, wait longer than the match will last due to slower hardware on the survs' part. When the loading part of the game is longer than the actual game this sucks. I have in the past waited 6 min for a game to start.

6 minutes sounds way too long for hardware-issues during loading, unless someone is playing on a Toaster. And I can confirm that in this case the game wont even install.
So it sounds more like that someone had the infinite Loading Screen but refused to DC in Loading Screen.

No, cos when the game started all were present. Meaning it was a toaster as a computer

Did you also see 4 Survivors? Or was it a 3v1 with 4 Survivors displayed? Had one of those games yesterday, 4 Survivors in the UI, but only 3 were actually in the Match, with 5 Gens to go.

Yes, all 4 were present.
