    If you don't have a stable internet connection then you shouldn't be playing imo. It's ruining the game for other people. Take a break until you sort your internet issues out.

    There is no way to distinguish an accidental disconnection from an intentional one on the server side, so unfortunately they have to punish everyone equally to prevent the system from being circumvented and, therefore, useless. You will get banned from joining the queue for increasing amounts of time if you keep leaving games, even if it's because of bad internet - this is the case in many, if not most, online multiplayer games, not just DBD. I know that it sucks, but if they want people to be penalised for disconnecting at all, this is the only way to reliably do that.

    They should really remove this from console as there report system is not a real report system anyway.


    Im not the only one but after putting £100 plus into dlc and getting banned for PSN/PS4 being unreliable i feel this is unfair.

    It's a bug and probably not your internet

    Are you playing on Wi-Fi? You should use a hardwired connection, that may help.

    Just because you paid for something doesn't mean you shouldn't get banned for disconnecting.
