Something needs to be done about the enormeous cooldown of DC penalties (read first)

Big Disclamer: NO I AM NOT INTENTIONALLY DISCONNECTING. I also think Dc penalties were one of the healthiest Features of the game and are great, BUT i have some weird Problems with my Gaming Laptop (Which couldnt get solved by the Provider and still remain a mystery) and Right now i would really like to afford something better, but i just cant because im moving soon, so ist impossible Right now. Just so everybody understands i DONT DC on Purpose, but i just cant get around it. The Problem just got a bit less, but still exist. ( i had times when i had 3 DAYS penalties for not Ragequitting once.)

But after i received the 15 Minute timer which isnt a big deal, i wanted to lower it down again, so i didnt touch DBD for ca. 36 Hours(!). First game after this time it crashed again and still was 15 minutes…..

Again i dont complain About anything, im not even saying this crashes are the games fault, because ist clearly the Laptop, but i dont get this immense time related Decay. i would really like if DC penalties stay the same, exept the timer goes down, because tbh nobody ragequits so often they get an immense timeout, ist just us few People with Hardware Problems.

Anybody else has an opinion on this Topic?

    Peoples have already talked about it, and some guys for BHVR answered that if you are having trouble with the game which makes you leave the trial, you shouldn't be playing.

    Because you know that something is going to happen

    You know you may have a chance that the game makes you force to disconnect


    The fact that you are having trouble with the game will affect the other players if you are forced to quit

    Nothing has to be done, you know you are having trouble because of your laptop then wait

    If the couldown is huge, it is for a good reason

    Don't play things your hardware can't handle. Problem solved. I don't go to VR-only games and demand they make it available for people who don't have a VR set (even though I believe it'd be a better business strategy, given how rare VR sets are, but I digress). I don't go to Windows 10 games and demand they make them for older versions of Windows.

    If your computer can't handle the game, that's a "you" problem and requires a "you" solution, not a reworking of the game.
