Did BHVR get rid of the DC penalty when they enabled crossplay?
I play on pc and don't ever dc. I know they enacted a dc penalty for pc players a bit ago and it put an end to a period of completely out of hand dc's. Did they get rid of this penalty? Does it not exist on consoles? Do people on consoles not care since their issue is apparently the extremely poor quality of the game (which why are you playing if it's so unplayable)? Do they not care because they think it's unfair they have to face pc players (I've also heard this argument)?
I'm just trying to understand the explosion in dc's. I play on pc and it's almost always someone on crossplay. I'm not trying to single out console players and I'm sure the ones that do this are a small percentage and are just being poor sports. It's just frustrating that in AT LEAST 50% of the matches I play there are one or two dc's. This is across the board, playing killer and survivor. This problem had almost disappeared but now it's back to ruining matches and affecting the overall health of the game.

DC Penatly is off right now due to exploits.

No. It was there. Then hackers got into it and gave Streamers like Tru3 massive bans.
They pulled it to plug the hole, and put it back out.
Then hackers got into it again and gave Streamers like Tru3 massive bans.
They pulled it to plug the hole, and put it back out.
Then Hackers got into it again, and this time hit Puppers and someone else.
They pulled it to plug the hole, and haven't put it back out yet.
But you see the recurring theme here. When they do put it back out, give the hackers a week, maybe two weeks, and it'll be pulled again.

Yep,because hackers are still able to take advantage of the dc penalty by banning certain people for x amount of hours

Well that's just great! Hopefully the dc penalty doesn't go the way of matchmaking and become a feature that's supposedly in place but doesn't actually do anything. The penalty was by far the single thing that improved the health of this game the most in the 15 months I've been playing.

Well, the issue is that the hackers have already been into it multiple times. So, unless they scrap the current thing entirely and code a new system from the ground-up, we're going to be going round-and-round this bush for some time to come.
Or, since they talked about a Bot taking over for a DC'er like DbD Mobile does, hope that feature is far enough along to be "soon."

Hopefully they decide to start from the ground up because it's worth it. Disconnects completely ruin a match and they are going to have long term problems if this continues. Doesn't matter how pretty they make this game if it becomes unplayable because of the community.

I have no idea what they're planning on with that. But they're a relatively small team for a game of this size, and are already working on fixing MMR and getting the Early Game Slowdown from the anniversary announcement done, not to mention the future DLCs they're already coding. Plus they were supposedly working on the Bots as well.
So, no clue whether or not they have the manpower to redo a DC penalty system, too. Time will tell.
Plus, I believe they're still working from home.

Which is why I worry that their attitude will be to just abandon the dc penalty all together. As I said it's the thing that's improved the health of the game the most. Sad if it goes by the wayside.

I've already considered that a possibility. But they haven't said anything on the topic and I have no inside information, so can only say that I share the concern.
