Survivors keep crashing/dcing

It doesn't do any sound so I'm not sure if it means they crashed, but this happens almost every game that someones game crashes or they disconnect.

    I'd like to think their game crashed, but I'm going to guess that they just rage quit. I've been playing with and against a lot of babies lately.

    Is this as soon as the match starts?

    My game's been crashing so much since the update hit live servers.

    Even my friends have experienced this.

    1 or 2 survivors' games crash and fail to load into the match. The trial then begins to only end about 30 seconds later for everyone.

  • It's either instantly when The match starts about one minute in.

    Then it most likely is actual crashing.

    Have experienced this myself. Either I'm the one crashing or it's someone else.

    When crashing I get the blue error screen from Playstation.

    On everyone else's screen my character just stands still and they later get kicked themselves.

    It was changed for some unknown reason so intentional disconnects (They manually hit "Leave Match") do not play the sound. Maybe I sound like a tin-foil hatter but what if BHVR is trying to make it harder to tell if the survivors are ragequitting or having genuine connection problems so killers can't judge other players? (Originally, Leave Match would play the sound, a real connection drop was silent. Now both are silent.)


    The ONLY way to tell if a DC was intentional or not now is if they leave behind a body. If they had a genuine internet issue/crashed they'll vanish.



    If they hit Leave Match their body will be left behind until they actually leave the lobby. This does mean if someone DC'd on first down and their body is still there when you go back to check after hooking the last survivor (or after the exit gates are open), they've been literally spectating the entire match so you know you're about to get BM'd in post-game-chat by them.


    Likewise if they leave the lobby immediately like in the video and you're not there to see them faceplant (Maybe they HATE doctor for example, they hear another survivor scream, and they immediately DC to find another match) it's impossible to tell what happened since their body will be gone before you can reach where they DC'd at.

    I'm sure that's what happened when i played freddy once in the last 2 months. the last one sticks around and you can't do anything to cover item cost. sell back would help somewhat here. people will still be unhappy. they/we always are.
