Need to fix killer DC's

Playing survivor shouldn't mean you get a penalty when the killer decides to DC. I just wanna play the damn game but I guess if the killer can control how often I get to play the it's meaningless trying to play anyway.

    You dont get a penalty if the killer DCs.


    Maybe your game crashed or something.

    there have been issues occasionally but not regularly where the killer dc's and someone gets hit with a penalty but looks like they got out on their end. now some times that is because they dc'd and their system is reporting incorrectly. another issue here can be a hack but i think this might be unlikely.

    This occasionally happens to me on my Xbox. Not a crash I go to the summary page and see two dc's me and the killer, both no points. Usually with the gates open and we just broke the last hooked outta jail and are bodyblocking like pros, despite all being solo. If the killer is showing online they have already started a different game up, which may have something to do with it.

    If I'm in a SWF they last see me running into a wall or straight ahead until the summary page pops up. This always breaks up the lobby even if it is not mine. I def get hit with the matchmaking penalty, and I imagine the killer did too. AIso I'm not always the one to show up as a dc either. I think I got lagged out when the killer left, but I'm no expert.

    Most annoying but thankfully uncommon.

    What I was saying is there are times where their client says the killer dc'd and knocks them out, but what really happened is their client only said killer dc'd but what actually happened is they were bounced from the game and thus they were the one that actually dc'd. If i misspoke i apologize but I may have been overly tired when responding and didn't realize it at the time. anyways there are things we can't know when people claim this as they are unwilling to have the proof said (swf and everyone was bumped) they only talk about them as if it was a solo survivor queue (very possible) but that would not give the proof that they were actually dc'd at all. also because their client thinks the killer dc'd in one way, you can't spectate. this is what happened to me when i was booted, said killer dc'd and we all had escaped, I couldn't spectate but my friends were in the game still!

    As a killer, I would love to play the game against a full team of survivors instead of 2.

    DC's aren't a side specific issue, so don't try to make it one.
