A DC penalty is received for the dbd server bug 8,012
The error message appeared on the screen and it prevented me from playing the game. I received the DC penalty after it.

I saw it on a live stream on TrU3's twittch channel (7:07 and onwards):

Same happened on Otz's a couple of days ago and he chatted with his followers while the matchmaking was locked.
I played yesterday SWF and 2 of my friends got disconnected a couple of times pre-match and during match. When they disconnected pre-match we all got -1 rank progress and occasionally they'd get a 50% chance of a DC ban and when they disconnected during match because of this error they got a 100% DC ban.

Now I got the 8,012 bug.
I was cleansing a totem and once I completed the cleansing I got disconnected. For some reason this happens whenever you're doing an interaction with an object (repairing a gen, cleansing a totem, healing a survivor).
This time the 8,012 bug was so sever that I it screwed up my network interface controller. I wasn't able to connect to any website on my gaming computer, but I was able to connect to the internet using my other devices (work computer, cell phone, smart tv). I had to restart my computer in hopes it would work and luckly it did, cause the next step would be to reinstall the driver of my network interface controller.
If it was a dc and I didn't get a ban I'd be ok with it. Even with a ban if it happens like once a week I'll be cool with it. However it's happening so often my ban is getting longer which I'm still ok with, but if the game starts screwing up my laptop - my very expensive laptop - this is where I draw the line. No amount of bp's, no dlc, no rift, no graphical update, no chapter, no bugfix will fix my trust to ever return to this game if this isn't fix.

If you don't click ok and you're still in the game wait for the end of match, you won't get penalty.

That's because the timer for the dc ban runs out. But the issue is that it takes me back to the loading screen and even at the loading screen it goes haywire.It doesn't let me in the game cause od the 8,012 error and I can't click on the exit game button. I have to kill the game with the Ctrl + Alt + Del.

I just started a game, as survivor, we all readied up and then the loading screen appeared and stayed on for a lot longer than usual, then it said an error occurred during loading, then I saw it said -1 and I had lost pip, exited the end game page and my pip is still gone. People like to make out like it isnt a big deal but I like getting pips so to loose 1 for no reason is infuriating, especially as I lost one before that game and in the game after due to a camper/tunnelled. Its just not fair.

Yes, but the timer don't stack if I get it few times a day.
What you can try is, add -primarynet to your steam launch options
