Game Crashes and Host Disconnections Are Killing My Enjoyment Of This Game

Title.

For my first two Killer matches this morning, I was not able to load into the actual trial because I was disconnected from the host. It look a long time to load after the lobby and then the game crashed, showing a message that I had been disconnected from the host. While I thankfully didn't lose a pip during these matches, I did lose my offering both times. On the flip side, a similar host disconnection crash happened yesterday while I was in the middle of a match, and I ended up losing a pip and dropping a rank (which was especially punishing since I had 4 hooks with only 1 gen left--there was still time to earn at least a safety pip.)

This game can be frustrating in so many ways--toxic players, frame rate drops at critical times during a match (playing on Xbox One), hackers, etc. However, not being able to load into a trial or not even being sure at what point the game is going to crash during a match may be the most frustrating.

I already submitted a bug report for when this was happening during some Survivor matches earlier in the week, but I haven't heard about any resolution. In any case, thanks for letting me vent...
