Where is the DC Penalty?

Was it ever said why they disabled it? If not, when are they bringing it back? I'm kind of getting sick of teammates insta-DCing whenever they go against something they don't like, or they get downed first. It's tiresome.

    It was disabled because of all the crashes everyone kept having to deal with. It caused unintentional DCs to get the penalty which was a problem. Although, I can’t wait until it’s back because DCs are annoying.

    RE chapter caused severe performance issues for consoles and some PCs resulting in crashes while playing. DC penalty was turned off so players would not be penalized due to such terrible performance issues caused by the patch. Currently they have "some fixes" planned for the mid chapter release which will hopefully fix these crashes but the mid-chapter at earliest won't be released until end of July/beginning of August. Hopefully the planned fixes will fix the crashes but if they don't I wouldn't be surprised if the DC penalties remain off.
