Handle Steam maintenance better

Steam maintenance has been happening every Tuesday for longer than DBD has been around and yet every Tuesday, the game kicks people out and gives them a DC penalty and depip if they're playing during that window. Why is this not handled better after 5 years of being released? Y'all know the exact date and time it's going to happen. Of course, I do too, and I typically avoid playing because I understand that I likely will get disconnected. But considering how many people post every Tuesday in the Discord around this time, it's obviously still an issue and should be handled more gracefully by the game. Don't allow people to queue up for games between 5:45pm CST and 6:10pm CST. Or, better yet, disable the DC penalty during that window because you know people are going to get disconnected from servers. The onus should 100% be on the game to handle this better, not on players to remember (especially if they are new and don't know about Steam maintenance).
