No Bloodpoints on Disconnect

Is it my understanding that the killer is the "game host" and when they disconnect, it ends the match? And that people do this take advantage of a bug that lets them keep their items?

I just had my first really good game as a survivor, where I probably maxed out my BP in a few different catagories, and then "Disconnect from Host" right as I was about to exit the gate, and NO POINTS awarded.

I'm sorry, but thats a busted ass system. It sucks if you legitimately get disconnected, but to have it adversely effect the rest of the players (especially other survivors who would continue playing) is bogus. This needs to be fixed.

    You are supposed to keep your items and BP if the killer disconnect or if you have a connection probleme in any way. Weird.

    No it happens all the time on PS4 idk if they just pull  the plug or what but you go straight to the menu and lose whatever item you had along with offering and points , it’s trash to be honest

    I read not long ago that killers do that when closing the app. Not sure if they used those words because i know no ######### about consoles, but i think they said it was that.

    If they alt-f4 or close the app on consoles then you lose your items and BP. But the leave the match via the start screen then you get to keep your items and BP earned up to that point. It sucks ive have the past 4-6 games on PS4 where the killer just closes the app and I lose the item I had or the BP.

    I believe this is unique to console.  If the killer DCs on PC, you effectively escape (including the 5k BP) with your items.

    I believe what people posted above is correct. If they just shut down the PS4 / Pull the Plug / Or Close the app, it will be hard disconnect and survivors lose all stat gains. If they just exit out of the game via the normal menu system, it counts as an escape for survivors.

    Yupp there's an exploit that killers are using and BHVR has ignored it for months. People are claiming that once there are dedicated servers it would be fixed. So basically we're supposed to suffer about 8 more months of this when it's been going on for over a year if not longer. I have a thread with numerous people trying to debunk it and had to pull YouTube videos and I've tagged it etc and zero comment from within the company even though it's beyond 5 pages.
