Remove DC penalties until game breaking bugs are fixed.

Besides encountering freezes and crashes midgame on a regular basis (only in DbD, no other game), these are just some of the problems I recently encountered ingame:

  • Getting lagged outside the map as Billy
  • Getting stuck as Nurse on random objects
  • Getting connected to a server where lagbacks are so severe that you can't chase survivors or run from the killer in any meaningful way
  • Getting hit while the killer is literally on the other side of the map (in less extreme cases, he is only a few tiles next to you)
  • Two killers in one game bug
  • Playing against a doctor and not being able to snap out of it, thus staying in Madness 3 and not able to do anything

Since any amount of tryharding makes no sense anyways given the state of Dedicated Servers, I just play casually (still Rank 1 on both Killer and Survivor though), but certain bugs just make the game completely unplayable. And this is just scratching the surface of game breaking bugs that prompt me to hit the disconnect button.

Combining the DC penalties with a game which has an embarrassing amount of game breaking bugs, the game currently prevents itself from being played.

    You forgot when you are in permanent healing animation and cannot be picked up from dying state. Can't die from EGC

    Someone has to bite the bullet and takea penalty because of lazy band-aid fix that solves nothing :D


    All it does is further frustrate players who are already annoyed all the while it punishes people for encountering bugs...

    Oh yeah, totally forgot about that one. I got a feature recently where I walked through the exit without escaping (not the first time too), the killer closed the hatch and I had to wait for EGC to kill me. Well, at least I didn't have to DC in that case :>

    2 friends just got d/c'd from game but their character icons remained in game (icons didn't change to DC icon, one was stuck on hook, one just poofed out of existence no bodies) both got the D/C penalty. LOL great game. Can't wait for this to occur with more people.

    If you're encountering problems during a match then the DC penalty doesn't change anything other than the fact that you'll probably want to play less often.

    You would still get stuck in certain places in certain conditions and if it does just let the game run it's course and report the issue so it can be fixed.

    If you were getting stuck on certain objects raise the issue and the map would be temporarily disabled until it's fixed, just like how badham preschool was.

    there are bugs where the only option is to DC, then having to wait after is just insult to injury
