I get a penalty because the killer disconnects?
Just had a match where the killer left the game, and it counted as a disconnect for me. The killer had the Disconnect symbol next to his name, and the game was working fine until that point. But for some reason the game counted it as a disconnect from me! Has this happened to anyone else?

Probably should be in bug reports tbh.

This.
Saw someone else mention something to that effect earlier. Sucks, but they'll probably patch it up.

Reminds me of the time when there was a visual dc sign post game. I had a survivor ask why i dc when i didnt and they showed me a screenshot of a dc sign and no bp, i then showed them a screenshot of my bp and an obvious no dc sign lol. Off topic but just wanted to mention it

Probably the dedicated servers. Sometimes it kicks you but it shows others as disconnecting.
Oh well you obviously deserved your 5 minute time out. That's what I've learned from reading the forums.

Nobody has said that to you regarding DC penalties. Ever.
If you're going to be upset about something, that's cool, but don't manufacture responses you've never received.

Umm some of us have been saying the penalty system is flawed, due to situations like this. Everyone else is saying it's fine suck it up.

Nobody is denying that it's flawed. They are simply saying that it's a necessary evil at the moment. Which it is. But please proceed to manufacture things to make people seem unreasonable. I feel like you're just annoyed that you can't DC against Hillbilly anymore. That's all I can think of. Since these things aren't that common, so I can't think of a reason you'd be so against penalizing DC's.

Negatively affecting survivors, will be fixed quick, don't worry mate.

Because our culture is based on innocent until proven guilty? yet with this game it's guilty with no chance of being proven innocent.
I like that petty little argument you made about Hillbilly. Still sore again? why do you take it personal? it was a internet forum argument ffs let it go.
Less than 24 hours and people are already getting timeouts due to gamebreaking bugs (rare I admit) or server issues (not so rare).
5 minutes for a 1st time is just ridiculous given all the issues in the game. We know they will never be fixed though that's why they won't wait. Some problems have been in the game for years with no end in sight.
Can't wait until there's another major bug on the next update. Will be interesting to see people change their mind about these penalties when it affects them personally.

Crab mentality is a thing. People even censor themselves all the time. The best thing you can do is keep on clickin'.

You are grasping so hard on each one of these posts lmao.

You know what. If there has to be a small amount of collateral damage (in this case the one or two that are still on dial up but are innocent) to get rid of the droves of DCers i say so be it. PS4 survivor queues have actually improved a little since the penalty went in to effect. Maybe it's from all the DCers not going right back in wait leaving a game with 1 killer and maybe 2 survivors and the rest flooding the search. Fact of business the vast majority of "not my fault 1 disconnect and ridiculous penalty" wouldn't see that penalty if it was an uncommon occurance. If you disagree try to change my mind in a civil manner otherwise i'm going to believe you're one of the multitude of prehook DCs i've been seeing in about 1 in 3 games recently.

If I get a temp ban from a bug or game crash I'll just leave until it's fixed. I don't take kindly to being punished for the dev's mistake, even if it's just a 5 min ban. It may sound dumb, but like, come on, it's still bs
1 -
This is what I've been saying. It's the fact of being punished for something that isn't your fault.
Peanits said the game won't punish you for the infinite load screen as it did before which was my main issue, but then someone said in another thread it did. Not surprised as nothing in this game works as intended. I had a game load in 3 vs 1 a few weeks back and it didn't end it just carried on.
If it happens to me I'm not going to sit and wait 5 minutes I'll just go play something else.

I got a bug yesterday where skill checks wouldn't appear and I couldn't heal myself or others and there was no progress bar. I left that match, guess I should have a ban 4/head lol

Here's a video I posted yesterday found on Reddit.
The game literally doesn't end. It's a disconnect standoff between survivor and killer.
Here's the main problem...
This exact bug caused the same disconnect standoff last time they tried disconnect penalties.
So all this time later, they've tweaked the penalty system and implemented it.....meanwhile this bug still exists. They could tweak and amend their disconnect penalties in that timeframe but could not fix one specific bug.
This is why some of us are so tilted. Sure bugs like this are rare but it's just years and years of bugs with slow fixes. Everyone asks them to test updates better, delay them if necessary yet it never happens and last time we had a new killer we ended up with the basement void bug which literally stopped people from being able to play the game.
Rather than speed up fixing bugs they decide to just punish people for being affected by them instead. It seems so backwards. By implementing this with the excuse "we can't wait" they're basically saying "yeah we'll never fix our game" which is what everyone knew deep down anyway.
The infinite load screen goes all the way back to 2016. They had an update last year saying they found one possible cause but since then...nothing. I asked Peanits on stream and he just said they're "looking into it".
It really comes off as incompetence.

It's funny how all the regular DCers are up in arms about being held accountable now and come up with every fantastical story of something that happened to them( which 99% it's made up) to try and prove why it should be removed
Its you're upset over 5 whole minutes there is no help for you
But please, continue with your stories of how you faced Iridescent hatchet huntress 15 times in a row and they all slugged which validated your DCs
Hilarious

If I had the game breaking bugs that some of these people are claiming they deal with so regularly I would have quit playing long, long ago. I guess i'm just lucky.
1 -
Same. I played games that crashed on me too often before, I gave up on them because it just wasn't fun having to restart the game constantly and losing progress. I highly doubt any of their claims are true. If they are, then they're masochists.

It's a video game. Not a murder investigation. You are taking this way too seriously.

It's not about the bug, it's about the principle of the thing. Why are people banned for stuff that's not theit fault?
