Disconnecting Penalties still aren't doing anything

I'm always play fair as killer. Does it stop people like you from suicide? No. Because you are never happy. Immersive teammates - suicide. Bad map - suicide. No gen pop in first 60 seconds - suicide. Why are you playing if you don't want to play? You think you saving your time, but actualy you wasting more time looking for easier games.

First of all great assumption. I've programmed in machine code, assembly code, basic, cobol, fortran, C, C+, C++, Python, Java I've used CLI, I've used DOS 3.0, 3.3, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.1 batch file command structures. I've programmed BBS's before the internet was more than ARPANET. You assume much my young padiwan. My first computer was connected to a TV set on a Channel 3 or 4 switch like the old Atari 2600 and 5200 along with the original Nintendo were with a TAPE DRIVE data storage. So the rest of your argument just flew out the window. I know what "Spaghetti Code" is I also know that the DBD code is encrypted and you'd have to have obtained it via a pirate site if you were to get this code. You obviously don't know what Spaghetti Code really is otherwise you'd know that it would not work well at all yet how can my computer that I, my self, built, loaded, programmed and installed everything have DBD crash maybe once every 3 or 6 months and then looking at the crash log I find out it's tied to an error that is in the windows logs for an event that caused the video drivers to stop working? I have built enterprise networks, I have programed professional CISCO routers VIA CLI and remote CLI to create a network properly. Now that my resume is PARTIALLY out there do you wish to retract your statements?

NO? fine here you are: First: if you have no proof that the game is written in a "SPAGHETTI CODE" style you are talking out your ass. stop making claims that your brain can't even cash properly.

Second: The game can tell when someone presses the functionality button "leave match" and differentiate that with a network or other crash. used to be there were "silent" dc's and "audible" DC's. my theory is that audible was a click leave match backed up by empirical testing with a SWF. I never talked about EAC crashing, I never talked about anything but the fact if you CLICK a functionality button in a program, it KNOWS what that button does and transmits that information to the server, THUS they can know if you clicked the button

Third: you tried to make things look all up and up but since i've destroyed your argument about dc's and my age oh yes i've got almost 3K hours since starting play in 2018. I will stop right there as I have to go do something, if you wish me to continue please do reply I will be back.

I've had maybe 2 people DC in games since they came back. and those were game errors. it is helping a little bit. where as before Id have 1 to 2 DC's per game.

I don't know why people DC and take the penalty when you can just play hide and seek Blendette against really fun and interactive killers and give them a long 30 minute game so they have plenty of time to play! :)

I have had so many booody streames wasted this bloodhunt because of either side just leaving before anything really happens 😭

of course it won't stop, its a deterrent for if they do stop not a preventative measure to say no you can't disconnect

numbers will plummet to probably 5%-4% but they won't reach 0 they will just be better than 50%-33% when the penalty being gone was at its peak

Impressive coding knowledge. I have a few questions though, from a console pov. I believe the devs have stated they cannot differentiate between a button dc and one causes by network failure, etc. Could that be true, at least for Xbox1?

Ever since the patch after Blight came out (Blight's actual patch caused the dreaded inst-overheat for a week for all Xbox1x's like mine) all Xbox players have had increased ping and dc's from connection issues.

Two broad types occur: one is dc'ing as the game loads; offering screen is seen, all are seen on the map but one cannot move while the other survs can move and begin to interact, all for about 20sec, then all are shown the tally screen and told the match was stopped because a player left while loading in. Very common for all this to happen every 3-5 matches.

The other type is as killer or survivor, and less common: player is last seen running straight into a wall or such, then gone. Obviously a killer getting this ends the game, but a surv getting this is shown as a dc and the rest continue. They are now shown a game error message stating "this game requires an Internet connection" message. I have gotten this while streaming or not, and in a chat party or not, and neither are interrupted at all, so my connection isn't cut.

In either case the dc'ing player gets the penalty every time. How could both of these occur? How could the devs tell them appart from a button dc?

As far as "spagetti coding" I have heard the term but do not understand it. Some of the Fog Whisperers use it maybe it came from there. Also PS4 players here claim connection issues such as these are caused by "memory leak" but again I'm ignorant of what that is too.

Restarting my Xbox every few matches baindaids these both for a while. Thoughts?

First of all, in any game there is a function to press a button, the game coding MUST be able to know what it is doing, for instance the button to cause you to search for a match when pressed causes the program to connect to a certain place and that then adds you into the queue to be matched to others playing. the leave match button must have a function even on a console in order for it to remove you from the game. think of it as an elevator button. there is the one switch that stops the elevator dead in it's tracks. Currently there is no coding added to alert them, but this CAN be done and without "Spaghetti Code" issues. I am speaking specifically from a programming point of view and not a console point of view. I do not know the specifics, but you can make it do anything you want to if you write the code properly. I am by no means an "expert" programmer, but I know enough to know how things work generally in every program including windows 10, xbox consoles PS4, and other computing devices but ask me to code a program it would take me ages I'll be honest about that as I am an engineer not computer science programmer.

Spaghetti Code is a term that is used to talk about coding that is done very badly. Think of the program as a flow chart, you have it start and then it goes to one function but then it jumps to the 4th page of programming, then back to the 2nd page of programming as everything is written as it is thought of. The flow chart litterally looks like spaghetti with the code criss-crossing itself many times and then you add something new and suddenly the game / program isn't working and it's a pain in the arse to locate where in the code the issue is even when you've discovered what actually causes it. I hope that does help your understanding better :).

you ask about two different types of disconnects which both of them seem to be network disconnects as you describe them, and I have SEEN both of these happen and I acknowledge that they do occur on pc, xbox, ps4, and any client. for this game to work you are at your home and you connect to your modem and or router (sometimes the same things sometimes different). this is then relayed through several network connections from your house to the trunkline (where the whole neighborhood conencts) to the ISP network center. then your signal is relayed out and another router gets your signal and sends it on its way to the destination server (DBD) and anywhere in this web (one reason it's called the World Wide Web) a router could have an issue communicating or the signal got degraded and the router just drops the signal. in the first case, it's seen and the game stops and lets everyone look for more to try and limit 3 v 1 matches which we all do not like much anyways. the second one you mention, this happens in the middle of the player trying to do something (running somewhere) so the server keeps the movement going for a bit till it finally determines the signal got dropped and removes the character and applies the disconnect emblem for that player.

There can be many reasons and most are out of the player's control here and I agree it's bad to give them a penalty but in order to find this out there would have to be a really robust detection scheme that looks at the network packets to determine what happened and this is VERY hard to do without a human actually looking at the packets just before and right after. BTW if you want to know about how many routers are between your signal and another location, any website or server, you can open a windows command prompt (dos prompt) type tracert (website with out the () ) and each line is a router in the network path. :)

my man the reason why i swap to p3 blendette after some nasty freddy spirit games or hostage docs who want 1hr games is so they get a feel for how boring it is going against that sort of playstyle. like nothing is more mind numbing as killer then w'ing around trying to find people who aren't doing anything, and nothing is more satisfying than escaping or dcing last second when caught to deny bbq stacks. besides, i cant dc instantly vs slingers and spirits anymore, so we have to find fun in the bad games lol
