Randomly kicked from games ("disconnected from host")
Hi,
I have a question to you guys, because this has been happening far too often for me.
Do you guys just get randomly kicked from a game?
Like, had you pipped in the round or safetied you'll keep your rank, and you get to keep your item, but you lose bloodpoints and- annoyingly- you get a penalty for it.
It'll say "Disconnected from host" and you'll be able to see the killer's entire loadout, as well as not being able to chat; it's like the game is over but it's still going for everyone else.
It's happened to me as killer and as survivor, and the frequency is just increasing at this point. To the point where I don't disconnect, at all, of my own accord and I'll be up to a 30 minute penalty because of how frequently it's happening.
Now, naturally, I'd consider this a me problem about my internet, but the thing is; it isn't. Because when I stream this game my stream remains fine (which, by the way, it happened to me live, here's the clip:
Poor foolish me thinking it was DBD crashing and would be a rare occurance).
Is this happening to anyone else? Because it's genuinely tempting me to uninstall since I can't play more than 4 rounds without this bullshit happening.
And yes, I'm writing this off the back of a game and yes I'm really ######### angry about it all.
If this is a server-side issue, then please excuse me French but BHVR fix your ######### servers, please.
Karu.

It's something to do with their servers and how they interact with certain routers.
I was having this issue after they implemented the servers.
Never ever had a problem being disconnected like this when it was P2P being connected through router.
To fix it I connect straight from modem to PC/Console.
Haven't had these disconnects happen since.

I'm connected from my pc to the router with, like, a 5m long ethernet cable so it goes from my room through like 2 corridors and into the living room where the router is so I don't think it's that.

It is 100% a problem with your router and the servers.
Trust me, connect straight from the modem and you won't have this disconnection problem.

I- I literally do though. Hardwired from my pc to the plastic box that connects us to the Internet that I've always called a router because I can't do technical speak and almost failed my computer science gcse lol. There's no way to connect more direct than that

This has been happening to me but only when I'm facing cross platform survivors and wrecking them. Didn't see this thread and made one myself but I just got a 15 min because it's been making me dc so much.

Always be concerned... always jk😂 of course not😌
I would like to know, however, how the perk designs in that clip appear more, idek, like cartoony than the perks I have on console DBD. Do you have a different version, or is it a UK feature? I’ve seen this once before, though I thought it was some form of hack modification from that specific streamer or sth.

On pc the perk icons (and a lot of generic icons) are just PNG files that can be replaced and the anticheat just doesnt care.

Ah yes, alright... thought maybe it was a PC thing

I did get disconnected 1 match today. Ironically the moment was just perfect.
I was winning and wanted to let 2 survivors go. The second they realized I was gonna let them live they started healing in front of me and suddenly 'boom' - got disconnected.
The Entity really doesn't want me to be kind I suppose.
