When killers DC

I've had it a lot recently where the killer will DC before the game finishes, sometimes you don't get anything, you don't get any blood points, nor do you pip (sometimes you depip), and you lose your offerings.

I know dedicated servers, but this is an issue that needs to be fixed before then. Especially that killers get a blood point bonus for when survivors DC.

    Usually happens when the wifi of the Killer gets weird and disconnects them, usually not on purpose.

    I didnt know being stomped and unable to hook anyone causes wifis to go haywire.

    I've had more killers DC when they're winning than when they're losing. So yeah, I'd buy that, at least in situations where they're winning.

    I've not, actually I had only one killer DC when he was winning, rest of the time they DC after the 4º or 5º gen with just 1 or 2 hooks or when Ruin goes down in the first 30 seconds.

    Killers dc'ing more than usual for me as well. I agree with Nutty_Professor - waiting for dedicated servers will take too long. I lose pips and after rank reset it's just salt on the wound. Do we really think it's due to poor internet/loading?

    Waiting for dedicated servers may take some time, but they're the best tool to know what's going on.

    It's happened to me, most recently the other night where I was playing as Myers, with one survivor dead, one survivor on the hook, and two survivors in my sights with tier 3 just being activated. Then my internet cut out.

    However, what happens to me a lot when I play survivor is that I get a killer chasing me for the majority of the game, when the last gens pops the killer disconnects. Then in the next game I get the same killer, but this time he's playing Leatherface, and facecamps me the moment I'm downed (I'm a red rank survivor so I often go against the same players). I highly doubt in this scenario the killer dc'd due to internet connection.

    It's very rare to see a Killer DC when he's winning. Most of the time, Killer's DC when Hex Ruin goes down and they haven't caught sight of a single survivor, or if 2 gens have been completed and nobody's been hooked yet, or in the lobby.

    I was killer as a Clown. A survivirs was toxic. I hits an downed 3 survivior. My mom just passed by the TV and last living survivor helaed toxic survivor friends. I was so angry that I left the game. It was lucky for me that I often fight against toxides, my mom ruined it. Playing the killer is frustrating. althoughIn the "game" pattern, survivors are too toxic and make the game unplayable.
