I feel like this is going to get burried and I want to know if others are experiencing this. There is a bug that loads you into a game, shows you have no network connection and sends you back to the menu. I can confirm this is not a network issue as I did not get a DC timer for leaving a match. I seems to happen to the killer only. you'll know if you load in as survivor or killer and directly as the match starts it shows the killer dcing.

    I go through periods of time where I have this type of thing happen on the survivor side (survivor main) on a consistent basis. Sometimes while a match is loading, and sometimes during a match. I never have even a small network slowdown on anything else in my house.

    The other day I had 3 matches in a row with the little symbol in the upper left corner indicating a slow connection. I actually got disconnected and received the "no network connection" error on the third one. Immediately after that I streamed a 4k movie from Netflix without any problem. After the movie I played a couple of hours of Fortnite without a single issue. The next thing I did was try to play DBD and got disconnected from my first match because of "no network connection".

    My cable TV is streaming. I stream 4k Netflix. I play other online games through both PS4 and PC. I never have any network issues with any of those things. Yet I have frequent network issues with DBD. I've come to the conclusion my supposed network issues when playing DBD come from their end and not mine. I don't know if their dedicated servers are poor quality, ifthey don't have enough of them, or what the issue might be. I just know DBD is the only thing that ever gives me even a little bit of trouble.
