The DC penalty timer is out of control and needs fixing
I've been trying to get this challenge done for killer and the game as crash two times on me while i was in the middle of it. And each time, i got a DC penalty for it! The first was 4 Mins long, now i have to wait 12 before i can try another time
The timer is so unfair. If people are sore and want to leave the game, i get, but what if theres an emergancy? What if the game crashes? What if theres so much lag that you have to leave otherwise why play at all?
The timer needs to be sorted, able to recognize DC-ing from accidents. And above all, its needs a refresh setting at the end of every month or something like that, so the times don't just build and build until you have hours instead of minutes

I agree. My highest penalty was almost 20 minutes and it was because my game crashed also.

That's why the first 2 penalties are so short. If you do have an emergency you need to attend to then by the time you get back you wont have much waiting. If the game keeps crashing on you verify your game files something might have corrupted(I say this because I was having the same issue and did that and haven't had any crashes since)
The problem is if you put in a timer that doesn't count crashes or lagging out then people can just force that action to happen and not get ant penalty. You can think all of the people who quit games because the slightest thing didn't go their way. That is simply hop it is.

What I don't understand is that to DC one must confirm doing so through the menu. A crash bypasses that and just kills the game. Can they not implement some kind of feature that can tell when someone is actually intentionally leaving the game early as opposed to the game suddenly cutting out?
And yes, I know that a salty player can also just kill the game himself while avoiding the disconnect menu altogether, but I feel that if someone's gonna be so exasperated as to kill a game that's going to take five minutes to start back up and another five minutes to get into the first match, he's giving himself a DC punishment anyway.

DC penalty is working as intended. If you are having technical issues - seek guidance in the TECHNICALL ISSUES forums. Either way - purposeful/accidental - your DC is affecting 4 other players. I don't want to team with/against people who DC on purpose or who are having issues staying connected.
