Why DC bans are back when the game clearly still isn't performing at an acceptable level?
Clear sound issues, clear scratchmark issues, clear issues with everything you can imagine... I want to play this game but apparently BHVR doesn't want me to so i guess i just quit.

This has been an odd fix. Because for some like me the gam works great now, but others are still suffering

Well those are different issues, those arent issues that disconnect you/make you crash which is why the dc was removed before. Since that's fixed these are just the usual bugs after a patch.
Like every patch there are bugs, this time it's more on the killers end

It's riddiculous i can't enjoy the game on either PC or console. I'm getting issues on both versions of the game. I'm getting mor PC issues now than i ever had.

I'm sorry but those clearly affect my ability to play the game.If i DC it's justified by lack of performance. This feels like a goddamn Alpha instead of a release ready game.

The game performs so well that in all this time during Bloodhunt + cakes i have gotten 84k BP. And that's from the games i decided to not DC like a dumbass cause DC's were justified in those games too. Tell me someone else who is using BP and cake's and only makes 84k BP in this time...

I feel like it’s become a situation of “this is why we can’t have nice things.” It was turned off to make the game more bearable for console players who were crashing constantly. And then people decided to abuse it and DC over anything happening that they don’t like. So here we are now

I'm guessing you didn't experience that many real-life emergencies (the only real justification for DCing), so if you want to know why the penalties are back, it's because of you and people like you, who feel justified in DCing for any reason.

No its different. While it's an issue for sure I agree it's not an issue that forces you to quit and face the DC penalties, people was being banned for no fault of their own, even with the issues they tried to put up with it and play but got crashes. You're quitting because you cant do as well. I'd rather not have people quit every game again, I'd actually like to play an event properly

It was fine the two days before the event. I'm guessing its their ######### servers

Either way the game isn't performing well so the issue is still there regardless of DC bans so banning people isn't a solution to anything.
So i should take crap and like it? I'm not justified in DC'ing when clearly the game becomes unplayable? I'm guessing you probably would play Cyberpunk at launch, or AC Unity, or insert whatever disastrous game... And i'm having issues across 2 platforms so clearly the problem isn't on me DC'ing because i can't play, clearly the problem is the game. If the game was alright i wouldn't be DC'ing. DC bans won't stop me from DC'ing whenever i have justification for it, what DC bans will do is make not play for longer.
What event? It was a Log In bonus and compensation for catastrophic chapter launch, there was no event, it was copy paste. They deliberatly lied about putting more focus on the big events, we have the proof to this right in front of us. Survivors weren't getting enough cake's compared to killers, not that it mattered much since game performance has been at an all time low, so the chances of cakes being wasted are absurdly high anyway... What nice thing has come out of the event?

So what you're saying is because you choose to DC because you don't feel the game is preforming well enough so you quit, you shouldn't be punished for it? yeah there are still some issues. the only big one for me has been a sound issue when it comes to the entity sound playing when there's no one on a hook which throws me off as both killer and survivor.

What about console players games crashing? I heard that was happening a lot over the anniversary event making it nigh unplayable for them and even now I still notice most DCs happen by console players at times that don't make sense (Like I don't down them they're doing a gen across the map and DC leading me to assume their game crashed).

If you don't think the game is in an acceptable state, don't play the game. Playing anyway and then DCing just ruins the game for other people. Deal with it or stay out of matchmaking.

Even if the event is a repeat it's an event. Okay so save the cakes till now when there isn't crashes etc. Quitting certainly isn't helping you get bp is it. And all it does is mess over the other players trying to play the game, you quitting takes away bp etc. For others, either play or dont it's that simple there are other games out there and these issues really arent that bad

Just had a match where the game lagged out, kicked me and I’m punished for it. Good work guys.

I agree banning people isn’t a solution, it’s what dbd does best a bandaid fix. Sure it won’t be fixing the bugs but what it will do is discourage people from dcing constantly over minor inconveniences. And to answer the other things you were saying. I’m not sure what you mean by “justified” if we’re talking like 1000+ ping matches you will probably dc even if you don’t want to. But if it’s just you dcing because you don’t like the killer or the perks they’re running or the map or how fast survivors are doing gens or how fast your totems get cleansed . Nah that’s not justifiable at all. And while you’re right it won’t stop you from dcing it will mean that many less matches that those people who rage quit over everything can ruin. And lastly by event I think they mean the 2x blood point event going on right now.

I did actually play CP2077 at launch, because I didn't experience any of these big issues other people did.
And i'm having issues across 2 platforms so clearly the problem isn't on me DC'ing because i can't play, clearly the problem is the game. If the game was alright i wouldn't be DC'ing.
If you're DCing that much, then, clearly, the game is unplayable for you and you need to stop trying to play it. How many times do you need to burn yourself on a hot stove before you stop trying to touch it?

If it's that bad then don't play, because you're gonna DC anyway.

The last patch definately improved performance a bit. On the other hand, since the update my game randomly crashes sometimes. It´s so weird.

I'm not talking about stuff like builds or how people play or even ping, i can only see my ping but Ping isn't an issue for me on any other game so i'll have to rule out Ping as my problem. i'm strictly talking about the game not working as intended.
Save the cakes for when? When can i play the game? I already have limited time to play and when i try it's not working so when can i expect to use something in this game?
Yeah ofc you didn't experience any problems with Cyberpunk, the whole world did but you're the special snowflake...Yeah i definetly need to stop playing this cause it's definetly not worth it but i suppose that's good then right? At least there's 1 less person complaining about actual problems...I guess the solution to people complaining is to have them not complain regardles of their motives... i gotta say i was expecting that as your follow up.
I wouldn't DC if there conditions to play. I've already said this...
Didn't improve anything for me. I've done reinstalls and the problems still happen so it's not my issue, it's my PS5 or PC that have issues it's DbD....

Most reviews are positive, it was just a vocal minority of players who seemed to have a vested interest in trying to force CDPR to go under.

It's not good, no, but if the game "isn't performing at an acceptable level", then you definitely shouldn't accept its current state. Playing it just means you do accept it as it is, or at least believe the problems aren't that big of a deal.
i gotta say i was expecting that as your follow up.
Expected what, exactly? You just said a bunch of stuff and then claimed I'm the one who said it, even though I didn't.

Games in a way better state than before, like your op was just about scratch Mark's and sounds, if noticed the same in my games but I'm not quitting. The game will never be bug free, sorry but it wont but these issues while annoying arent as bad.
Well use cakes and make do, I am, others are but if you quit it means 0 BP instead. Stick it out or play another game to chill on, I do it too

Yeah Reviews... IGN DbD 9/10. Great Review, so accurate...
So i should simply quit until further notice? And ######### me and ######### my money right? I don't get to play what i bought, fantastic. Can't even get refunds, amazing. ######### the consumer.
Where did i claim you said something you didn't? See this the response i'm expecting from you, just like the one from before based on your first response. If you think there's clearly no reason for me to be complaining about the problems the game has then just don't comment don't come here and pretend that the game is fine. It's a broken moldy spaghetti monster.

I only remember the game being in a Decent state in 2019...I said clear issues with everything you can imagine, yes i particularly mentioned scratchmarks and sounds because those are two pivotal points for playing killer, without sounds or scratch marks you can't chase people...
So you agree the game has issues but you chose to keep playing regardless. The issues are bad, very freaking bad. So if you say you have issues and i say i have issues, how manny other people are having issues? It's been over a month and these issues are still happening. Whenever they announce a "fix" to something they break something else ... It's not a Meme, it's a Reality. When can i expect to play the game? Or if they don't want me to play then they should just say so an i'll definetly stop trying.

No, Steam user reviews. This is what I mean when you say things I didn't say and then act like I said them.
So i should simply quit until further notice?
If the game is unplayable for you, as you claim, then yes. That's just basic common sense and follows directly from what it means to be "unplayable".
And [BAD WORD] me and [BAD WORD] my money right? I don't get to play what i bought, fantastic. Can't even get refunds, amazing. [BAD WORD] the consumer.
The alternative is to continue supporting a supposedly broken product. Which do you think is best for you, the consumer?
EDIT: Besides, you yourself said you were quitting, right in your OP. Why is it only a bad idea when other people are proposing it?
Where did i claim you said something you didn't?
Right here, for instance:
If you think there's clearly no reason for me to be complaining about the problems the game has then just don't comment don't come here and pretend that the game is fine. It's a broken moldy spaghetti monster.

I'm on PC and having no major issues.
The issues you hare having doesn't justify DC during a match. If it was with the game itself more would be experiencing which isn't the case. There are four other players that you are negatively impacting. You shouldn't be joining matches until you have resolved the issues.
Does your system and connection meet the games requirements? Are all your drivers updated? etc, etc.
The number of people DC was out of control and needed to be reinstated.

Good for you. It's not my PC, i'm having the same problems on PS5, i already said this multiple times...

You said reviews and i mentioned the Bs that is IGN's review of DbD, if you wanna talk about Steam Reviews then you're gonna find alot of negative reviews, so what exactly is your point about reviews? Mind you there's a ton of negatives reviews prior to the last month so it isn't just this time the game gets negative reviews neither is this the first time they get the same issues. I may not have been playing since the Alpha, wich at this point i'd consider i am since the game has been performing as bad as an Alpha or worse.
Yeah i'm definetly quitting, it's clear they don't give a goddamn flying ######### about how bad the game has been. They purposefully did Events while they knew alot of people couldn't play.... I can only conclude they don't care about fixing what needs to be fixed before doing an event. If they cared they talk to people but they don't, they have a very clear record of not communicating. So no i'm not saying quitting is a bad idea, what i'm saying is that a player quitting is never good and should never happen but it looks like it would just be a better alternative than having someone complain right? If there's no complaints there's no problems...
Can't make them shut up about your faulty product? Just ignore them till they finally move on, what a nice and friendly consummer politic.

The lag is so bad for me on RPD, if I get it I just don’t move. I might as well give the killer some points rather than struggle through the lag and blow skill checks for my teammates. And of course I won’t DC but I’ve had it just crash and I get the penalty anyway.

The game works way better for me on every map EXCEPT RPD. So that's fun.
