An idea to stop cheaters from holding the game hostage
So there's been a massive cheater problem as many of you know some small others blind you from Mars I don't have a fix for the small ones but if you don't know the match automatically closes after 2 hours to help reduce server stress
My solution is to put a semi timer on the game of like 40 min and if that timer reaches 0 the end game collapse happens giving people a 2min timer to finish another gen to add 2 min back to this timer as soon as the endgame collapse happens all remaining survivors die and the realm closes
You may ask why the timer on the match and not just have the egc end the match like normal this is because if a cheater is holding the game hostage egc will never happen putting a max cap of time on the match of 1 hour
(This is optional and a on the fly though there could be glyphs that spawn around the map that takes small chunks of time out of that timer)
What are your ideas on this or your ideas to stop the game being held hostage

I just thought of something for suble cheaters nothing for the small speed cheaters but the ones that disappear
If a surivor gets further than 8m from you the chase music will dissappear instantly so this happens often you are probably fighting a cheater and shouldn't commit to a chase with them

Until there's better anti cheat software implemented, they need to disable the DC penalty. Cheating and hacking has run rampant for far too long. BHVR needs to fix this ASAP.

I thought about this too but this is too short sighted killer dosent like a map dc surivor dosent like a certain killer dc
Yes they should get a better anti cheat but disabling the dc penalty will make more problems than now

But that's just the thing, it's become a widespread problem now, and people leaving a match isn't going to stop that. If someone leaves the match then you can simply leave yourself and start a new one up, but if you were held hostage then you're looking at a two hour wait until the server collapses.
DC is a short-term solution, this I agree with, but it's the only one guaranteed to work in the interim.

So your worried about a wide spread problem and your solution is to give everyone the possibility to make a problem

Everything you suggested has been said numerous times before. Everyone has their own ideas to fix this issue, but you and I aren't BHVR. We can keep offering suggestions until we're blue in the face, but the only thing that's guaranteed to work is disable DC.
I get that there will be people that won't like it, but clearly there's not going to be a quick solution to this, so what would you suggest?

instead of the server closing in 2hours it should close in 35 minutes and almost instantly when the EGC time is up.

There's no reason for a game to last 2 hours. Half an hour is even too long. If my game isn't done in 20 minutes, I'm going next no matter the situation. I'd like the devs to put in a 20-25 minute cap because that's as long as a game should ever last. They'd probably have to add in something to discourage people waiting it out just to troll, but I'm sure BHVR can think of something.
