No DC penalty = Not worth playing.

Well I have played only three matches during the anniversary since December so i can't judge the current situation but overall the game did crash for me maybe half a dozen times SINCE IT'S RELEASE. On two different PC, in 3 different households and only ever got one 5 minute penalty and took that as a sign to stop for that evening.

So I also can't understand those people whining for DC penalties to get removed. Especially since most if not all other online pvp games with fixed teams have them.

I was froze one time in lobby when switched to other role, sometimes after a trial I'm getting display problems where my bloodweb flickers

Also had a trial against deathslinger which got crashed at the start of a chase

My game hasn't crashed in a few hours of playing the event, but I've been much, much laggier than usual (screen freezing a few times), which never happened to me on the game before.

I believe the issue is mostly on console for those saying they have not had crashes. I have had one crash where both me and killer got disconnected at the same time but this was before penalties were turned off and I didn't get a penalty for that.

I suspect we will see a hotfix in the next couple of days, at least I would hope so otherwise the no DC penalty thing will kinda ruin this otherwise pretty decent event

I also haven't crashed a single time. I'm on PC.

In addition to possible crashes there were also some reports that hackers found a way to disconnect other players. That happened once before a long time ago and they turned the DC penalty off then too with a similar regrettable spike in disconnects, it sucked. Hopefully they patch whatever is wrong so they can turn the penalty back on.

I'm on console and I have had my game crash since the event started. Happened to two of my friends too.

I've also seen it happen to other players mid match for no reason. Killers when they are winning the match so they had no reason to DC. Same for survivors. We'd be down to one gen, nobody on death hook then someone randomly DC's.

No issue it's worth disabling the penalty because it only causes more trouble for those who DONT have connection issues. They disabled the penalties before and it was a HUGE DC fest of players "claiming" they were having connection issues.

After event dropped I haven't had any strange DCs or lag spikes like others have claimed. Now that could be because of my area I live or my specs but that's besides the point I'm trying to make.

If Actual connection issues were caused by the event then they could of dialed back the event to fix the problem.

What about the 10 million who don't complain but still want the DC penalty?

Regardless of whether or not we can determine the exact reason as to WHY the penalty was disabled, I doubt BHVR have done it just for a laugh. It wouldn't surprise me if there's something in the event's code that is causing crashes. I myself haven't experienced any and I am on console whereas others have experienced them. It's clear then that the cause of the crashes isn't something that can be easily identified and patched, so in the meantime the penalty has been disabled.

Obviously it's led to more DCs from players who just don't want to play at all (for some reason) but what is the alternative? You can't have players be locked out of playing the game through no fault of their own. In an ideal world the event would have launched without any problems at all but that's the situation we're dealing with. It's necessary, and the ironic silver lining here is that hackers no longer get to have their fun because players can instantly leave their games with no consequence. But I understand it's frustrating, I've had a few games go south for no reason other than someone giving up the second they get a map/killer they don't like. I can't stand those types of players.

I don't see many dcs
