    There's no way you got a 24 hour penalty off a single connection issue.

    That's hilarious. I mean you must DC a LOT so the system is working as intended.

    The penalty timer IS working. If you get disconnected often enough to get a 24 hour penalty, you need to take a break until you get your internet issues fixed. If you ragequit enough to get a 24 hour penalty, you need to take some time to self reflect and stop.

    Explain how the penalty Is working when the game kicks you and you get told by the game itself that you was disconnected from server and not d/cing and your internet has nothing to do with it plus it being known that this glitch has been here since the lunar event. how getting penalized by the game kicking you is considered the penalty working as intended. It's obvious that killer mains aren't getting randomly kicked or not enough are to nab the devs attention to fix it. Because i play both equally and i get randomly kicked and get a timer oh btw i played a match with santa on his backup and he was kicked again and had a 2 min timer. Now i ask again how is the penalty working as intended with all this happining. Oh and santa and i aren't the only ones complaining about this glitch there are others who feel almost the same as we do. But if the devs don't want to fix it that's fine we have Texas chainsaw massacre coming out and killer clowns from outer space coming out and i see people flocking to eaither or. Found out we both have been playing since before Mike Myers was released and it seems the game since mathew got owned on his own game survivors pay the price for it.

    Have you reached out to Support? If you're consistently having DC issues then I would be focusing on trying to fix those before continuing to play. As you've experienced, the result is just your penalty increasing.

    I had some wild weather in my area not long ago and had black outs. By night 2 I decided to stop playing the game until the weather had settled, which was the right decision as I had to endure a couple more nights of black outs after that.

    I have reached out to support the games has been kicking people randomly since the lunar event. Usually I'll kicked but it'll say disconnected from server this is the only time I've been kicked do too internet connection issue I seem to get disconnected from server almost everyday and I usually stop when it gets to the 6hour penalty but I decided to play with friends and this time it kicked me before the match even started and I got a 24 hour ban....all I'm saying is it the game is working accurately it should not give you a ban penalty when it tells you it's self what happened that was out if your own control....now If I had dcd myself all those times to get the penalty I wouldn't have had a problem accepting the penalty I got but the fact is the game kicked me and told me the reason knowing I did not rage quit

    The DC penalty cannot be based around the type of disconnection. If for example, it didn't count DCs when the internet connection went out, people would just deactivate their internet connection to avoid the game.

    The vast majority of players don't have issues with the game crashing. If you do, contact support or try a different forum section, but if you're actually looking for help on the technical side this isn't the right place.

    Not exactly going to get sympathy for your plight.

    Yeah this game has been kicking me randomly as well since the lunar event and i first thought the ghost face who was ddosing me but i found out it was a glitch and when i went to report the glitch I was threatened by member of this site telling me not to post about it and if I did 2 things could happen 1. I would be banned from this site or 2. He would have All my posts marked as seen and closed immediately after posting and this threat was sent to me after i tried posting about it for the first time. Kinda dumb that from what i saw the devs know about this glitch but it to happen to survivors and it seems like they don't care because you would think they would at least turn off the penalty until they can fix it

    Sometimes when you get disconnected due to power outage, the red timer will read sth extravagant to the likes of several hours; even 24hrs like you’ve experienced.

    I’ve had this happen a few times.

    Closing out of and then reopening the game has always worked for me, as by the time the game reloads, the 1min penalty has expired.
