Is anyone else being DC'd and getting a penalty?

    Seems to only happen when I play dredge.

    DC'd, yes, but no penalty thankfully

    Once yesterday with a 15 second lock.

    Today with a 5 minute lock.

    Then again today with a 15 minute lock.

    All with dredge.


    My internet is good. Speed tests and packet loss tests are good.

    Yeah, it's been happening to me ever since 7.3.0 dropped. There's been a large influx of threads over the past few weeks of people reporting similar issues. You're definitely not the only one.

    I'll add that I was against a Blight both times when my game has frozen and DC'd. Not sure if it's killer related but seeing as others have mentioned Dredge I thought I'd share.

    Has been happening a lot, with or without penalties. Latest was me getting kicked from a game against a dredge and getting a penalty, but I've dc'd repeatedly with Clown, and I saw a Spirit DC when she was doing decently and dcing made no sense. Since the event started the servers have been unstable.

    Ya'll are gonna tear into me for this one but the penalty should be capped at 30 minutes max. Anything over an hour is just excessive and unnecessary.

    Nah I agree. I support DC penalties to a limit. 30 minutes sounds about right. A player knowing they'll have to wait half an hour may think twice before DCing.

    Yep i've been having this issue for a week i think. I've been searching on the internet about it and sadly it seems like some people have had this issue since january and they have been unable to fix it. The only fix i heard that worked for people regardless of their platform... was to buy a new router. Not a great solution.

    Personally i've tried a few things, i think flushing the DNS Resolver cache (it's doing the ipconfig thing in command prompt, the internat has plenty of easy guides on how to do this) helps and also i updated my graphics drivers (i know it's a network error but it seems to have helped)

    By the way it's definitely not a character specific issue because it's happened to me in a variety of situations as both roles. It's seems random.
