Disable DC penalty - Servers are broke

This is the 10th time this week I've been issued a DC penalty because the DBD servers just die mid match. The fact DC penalties are still enabled when this is so common is ridiculous.

    Is everyone else in your match also being disconnected? What error message are you receiving? Ten times seems a bit ludicrous.

    I am pretty sure you don't get any penalty when server kicks all players off. I don't remember ever getting one recently and I had few server kicks here and there.

    So this sounds more like your internet issue. Sorry.

    When the Server crashed and you get the "Dedicated Server not responding"-Message, you dont receive a DC-Penalty. Everyone else is shown as disconnected as well.

    If you are the only person disconnecting, this is on your end.

    "Since it's not happening to me, It must be fake"

    it's a mental state from some gamers.

    that said I on reg never even see a DC pen unless T deserved it. but even I have gotten at least 3 that I did not deserve, and it may or may not be related to a piece of hardware people on PS4/5 may or may not be using between their console and their controls.

    But that's just a guess.

    From my personal experience I've seen the server disconnected issue several times and have never gotten a penalty for it. I do however get them when our internet or power goes out. We get a lot of different types of weather that knock the power out several times a year so I honestly see it more than the server disconnect issue.

    Not saying it's the same for everyone but from my experience the server crashes don't carry penalties. Are you by chance using a VPN or anything that may be causing issues? It may not be your internet. Could be a bad wifi connection, bad or loose ethernet cable, etc...

    Well, lets see. I personally dont have this issue 10 times a week. In fact, it happened two times this week and this is an odd case, usually it happens maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks.

    And I never get a DC-Penalty. Others also dont get it.

    It is most likely on your end. This happens all the time that people come to the Forum to complain about the game or servers being broken, while the problem is on their side.

    "Something has happened to me, it must be a systematic problem that affects everyone"

    Everyone: "not me, I'm good" "I'm good too" "yeah no problems here"

    "Wow everyone is lying"

    Though thankfully rare, I've gotten DC penalties when the server drops the entire match. Haven't noticed anything different between those vs the usual full match disconnects with no penalty.

    They typically don't add up to anything, but I take it as incentive that BHVR doesn't want people playing, so I log off and play something else for the rest of the day.

    If the server disconnects everyone (which you can see), then you will not get a DC penalty. I want someone to post a video showing the post-match screen with everyone showing as disconnected and then after exiting the post-match screen showing that you have a DC penalty. Until someone can show this actually happening, I will continue to believe that it's a problem with your own connection or system.
