What is the message you get when you DC?
Because when the Server crashes, I dont get DC-Penalties.

mkay. Strange.
Whenever I get this exact message (which is indeed the Server crashing and not anything else), I dont get a penalty.
EDIT: Or they changed that, I did not have that happen to me for quite a while.

Usually no one gets the DC penalty when the server dies,. But I have rarely gotten a penalty when getting this error message and the trail continued, as in my teammates were still playing when I got tossed. Again super rare for me.
Their DC penalty system does treat any leaving of the match the same, no matter the cause. But yeah I thought the server crashing didn't apply a penalty most of the time.

It's been happening to me lately and giving me penalties, but I've definitely had it happen before and not get one.

Is that the server crash message?
Looks to me like a time-out/signal loss, only worded from the clients perspective.
And if the server can't discern a connection loss from their side, it I'll also simply see a connection loss.
A server crash "should" have a dedicated analysis tool and remove the penalty.

Yeah, Dedicated Server not responding is the message you get when the Server is crashing and everyone gets disconnected. And apparently they added a penalty now to this, because I did not receive a penalty when this happened to me. But I did not have this error for a few weeks now, so I cannot confirm if it changed.

Whether or not you get a penalty depends entirely on if the server can tell that it is at fault. This is an unfortunate case with all online games. Many times the server cannot tell whether you unplugged your modem at your router or whether a computer in Dallas that you are connecting to BHVR through had a hiccup, or that it actually is their fault. Sometimes they can tell when it is truly their fault, but many times there is just no way to know where the problem occurred, so you have to get a penalty.

It was so weird, one time as Survivor the killer dc’d but it looked like the server kicked everyone out. Both the Killer and myself received no bloodpoints. Super weird.

I’ve gotten that same message multiple times when the server crashed. Half the time I get a penalty and the other half I don’t. I have no clue why or how their system works.

В течении недели переодически выкидывает из игры из-за проблем с интернетом (которых нет!). Мой штраф уже составил 2 дня… . Это можно как-то оспорить? Мне кажется, это не честно… .
