You wait 10 mins for a lobby? All mine have been under 3 mins.
Also I dont see survivors dc early as often as people are saying.
Are you guys like, all on rank 16 with a VPN keeping you from connecting or something?

Waiting 10 minutes for a lobby is the only thing that's actually about the state of the game. Players DCing is on them, period.

Do people normally d/c every single game? That does not happen to me; it is a rarity. As for wait times, they have improved for me. I used to have to wait forever, but now it takes only a couple of minutes. There's still the issue with locked lobbies that have 3 survivors, and somehow a 4th is unable to join, however.

A friend and I found a temp fix. It seems the 3 man lobbies have issues with pairs. So if its 2 friends a 3rd random, and a 4th wont connect, getting the 3rd to leave usually fixes it. Weve been stick for 5 min, asked the random to leave bc it's a bugged lobby, and them immediately get 2 new replacements.
I know its anecdotal, and probably doesnt explain the issue, but it's a pretty consistent workaround from the times weve tried it.

You should report this workaround in the Bug Report forum. Maybe it can help the devs figure out what's wrong.

Only bad players make the game bad. Behaviour should ban all this people they don't contribute in any way to the gameplay if you are teamed with them and they hinder the system.
Playing with friends or normal people is as fun as always.

Not a bad idea. We just assume others knew about it, but if it is indeed something with how the lobbies connect players, it may help. I'll write up a more thought out/eloquent post for it. I'll try to find some vid clips of us doing it as well but that may be hard with 400G of (just DBD) video saves on my ps4....lol

I've certainly never heard of it before now. Maybe the devs know about it, maybe they don't, but it never hurts to make sure.

Yeah, I guess assuming is what causes more problems haha. I'll def post it there. Thanks!

FYI on Ps4 for a couple of months it was wait in lobby 10 Plus minutes for killer to dodge the lobby. Both really suck. Makes you wonder what it is doing to the player-base.

On PS4, if you got 4 people and one leaves suddenly the lobby is bugged until someone leaves, but we don’t have ingame chat so I’m the one leaving sometimes

Not really, that is on BHVR for not pusnihing DCs

I'm starting to doubt about their Ban system... Too many DCs for even remotely think that it works.

The ban system exists and is active but it's not as strict yet as it should be.

Even if they don't willingly disconnect, there is a massive, almost majority chance that at least one survivor won't even make it into the game. Survivor is basically unplayable right now and has been for some time. I'm surprised the game is still alive.

between the load screen freeze and the in game dc it is very rare to get a normal match...

I don't see many DC's in my games. Then again, I go out of my way to not camp or tunnel. I don't care about rank either. Just fun and bp.
I know this, some of the people I knew who played (they no longer do) and would DC, often did so due to camping and tunneling. They wanted to play, chase and participate in the game, not get tunneled out right from the start. I don't blame them.
Some survivors can't stand losing, some just don't want to reward an azzhole who tunnels them to death. It is what it is.
Either way, we are losing players at an alarming rate and I'd like to see that stop. It will require a total shift by the player base and the devs.

I have to agree. The game has never been so unfun.
Gain a pip as survivor in the new awful ranking system. Lose it the next game because 2 survivors disconnect and then you can't do #########, or get tunneled and chased all game which helps the rest get the gens done but you get no unhooks or gens so you lose out. Not to mention killers just camping the first hook they get is out of control. I guess they're aware survivors NEED unhooks now so they're preying on it.
As killer you now wait 5 mins for a lobby only to be met with a 2000+hour swf with toolboxes, or 2 survivors only and the rest never join despite this talk of "the bucket".
This update just makes the game feel like a chore to play. As for the scoring system nobody liked it on the ptb yet they went ahead with it anyway.

Agreed. The game is just not fun anymore.
This new pip system is affecting my morale much more than I thought it would.

I love democracy...
Most complaints are about the matchmaking system.

And this would explain why disconnects have risen.
If pips/rank doesn't matter anymore since its stupid how the pips work then what reason to they have to not d/c?
Im not saying thats the only issue with disconnects before anyone has a dig, im just saying if their morale is low regarding rank anyway then it doesn't help.
The thing that stopped a lot disconnecting before was the road to rank 1. Now that the road seems a lot longer it's less enticing to make the effort. Especially when you gain a pip 1 match and then lose it the next because the killer camped or the survivors disconnected.

You've just been very lucky. Some days are better than others, but it is a pretty big issue.
