Anyone else experiencing frequently getting disconnected?

I was just playing Dredge and had already taken down two Survivors, with one still on the ground. Then I got blinded, and suddenly the screen froze. After a few seconds, a pop-up appeared telling me that the server had disconnected or wasn’t responding—I’m not entirely sure what the exact wording was. According to the message, I should try restarting the game. But my internet connection itself is stable. Lately, I’ve been having the situation quite often where I get disconnected before or after a match, but never during one.

When I googled it, I came across a few posts with similar issues, but those were from at least 2024. What makes this even more concerning is that several people apparently received a DC penalty for it.

So, does this still happen often?

    Happens to me all the time. Had two of them in a 10-match period the other day that counted as 0ks. Had another yesterday where I froze in place halfway through the match. That one didn't show up on the stats. It only ever seems to happen to me as killer, never as survivor.

    "The Dedicated Server is not responding" Boots you out. I can't tell you HOW many bloodpoints I have lost overtime because of DBD's Servers. The only game that I have this issue on and I can't see to find a solution.

    I even do an internet test afterwards and I sit at around 900mbs download and 30 upload, so I am not so sure its me anymore.

    If you get the "Dedicated Server not responding"-Error, this is the Server crashing, not your internet. Most frustrating times this happened to me was right at the end of a match, 2 Kills, the other 2 Survivors just escaped and during that short period of time the Server crashed on me and I got 0 BPs for the game, while everyone else got a finished match.

    If the error happens you usually see that you get 0 BPs while everyone else gets BPs. This is not the correct result, because all 5 players in the Trial see that, but it is the indicator that it was the Server crashing. It happened to me very frequently some months or years ago (maybe 2024 is the right time, since you mentioned it), but it does almonst never happen nowadays, maybe once a month or so.

    But I see people having this error nowadays as well, so I am very sure BHVR has not fixed it. But I am also sure that if that happens, it is nothing on your end, since it happened to me without any idea what might cause it and it got better without me changing anything as well.

    this has been an issue since buckle up and MFT got nerfed.

    but the problem has really risen when kaneki released.
    i understand aswell, but the burnout is sadly effecting everyone on almost all killers.

    people might say survivors will dc against anything no matter what,
    but when springtrap got released and fixed up, people almost never dc'd against him.

    it is possible to have a game where both sides have fun, its just that bhvr doesnt really care about that anymore.

    the countless killer reworks dont benefit survivors fun.
    singularity, knight, trickster,
    rarely do they consider "how would the survivor feel playing against this killer"?

    in a video game where its a 4/1 ratio of survivors v killer,
    in a video game where its supposed to be fun for everyone.

    the reason why its like this?, im clueless aswell. because killers being unfun doesnt bring bhvr anything.
