D/C killers on PS4 is a huge problem
3 matches in a roll. First killer rage quit cuz his ruin got taken out in the first minute, 2nd killer rage quit cuz no one would farm with him, 3rd killer rage quit was an Oni who got mad I ran him for three gens.
Anyone seen an increase in D/C lately?

I don't think DCing is okay, but the more I play killer on PS4, the more I understand the urge to just quit. The frame drops, the dark maps, the way killer powers translate poorly between M+KB and controller...
I think there are a lot of people forcing themselves to still try to play this game and giving up. That's the feeling I'm getting from the way matches have been going lately on PS4.

Fair enough. I play both sides evenly and can get triggered too. If the match isn't going well, I just go and do something else until the match is done. Problem I have with it is killer can get into a match instantly while survivors times finding a match is a lot longer which is frustrating when doing challenges.

It's hard on console, even for survivors. Take a hit so the game hangs and run you into a wall, letting killer get second free hit. I get a lot of DC killers too, but survivors are also bad. Found first = DC for some reason, as if you can't be pulled off a hook during he first few minutes of the game. I'll come save you, don't worry! Plenty of games I'm on death hook after first few minutes only to either escape or last a while and make some great plays for team.

Killers getting a match instantly suggests that not nearly enough people are playing killer, and there aren't enough playing killer because it can be so ridiculously frustrating on console. The same reason survivor queue times are so long is the same reason killers are DCing. It's not your fault, it's just the way the game is. The unfortunate thing is that if things keep going the way they are, the problem is only going to get worse. If the issues that cause killers to quit aren't fixed before dedicated servers go live on console (whenever that may be), the possibilities are 1. survivor queue times will become absurdly long, or 2. there'll be a huge rise in the number of killers who go AFK mid-match.
I play both sides about equally as well. Survivor isn't always fun, but it's not as stressful as killer, that's for sure.

I don't see as many as you do. But...it's annoying when they happen

I've still been getting DC's every match on PC. It actually seems worse now than before.

Console optimization needs to happen FAST. I normally play PC but I occasionally play the PS4 version as I have some friends on there and oh my lord, it gets worse and worse every update. Frame drops, blood lust causing your frames to dip to 0 when it activates, auto aim screwing killers over, long queue times, Doctor and Demogorgon gameplay at 15 fps, poor sensitivity, Toxicity, etc etc. If anyone remembers that survey they did a month ago asking if cross platform would be a good idea I was so hyped only to then realise how awful it would be to play a crappy port of dbd that stutters below 30fps against a PC player who sits at a solid 60fps. Consoles need love too and honestly my mates have almost given up on the game saying that it feels like the devs don't care about the console players and that it's frustrating having to deal with the horrendous frame drops. Sadly for now they are having to make do, not everyone can afford a gaming PC so they have to deal with a poopy port. :(

Not on console if I'm not mistaken. It needs dedicated servers.

I played a lot as survivor lately for the archives and got only one killer DC.
I see many more survivors DC (like one every 3 games), either when they don't want to play against this killer, or when downed at the beginning.

Oh boy, poor console users get rekt again...

Despite I would really like to see DC penalties on PS4, I don't think not having dedicated servers is a bad thing, as far as I read the forum :D
(although console users do have other problems... like frame rate drops)

Cross progression needs to happen so the console players can make a easy transition to PC, but sadly as you said many either don't have a decent computer or are just not wanting to start over from scratch.

Yep. Dedicated servers still got huge problems.
