Oddly enough, this stopped happening to me. I wish I had some fix to share, but nothing about my internet changed as far as I know, made no adjustments other than what I had already tried several times (cache clearing, port forwarding, etc.) - and seemingly no revelations in all my messages with support. It's possible that…

Last day of event and bloodrush and my first match of the day ends like this. Getting harder and harder to remain a fan of this game. All I can do is keep expressing how disappointed I am. The game is close to being literally unplayable for anyone that has this issue and we've gotten no actual word on whether they even…

Sucks so much to have this happen in an intense match where all players are giving their all and it's a close game. Also sucks that I lose items and de-pip because of it on top of the penalties and wasted time. I just want to be able to play the game. I don't even know if anyone at BHVR cares about this issue. I just don't…

Is it accompanied by the "Dedicated Server is not responding; disconnecting..." error message? I started a thread on that issue a bit before the event, which has been marked as "under review" for a while now. No indication of whether anything is actually being done about it though.…

Ridiculous that this is still going on. I've been unable to enjoy the event with this continually happening. It happened several times last week and I opted to take a break to avoid lengthening penalties. Decided to hop on for some matches today and of course I just end up disappointed once again. Feels like by the time…

Just going to keep sharing clips at this point. Really hope we get some news about this after the weekend because I'm pretty disappointed and irritated that our ability to play during the anniversary event is hindered. Instead of continuing to play I just have to log off for the day to avoid higher penalties.

I'd just like to note that this error even occurs while playing in customs versus a lobby of bots. Video below. Just had it happen again in a public match as well and am pretty upset that the server issues are going to ruin my first time playing during an anniversary event.

Here is another example of mine where you can see the server stop responding after a teammate got unhooked in the HUD. I'm on PS5 so I can't upload .log files from games where the error occurs, but if any PC players in the thread can do so I'm thinking that might be helpful for devs to review? There's instructions in the…

I've also gone back and forth with support for months and they just continually either repeat troubleshooting suggestions I've already tried, or say they're looking into it or investigating "my case", but can provide no timeline. With no acknowledgement from BHVR, I really fear that the issue will be ignored and that all…

I messaged a player I was in match with today, and even though it shows a disconnect icon next to every player in the endgame lobby, no one else aside from me was kicked from the match.

Happened again. Canceled using my power, realized I had no prompt to use it again and then the match ended with same "Dedicated server is not responding..." message. Once again, endgame lobby shows everyone as having disconnected. This time I also included extra footage showing that I received a DC penalty for it.

Since some of us may be receiving different error messages now, I started a thread specifically for the "Dedicated Server is not responding..." error. I'm going to try to make it difficult to ignore and upload a clip in the comments every time the error occurs. Linked here:…

Here is another example of the "Dedicated server is not responding..." error I just experienced while playing survivor. This example also shows a disconnection icon for every player in the endgame lobby, like @Malkhrim described. Needs fix ASAP, please acknowledge.

UPDATE: With the latest update, the issue is still occurring, but it now says "Disconnected" with the error message "Dedicated server is not responding; disconnecting..." Still gives a DC penalty as usual.

Continues to ruin games on a daily basis. Sick of this issue and sick of complaining about it with no acknowledgement from BHVR. They go on and on about listening to the community yet they don't acknowledge a thread on their bug reporting forum with over 100 comments. And I'm the type of person who usually plays devil's…

Still happening on a regular basis.

Same here. The thread I linked below is about this issue, has been happening to a decent number of players for a while now but BHVR hasn’t publicly acknowledged the issue as of yet. Here’s to hoping they deal with whatever is causing it before the anniversary event.…

Yeah I mean if it is account related I would hope it's still something they are en route to fix. I've had the same issue on an alt account, but I'm on PS5 so even if I play with a different user account it's still using the PS+ subscription I pay for on my main account to enable online multiplayer.

Well thanks to both of you guys for continuing to reach out to support about this. If Eisenbuns' message doesn't get some acknowledgement I don't know what will. At least they responded to nopuzzles by actually admitting that it's an issue they're working on instead of the usual troubleshooting suggestions. Really hoping…

Thanks for that info, I’ll give it a shot later this evening and edit this comment if I get DC’ed. It’s hard not to be skeptical at this point but I don’t remember having this issue before the mid chapter update for Forged in Fog in late January so it definitely seems worth a try. EDIT: Like eisenbuns, I was still…

I’m hoping the reason for this change is related to the reports of this issue. Maybe they will better be able to troubleshoot on their end if players can specify which sort of connection error is occurring. If that enables them to fix it, or at the very least make it so the penalty system doesn’t punish players for server…

Curious about this snippet from the recent PTB patch notes in regards to this issue. Doesn’t sound promising in terms of a fix but I am assuming it will now say something other than “Disconnected from Host”

The suggestion to monitor internet/console is pretty laughable when this is something that ONLY happens with DBD. Pretty sure they just don’t want to outright admit that it’s a problem that they are aware of but don’t know how to fix, because that’s a pretty unacceptable outcome. Personally I would at least respect the…

Disappointing to hear that they’re still recommending all the troubleshooting that doesn’t work and suggesting it’s on the player’s end. Several of us have done everything that support recommended and at this point there’s no excuse to continue having people waste their time like that. Pretty disingenuous on their part. I…

Yeah I went back and forth with BHVR support for weeks and tried all the troubleshooting that they recommended on my end but none of it worked. It has to be an issue with the game itself or servers and it seems they either can’t identify what’s causing it or how to fix it. Anything you say to BHVR support about the DC…

I’m on PS5 and also had no issue for ~2-3 days but it happened again last night 😢

Still happening

I would wait and see, it could be a coincidence - sometimes I am able to play a series of games without the issue only to suddenly have it happen 4-5 times shortly after. It can’t just be a steam issue because people in this thread have reported having the issue on PS5, PS4, Xbox, and Switch. It’s possible that BHVR could…

Yeah it has happened to me on killer and survivor with various things seeming to trigger it (health or hook state change, picking up a survivor, etc.) what you described has happened to me on several killers, where I am using/charging their power, then get stuck in the animation and realize I can’t do anything. Then it’s…

Thanks for expressing your appreciation! It feels like we could potentially be getting somewhere, because I am also on East Coast US servers and am in the tri-state area. If internet exchange points are indeed the issue then our locations being relatively close probably isn't a coincidence. Also wouldn't be surprised if it…

I’ve seen this suggested on troubleshooting pages before, it can’t be the cause. People have this issue on PC, Xbox, PS, and switch. I’ve gone through a lengthy troubleshooting process with BHVR support and none of the fixes that were suggested on my end worked. It has to be an issue within the game itself or the servers.…

As for not getting fully healed, I don’t think Reactive Healing can ever fully heal you by itself because it heals “50% of missing healing progression”. The wording can be a bit misleading, but I believe if you are already 50% healed, Reactive Healing will then only heal 50% of the remaining progress, bringing you to 75%.…

I am sharing the conclusion of my emails with support below. Not entirely sure what to make of it but I’m sharing just so everyone can see what they had to say after repeatedly having me try troubleshooting that didn’t work, and suggesting I reach out to my ISP and Sony. Hard to say for sure but I hope they really are…

It is indeed very frustrating. What’s even more frustrating is that a thread claiming Off the Record is broken with no explanation or details (probably just a person who performed a conspicuous action) gets a Dev response and this thread has gotten zero acknowledgement. At least tell us that BHVR is aware of the issue…

Here's to hoping it works, I'm trying now - I'll post another comment if I get disconnected. _ Edit: It did not fix the issue. I just got kicked mid match once again with "Disconnected from Host" error while playing killer.

Well, I went through Sony’s support just to exhaust everything that BHVR support has told me to try. They suggested port forwarding, which I had already tried. Sony said to contact the publisher of the game that is giving me issues (big surprise) because some multiplayer games may require additional reports to be opened. I…

Ignore this comment I accidentally posted a duplicate bc my previous comment didn’t show up initially.

Yeah, I’ve gotten to 24h before because of the error as well and just had to take a break to reset it. Support has a highly scripted response when you ask them about penalties in any way, even if it’s related to this server issue that is forcing disconnection from host. Mine is back up to 30 minutes and I just stop playing…

I don’t think it has anything at all to do with the DDoSing that streamers were experiencing. Primarily because I discovered the same error also occurs in custom games while playing against bots. I am leaning towards it being a server issue. As others have said, it happens sometimes when a health state changes, but I’ve…

Yeah I noticed PWYF randomly lighting up and then going into cooldown without accumulating any stacks when I was playing Sadako. Didn’t realize it was coinciding with undetectable.

It is indeed still happening after the bug fix patch. This needs to be acknowledged ASAP. It is entirely unacceptable that I have bought characters and cosmetics for this game and it is basically unplayable because of this error and the resulting penalties. I am frankly disgusted with how support continues attempting to…

I’m gonna lose hope if the bug fix patch tomorrow doesn’t address this. Happens every single day. Absolutely sick of having my games being interrupted and getting penalties from this garbage.

I have the same issue on PS5. Game suddenly bugs in some way and then I get loading screen and ”Disconnection from Host” error message. At the worst I ended up with a 24h penalty less than 5 minutes into my first match of the day. My internet remains fine throughout and I have a wired connection and good ping. This error…

Have had the same issue on PS5 recently, have had it happen while playing survivor as well. I also was afraid to queue and risk higher DC penalty, so I played against bots in some custom games - same issue occurred several times while playing against the bots.
