Any updates on DC penalty?
So the test didn’t go well because the game was dropping people, I understand no one wants punished because DBD crashes.
But I feel like DC are worse than ever, played 6 games as survivor yesterday and only one game no one DC.
One game was a late DC I’m pretty sure it was death hook anyways so she didn’t hurt the team but did screw the killer.
The other four games had an early DC on first down, and in two of those the other teammates DC right after leaving me alone with the killer. Luckily in both cases killer was chill and let me have hatch!
Still not very exciting gameplay, only 2/6 times did I have a “real game,” or DBD. When rank 19-20 players see this we aren’t worried about new player fun anymore?

Gotta question if DbD really has that big of a crash problem to delay a DC punishment system.
Just looked over the bug report and tech support subs and seen some crash reports. The problem for certain exists, but I just don't see it being anything out of the normal. Most any game will have a % of its playerbase unable to play it or have bugs/problems due to any number of reasons. Im not denying that DbD can be a buggy mess and is prone to, lets say, not working too well.
In just saying that what crash/bug reports Iv seen here, on steam, and reddit should NEVER be an excuse to delay a DC punishment system. Crashing isn't a big enough problem from my POV. And a DC system should be able to detect crashes anyway from DCs to prevent the odd crash from giving time outs and/or bans.
Hell, you could just make clicking "leave game" and ONLY clicking that count as a proper DC and it would be enough. Cord pulling and alt+F4ing tend to be rather rare compared to just clicking a button and it filters out any/all crashes instantly.
So either Im blind and aren't seeing the full picture, or there is another reason there isn't a DC punishment system yet. DCs needed to be dealt with LONG ago and it simply ruins the game for everyone else.
I always say I don’t think they want a DC penalty because it risks losing part of the player base. Yes it would be Better for the remaining players but less people to buy DLC and cosmetics hurts their bottom line.
If the crashes are the reason we don’t get the DC penalties you would think that should priority number 1, well it should be anyways?
It’ll be a while lol they say there going to increase sensitivity well it’s been months and they have not ..look at the dc aswell same thing
