Game Crashed - 72 hour ban? 🤦🏽

AskingForHelp

At first I made a post about a 48 hour disconnection ban in effect. Now it’s 72 hours after I patiently waited it out. 3rd match into playing dbd today and the game crashes as soon as I spawn in. Now it’s 72 hours. You can’t put a DC penalty on a game where you’re not allowed to play it or where the game can’t detect whether or not you left on purpose and adjudicate it properly as to whether or not to administer a ban to your account. Such a let down from a game I really like.

I'm not trying to sound like a d#@$ but if you DC enough times that you get slapped with a 72 hour ban, perhaps you should consider playing something else? As some have mentioned you have to DC A LOT to get to that point. I dc once in a great while and I get 5 mins. It doesn't jump from 5 mins to 42 hours in 2 DC's. The only explanation is either you DC on purpose enough times that this is the reason these penalties are in place or you genuinely crash enough times for this penalty to affect you. If that is the case then your rig or internet may need to be upgraded because if you crash legit that many times, your system must not be up to par.

I crash once a month maybe and I've never waited more than 5 mins. I'm perfectly fine with the DC penalty. IMO the only ones who want this system removed are the ones it was designed to punish.

I think he is saying that he didn't dc, but the game kept crashing. In which case, he should not be playing anyways until the issue is resolved.

Crash, DC, either way if your game isn't working don't blame the DC penalty. It's not responsible for your system.

How are you supposed to resolve the issue without testing?

well you did test enough times to this point, you should stop, make a smurf account, test it on that smurf account. or ask the devs for a test run. but most ppl would disagree about getting rid of DC penalty becuz 1 person is having issues.
