You shouldn't get a penalty if your game crashes
Why do I get penalized if my game randomly decides to crash midgame?
At least make it so you don't get a penalty if you send a crash report.

The system can't differentiate between someone legit having a network issue, BHVRs system flaking out, and someone turning off their internet intentionally to drop a game.
So everything is treated the same with this ass abandon system in place.
I don't think your game crashes when your internet shuts off, you just get sent to the title screen. I'm talking about when your whole game crashes and you end up on Steam with the crash report window opening up.
Either way, the game cant tell the difference on WHY you disconnected from its servers.
This, the problem is the abandon system is EXTREMELY unforgiving and is designed to force players to play against opponents that they don't want to, rather than giving people an option or the needed out if the game crashes or you lose connection.
If your game crashes, we're no longer talking about what the player WANTS and the quality of the match. Theres no room for discussing options to leave if you have a power outage or something.
There is no way this couldn’t be abused. People will find easy ways to make it look like a crash and DC from any match they want. Also, keep in mind that you don’t get a DC penalty for an occasional crash. That’s why you get a freebie for your first one. So, if you are getting timeout penalties, either you are disconnecting on purpose from other matches or you have unresolved system issues that you need to fix before you play the game. Even if you are not intentionally disconnecting, you’re still ruining other people’s matches if you have stability issues and the DC penalty system is intended to get you to fix your issues before playing again.
You shouldn't be punished for something that happens outside your control, but as many have already said, the system can't tell the difference. It sucks, but that's how it is.
Like it sucks that it crashes but should you not try to find the reason why it does that. Most people don't have crashing issues with this game to my knowledge or it would be visible in the bug reports. Like its hard to believe its the game when there has not been really anybody else recently saying the game crashes for them.
None of the consoles can send in a crash report nor include logs, so how could they use this suggestion?
