Question about dedicated servers

If your game crashes or loses connection for some reason, will you be able to reconnect to that game?

    How would you envision this working from a gameplay standpoint? Cause disconnecting then reconnecting could be abused depending on what happens to your character when you DC.

    I can't see how it could be abused. Your character would stay still until you reconnect, and if you don't, your character disappears. I can't see any problems here.

    Yep that is one option. I asked the question "what happens to your character when you DC." though. For example what if your character just leaves the game or falls to the ground like it currently does. Then you rejoin and pop back up. This could be abused.

    If it were to be the method you mention. Would the survivor just die instantly if they were disconnected and not there to struggle for their second hook? Does this method of having their uncontrolled character still be interactable give the killer an unfair advantage? The survivors have essentially lost a teammate, but the killer can easily get downs/hooks to proc their perks.

    It's not such an easy decision as "they just reconnect 4head"
