The new disconnect punishment system
I’ve got some concerns about the new disconnect punishment system, mainly if the system can recognise whether the disconnect was on purpose or your game crashing.
Will it punish you for something you have no control over?
Lets hope not

It's unlikely for crashes because it's the game's fault.
@NMCKE
But the question is: How should the devs be able to detect whether it was a game crash or somebody intentionally ending the game (as long as the player doesn't leave via the menu)?
O.o as it's a % don't DC and it won't matter?
@NoShinyPony
If our human body can warn us that something is wrong with us, then the game should know there is something wrong with itself. For example, there's still a bug that kicks everyone from the game when the killer M1 someone.
It shouldn't be to harsh for a one off if your power cuts out or a serious emergency buy if you disconnect twice or more it is your own fault.
If you are dcing all the time because of your isp you need a new one.
PS the mobile version of these forums are terrible and laggy now. Ew. Jesus. Fix it.
What about the bugs that make your game crash, like the plague one when you puke on stuff after hooking the last survivor is that my fault?
Will the game know the difference between a unintentional dc? That’s what I wanna know
I think they can see what the player was doing when they DCed.
@NMCKE I'm afraid it's not that easy. Other video game companies have this problem as well.
