There is obviously an issue with their detection system.. today I had a tunnelling Bubba when I was playing survivor, I was out of the match in 3 minutes… I was looping (to the best of my poor ability), I was wiggling while being carried, and I was hitting the skill checks when I got on second hook. He got me a 3rd time.. not far from a hook, no other survivors close, so no I did not wiggle, there was no chance of getting loose… I went down an entire grade. I posted a video of the last DC and the whole match with the tunnelling Bubba on TikTok (GrimorieGranny) - it is clear in both videos I did nothing wrong… other than play badly at survivor and trying to be nice on killer.

No, from a technological viewpoint it is impossible to, for example, differentiate between a power outage on your end or you simply turning off your router/wifi.
The signal the server is expecting is simply going dark and the game Client Software isn't made to verify why.
The ONLY things that would work is either when the client crashes on your end and the software takes note of that and sends a report or the server has problems and has diagnostics for that and would revoke the DC penalty in that case.
Well every time it happens, I get the error, click okay and I go to the main screen, not back to the lobby screen.. so that should say something right there. I don't crash to desktop and the whole game is not closed.

hi NanaSynn
first of all, it's actually really heartwarming to hear that you're enjoying DBD in your 60's. thank you for brightening my day just a little bit <3
my suggestion, "remove all crow progress from all survivors when a survivor is hooked", would have come in clutch in the situation you're describing!
one of the most common things i've seen in the videos that people have shown is that, most of the time, these crows are popping up when there's a survivor on the hook, and thus the person playing has left their generator. from the situation you're describing, your video sounds like it goes about the same way, and that the reason you got the crow is because your teammate got the unhook before you did.
i don't think that this is "afk" gameplay by any means. i think that you were doing the best you could, and the decisions you made sound like they were made to benefit your teammates above all else.
i think that the crows, as they are, are a great help for a killer who's struggling to find survivors that are spending too much time away from generators. but once someone goes on a hook, i'd like it if the developers would consider that this killer - at least for the time being - no longer needs the extra help.
thanks for telling me your story, it's a real help and describes exactly the kind of situation that my suggestion would have helped with.
Not sure if I am allowed to do this.. let's hope it is okay since it is in the forum topic… but check out this reply from a community manager.. this might be the good news we are looking for.

Hey there folks. Both in this thread and across the others that have popped up over the last few days, we've appreciated reading your thoughts and ideas regarding the AFK Crows feature, and want to thank everyone who took the time to share their gameplay - both in text and video! It's been very helpful to see your experiences with these AFK penalties while playing the game normally.
Our design team have looked at the information carefully and they do see that this system is a bit too aggressive. Hotfix 1, which is planned for Thursday of next week, will have a few adjustments to the timings that drive this feature so that the Crows do not appear during the course of normal gameplay. This will include:
-We are extending the Grace Period before AFK points begin accumulating
-We are extending the interval and rate points accrue and decay
-We're slowing down the speed you get AFK points while moving and after the Exit Gates have been powered
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and experiences with this feature! We really value it and, at the end of the day, we want to make sure you have a blast with this game we all love.

I think the entire timer needs tweaking. I posted this reply in another suggestion post. I am not a looper. I am a 60 year who enjoys the game and agreed it needed something done about afk'er especially the locker hopper. However because I cannot loop and if I get found or chased by the killer I am usually going dowm, I tend to stick to generator, unhooks and heals..
I was in match that one was hooked in basement clear on other side of map, another was downed and being carried to basement (I was heading to a new gen) I decided to book it to the basement to try and save.. came across someone else heading there to but kept going since two were hooked and someone may need a protection hit.. with just 1 crouch on the way when I was in terror radius.. I got there and the other person got both unhooks (second one barely before me) so leave, one crouch as I leave killer shack.. and then a crow.. start running for gen.. start working on gen and actually got a second crow while working on gen..I was actively participating the entire match.. distance to point A & point B with staying out of killers view by crouching a couple times took too long.. I was penalized for not playing recklessly. I have video of this whole thing but can't post here.
