Today, around 11:10AM 2/6/21
This has happened to me several times over the past couple of months. Prior to that, I rarely ever experienced random disconnects. It was pretty bad about two weeks ago and I thought I was free from it, but it happened again today as soon as I finished the last generator. I was up against a Nurse and she was coming my way after doing the last gen. I was injured so I tried to get in a locker to hide. That was the catalyst right there, trying to interact with something. That's how it usually happens. Whether it's slow vaulting a window, pallet, or going into a locker. The majority of times for me has been when I'm crawling through a window. The game will freeze and I might be able to look around momentarily before it disconnects me and sends me back to the loading screen. It will let me say 'continue' and load up the lobby, but there's no menu information, just a blank smoky screen with no killer character on it or options to take you to another screen. So I have to restart the whole game and by the time I get back, it shows that I have a DC penalty. It's of course frustrating because I have never intentionally disconnected before. I always try to stick the match out in hopes I'll get lucky or whatever. There was even a day where this happened three separate times and it landed me with a 12 minute DC penalty. I'm hoping the cause of the issue is being investigated because it makes the game not so fun when you lose all of your progress for that match and it happens at random. On top of that, (if you're playing survivor) it hurts your team and they often message me wondering why I DC'd and I have to explain that the game dipped on me yet again and apologize for ruining their game too. Sometimes, even the killer will message me wondering what they did wrong and I have to reassure them too that it wasn't them.
It's most definitely not my internet because I don't lose connection on any of my other devices and I'm always able to immediately reload the game without any other issues. So it has to be the game and it's always when an interaction is being attempted with (usually) an inanimate object. Once, it was when I was attempting to unhook someone. Something about interactions makes the game short circuit, kick people out, and dump a DC penalty on them despite having done no wrong. Hoping this will get figured out/fixed in near future.
