There should be a timer that forcibly ends the match

[Medican]

Yes, I'm aware that there's already a bleed-out timer that forcibly kills all remaining victims, however, I think there should be another timer that forcibly shuts down the lobby like 2-3 minutes after that happens. Why? Well, I just had a game where one victim disconnected at the very start. However, the game thought they are still alive so even after killing everyone else, the game simply never ended so we were forced to disconnect and lose all progress.

That doesnt require a timer, just requires the match to end if there are no active victims in the match

You already get kicked for being idle for too long, however since this player wasn't on the map, he couldn't get kicked. That's why a timer is necessary

Just get Grandpa to Level 5 and you will have seen where they are?

We had grandpa on level 5 for around 10 minutes. The victim's body simply despawned. That's why the match never ended.

oh dang, didn't know the physical body would despawn aswell. I've seen a couple disconnects just standing in place where ever they quit. That's rough

Yeah, that's what I was counting on as well. I went around the entire map while checking every singe hiding spot to no avail. I was even swinging around in both victim spawn rooms in case his body became invisible for some reason but found nothing.

I think is better if they fix that bug instead of adding another timer, lol

I would, of course, like that as well, lol but I think a timer would kill 2 birds with one stone. It's a temporary fix for this problem and it also prevents cheaters from holding people hostage in the match until they disconnect.
I'm not comparing this game to DBD, but I remember like a year back, there was a big problem in the game where cheaters would hook themselves for an infinite amount of time which made the match last forever, forcing the killer to disconnect. It was obviously mostly done to streamers. Now, with all the goofy stuff cheaters can already do in this game, I don't think it would take them long to figure out how to do this as well.
