Penalty due to game crash

[TERRORIST]

Why in the world is crashing so penalized? Not only does the game crash, but we have to sit through all of these intro scenes to try and reconnect, but get penalized for 15 minutes.

The simple answer. They value the importance of the 5 other people playing on your team then they do you, since there are only 1 of you and 5 of them. Keeping them happy is top priority.

Sadly this is like every team game ever.

The perspective you should ALSO be looking at is at the team who had to endure a man down because your game crashed.

How would they feel? What are the chances that they can win the match with one less person on the team? Is it fair for them if the person leaving (whether intentional or not) is not penalized?

It's a team game first and foremost.

Well no ♥♥♥♥, but it's completely the games fault that it crashes. I should not be penalized when the game shows a crash report. I try to reconnect instantly when this happens, but because the developers think it's necessary to make us wait through the annoyingly long intro scenes I get penalized. You're acting like I'm blaming my team for my game crashing when it is purely a fundamental issue with the game.

It's a case of those 5 team mates not caring how it happen, all they know is that their game is ruined and you were the cause of it. Wither it's being a crash or you disconnecting or alt+f4ing is irrelevant, their match is now ruined and that's all that matters. Since there is more of them then there are you, the Dev's will more likely listen to them far before they consider even taking your opinion.

That's just how it works

So you’re okay with players being falsely penalized for the game crashing? The game should know whether it was intentional or not because I received a crash report. I really don’t see how my post is anything more than constructive criticism. Why is there even a reconnect feature if I just get penalized when literally trying to reconnect. How about they fix their game, penalize system, and remove the useless startup cutscenes so I can reconnect to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ match.

How about you fix your computer, so you don’t force your team into a 5v6.

Ugh, yeah, that’s super frustrating... Unfortunately, the system can’t always tell the difference between someone rage-quitting and someone who genuinely crashed. So everyone gets hit with the same penalty, even when the crash wasn’t your fault.

Never said I was OK with anything, only that this is how they feel it has to be.

Second, it's because there's ways to crash games purposely to get out of matches early so they can move into new matches quicker. People do this to try and get around being penalized and because of them is probably the reason you are getting punished if it only happened a few times to you. You can thank them for this situation that they had to force their hand and make it that leaving for any reason can result in being punished for it.

The only thing you can do is see if anything is causing it on your end and reduce the chances of your game crashing. I pretty much never crash, even with this old set up I use. If I can, then I feel that it should be possible for anyone to experience it like I do with a little effort.

Mega cope. Unreal engine 5 is notorious for random crashes. I literally mentioned twice that I received an unreal engine report you numbskull. How am I the one forcing my team into a 5v6 when I am literally trying to reconnect as fast as possible?

I’m aware you’re crashing, I didn’t say you weren’t. Regardless of whether intentional or not, leaving the match means putting your team in a 5v6. Henceforth, crashing will directly hinder your team, and you should be penalized for it.
