Added by:	Anonymous on April 9, '26

Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play any killer
2. Play normally
3. Use their power
4. Randomly the game will lag and you'll be disconnected

Explanation

In the middle of a match, I will perform a killer power/hit a survivor/or just play the game as usual, then everything will lag to the point where I can still walk around for around 10 seconds, but if I hit a survivor/use my power/or do anything special other than walking around, I won't be able do down them/get stuck in animation/or stutter, until the game states that it had lost connection with the main host server and disconnects me. This happened three separate times on 04/07/2026 while playing three separate killers. (Ghostface, Freddy Kruger, and DND Vecna) If this was the only issue, I wouldn't be making this report, the problem is once I get back to the lobby to cue into matchmaking again, it gives me a ban because the game believes I disconnected from the match myself even though the game booted me out. It started with just five minutes, but now it's given me a fifteen minute ban. I want to make this report before it gets worse. If other players are experiencing this, there will be way too many waiting bans.
