Hi guys, can you please add the possibility to reconnect to a game when you get disconnected.
As this has become an issue, when the game bugs out, I wish to reconnect to the game that I entered.
Thanks
With how many crashes and disconnects happening, why can't our character stay in the world long enough for a rejoin?

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with the community @Onyht.
Darko The game crashes on me from time to time and I haven't found the consistent factor yet. It would be nice to be able to rejoin a game in progress if a crash does happen. It's really frustrating to crash when you're down to the last 3 squads...
This would not work in a battle royale game if you can log off and disappear it would be easy to abuse to win if they code it so your character remains in the game but can't move thats acceptable however your most likely going to die specially if your in the 3 last squads anyway so I see where your coming from but I dont see it as a big priority, better to work on the cause making crashes
PUBG has it so that your character either stops or continues running the direction you were previously going. I would not expect the character to disappear on disconnection, just stay in place until killed or rejoin.
Reconnect / rejoin should be an option from the start.
If character is not killed he should just stand there - if downed or if you really have to change disconnected person into a box like currently so be it.
But for the love of god if I crashed let my squad recover my banner and revive me when I reconnect to the game, or just let me get back in controll of my character.
So irritating that my squad have to quit the game and re-match after every crash once of us have.Crashes are something most of the players are experiencing on pretty much a daily basis. I usually play for 3 hours and crash about 5 times per day. The times I've crashed while there were 4 or less squads and I had pretty good chances on winning are too many. It is extremely frustrating and whenever it happens I just don't play the game again at least for that day. Adding a reconnect feature will literally be life saving for everyone. The player could just stay immobile while disconnected and if the squad hasn't been eliminated be able to reconnect. Obvioulsy there should be the choice to abandon so you don't have to wait until your squad dies if you crashed early on or if you simply want to jump into another game.
I would also like a reconnect feature. I was in a match top3 we started engagement and my game froze in the middle sending my team into battle one down. More upsetting to fact that the person that gets the boot gets penalized xp wise for it. Also, penalties for people leaving before banner times out. Tks
The problem with this is the moving ring and how long it takes a player to get back, so the solution is as following:
1. if a player disconnects, let their banner be picked up
2. the players name will be yellow and not be able to be spawned back in at that time, obviously since they aren't there.
3. if the account reconnects to the game, the name can change to green, a sound effect can play, and then your team can respawn you.
