@Neil_Enbob Kind of drifting away from the real issue, the servers have occasionally been quite unstable kicking out whole squads just because some server or even the Origin client just dropped connection for a short while.
The problem is that once you disconnect, you can't rejoin regardless of what the actual cause of the disconnect is.
The characters just disappears and drop all of it's loot on the ground with no possibility to be revived or reconnecting.
Allowing people to rejoin could be exploitable. You're losing a gunfight, drop your connection, then come back into the game and respawn your teammates back into the game. Final cicle in a 1 vs 1, you lose your connection, your opponent has to wait for you to come back into the game?
It won't work in a squad based Battleroyle game. I've been playing since Monday, had no disconnects and neither has my Son who uses the same router.
How? Your character stays in the game like every other type of game of this type.
If you die while DC'd not a problem but if you don't you get to continue.
What about if you randomly disconnect, your loot is dropped because of a crash to desktop, whenever you rejoin, you just join like you were revived. No weapons or items, but still have a chance to play. And you only have a few seconds to rejoin, say 1 minute to rejoin tops.
actually it just turns into a box... Ive had people DC infront of me who just turn into boxes....
There needs to be a rejoin button tho... Im unsure why but my game crashes maybe 1 in 5 games. and i feel bad because im leaving 2 people and theres nothing i can do to stop it.
You got it wrong. If you disconnect you should stand still and be albe to be killed then if you reconnect and you didnt die ypu can play again, you're just not there so if you die they can grab your banner and respawn you or you just reconnect and play further
Works with every other battleroyale game since you dont go invincible you just stand there doing nothing which is fine by me but get booted out waiting for your mates to finish sucks
Pubg has a rejoin option and it works fine. If you disconnect you character doesn't despawn or anything you legit just stand there so it wouldnt be exploitable would put you at a great disadvantage more, At least if you disconnect your squad has the ability to protect you till you connect again :P
Works fine in PUBG sooooooo
sure but like with pubg they can let your body stand there kinda lifeless, then it cant be exploited.
It works fine in Battle Royale games. PUBG has this feature and your player just stands still and is very vulnerable. You can relaunch and rejoin on your character without issues.
I just crashed to desktop in Apex near end of game with very good loot on a game we were doing very well in. I was indoors and my team was with me, we had plenty of time for me to join back in.
Community ManagerWe'll make sure Respawn gets this discussion here. We've seen this type of suggestion mentioned on both these forums and the official subreddit, however at the moment we're not aware of any upcoming plans around implementing this. We've also seen some suggestions for a cooldown system like mentioned here
My initial concern around this is whether it could be exploited to avoid dying in a battle, however in some other games you'll have your character stand still or get taken over by a bot. While we'll make sure suggestions like this make it up to the development team to review for making improvements to the game, I think what we need to do is first fix the root cause of this: disconnections and crashes.
If you're experiencing those, I recommend using the search bar in the Technical Issues board to find solutions to help keep you in the game. We will always strive for making improvements to server stability, but for connectivity issues a one solution for all is not always possible. Everyone has different internet service providers, routers, firewall settings, hardware/wiring setups, etc. One person already mentioned in this discussion they've never really experienced a disconnection, so it could be a lot of some players and never at all for others.
Some players couldn't play with roommates and with some minor tweaks to their network it was solved. Check it out below.

Is your game crashing? We have a troubleshooting guide that includes various workaround solutions from the community. Respawn is aware of the reports we are sending them though and are committed to improving stability on the game as mentioned HERE

This is a great discussion though and we appreciates everyone's insights on this. Good luck in Kings Canyon!
