To make it so that when someone disconnects or some one application crashed that we dont get taken out of the instance or group and not treat it like we actually left.
If I understand you correctly, you want to be placed back in the same instance next time you login if you disconnect/crash? That feature is already in the game. Most likely, your group kicked you because they didn't want to wait for you to log back in.
what im saying is when ever i disconnect and comeback after a minute or so due to the game or ps4 connectoon problems id be kicked from a group or a instance even though i wasnt actually kicked.
Understood but what Seth said. There's a retention timer that lasts about 10 minutes, so if you get disconnected and reconnect within the timer, you're placed right back in the instance where you left off. If you're not getting back to the instance, that either means a) you're taking longer than the timer to reconnect, b) your group is kicking you, or c) the group finished the instance/disbanded before you had a chance to rejoin.
which is neither of these because you cant start a kick after being in a instance for 1 minute none of the other two happened.
Linkdeath is already in the game for exactly this purpose, but it doesn't work all the time. There are a few kinds of crashes still that can't seem to trigger LD correctly. Yesterday I crashed two times when trying to inspect someone and both times I didn't go linkdead and the other players had to invite me back into the instance. I've also had another crash happen lots of times where the game would crash on taking a screenshot and the same happened.
I've had lots of people disconnect when doing the t5 alerts. Have yet to see one come back before we kick and get someone else. Usually give it at least a couple minutes before someone starts the boot.
Good to know, saves me the work to report it. I was wondering if it was a one-time thing for me or if it was a global thing.
As others have said link dead already exists but it doesn't work for some people. I have tried to disconnect and reconnect the way others do to just go link dead and come back but it always kicks me from the group or the instance. I have tried going to the ps4 menu and shutting down the DCUO app without using the game menu or just plain shutting down the PS4 which are the only ways I know of to go link dead and it never works. It seems that it only works for players who rage quit so the group can be annoyed with a link dead character in instance
If the group you find again says they did not kick you they are liars as you do not get kicked from the mission unless they kicked you that's a fact. I've been in groups were others were still using the ps3 but we liked them and it would take them some times up to 5 minutes to come back and BAM there back in the mission again.
Yup, they kicked you once you disconnected. Some groups just can't wait around, other suffer to run or they were just being a $$*****. Most likely the latter but sometimes it's the former. That's PUG life.
