Game cannot matchmake after playing a match.

I am playing on PS5 and for example, after playing a casual match, if I select another mode such as Ranked or Three Strikes and start a match, it says "party members are pre-processing" and will not match. Also, if I crossplay with a PC user, I will not be matched match by match. The solution to both of these problems is to go back to the main menu, break up the party, and then re-match, and the match will happen immediately. This is obviously a bug, so please check.

Since I am Japanese, a Japanese translation is also provided below.

P.S.

If there is a change in map rotation after S20, it will stop working during processing.

私はPS5でプレイしてますが、例えばカジュアルマッチを行ったあと、ランクやスリーストライクなど他のモードを選択しマッチを開始すると「パーティーメンバーが前処理中」となりマッチングしなくなります。また、PCユーザーとクロスプレイを行うとマッチ毎にマッチングしなくなります。いずれも対処法として一度メインメニューに戻りパーティーを解散してから再マッチをするとすぐにマッチングします。これは明らかにバグだと思うので確認してください。

私は日本人なので、日本語訳も掲載します。

追伸

S20になってからマップローテーションで変化があったタイミングで「パーティーメンバーが前処理中」となります。

Playing on ps5 but can’t ready up, joins friends party or even view my friends list. I’ve tried everything online but didn’t find anything that works. The only error message I seem to get is party member pre processing. Can’t even load into firing range. I’ve already re installed,updated to no avail.

Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. In lobby
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. It happens after every game or if I wait in the lobby too long

When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Everytime I play a game.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? After joining with a squad and playing a game, upon coming back to the lobby screen, whenever I try to ready up it says "Party member pre processing" and I must leave back to the Game title screen and click back into the lobby for it to work every time.
What should be happening instead? I should be playing a match of any game mode and upon winning or losing and going back to the lobby screen, I should be able to ready up and play again instead of going back to the title screen and back into the lobby everytime to be able to ready up.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know how or why this bug is happening. It also happened on my PS4, now I am playing on my same account on my PS5 and the "party member pre processing" error still stops me from readying up.
