When a match is found, there is a good chance (about 50% in my case) that the game will crash with a yellow screen and an error message (see below for details). The game then returns to the title screen (the one where you can select your region). The screen is bugged -- cannot click to enter lobby, cannot press ESC to return to desktop. Must Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill r5apex.exe from Task Manager.
Started with the Season 5 update.

What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Murifantu
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? N/A
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? N/A
Where did the issue occur? Right after a match is found and the party character selection screen should be loading
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. Main Lobby, found a match, starts to load, error
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. Just found a match
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? A lot of people are experiencing this because a lot of players are disconnected at the beginning of most games
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Zero or many, doesn't matter. It has a good chance of happening whenever a match is found.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Like all the time, seriously
How often does the bug occur? More than half of "matches found" start with this error
How severe is your issue? Major impact: since the game crashes just when a match is loading, it means I skip character selection and cannot ever be jumpmaster, then by the time I reconnect to the game, it's already started. I might be dead already by the time I reconnect.
What happens when the bug occurs? Game goes to a yellow error message screen with the message: "sh_challenges.gnut #264 [UI] First parameter is not a hud element"
What should be happening instead? Party character selection screen should load
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look into the portion of your code that plays with .gnut files after a match is found.
