Quitting MP post-game maintains connection and shows infinite loading screen

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Report: Quitting the game in ANY post-game multiplayer screen doesn't actually quit. Connection with the server is maintained, while a loading screen is shown untill the user gets disconnected from the server for being idle too long. Workaround 1: Since connection with the server is maintained, the user gets disconnected automatically during 'loading' after reamining idle for too long. Waiting untill the server idle time is exceeded kicks the user out of the loading screen and back to the main menu automatically. Workaround 2: Quit the game by sending a kill signal to the process (i.e. alt+f4 on windows, or through the process manager), and then reboot the game. Additional info: Windows version: Windows 7 Professional with SP1 CPU: i7-3770K @ 3,50 Ghz HDD: Western Digital Green
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Finish a multiplayer game 2. Click on the quit button 3. The game will show an infinite loading screen, either until the user forces the game to quit or the idle time gets exceeded and the user gets kicked out of the screen and back to the main menu. Note: This issue is most likely hardware-specific, since I cannot find a lot of info on this topic from other users online (i.e. forums, reddit etc.)
What happens when the bug occurs? The game enters a black screen while displaying the loading symbol. However, the user gets kicked back to the main menu after a while for being idle to long, suggesting that the connection with the server is never terminated.

In what game mode did the bug occur? Conquest

This bug had occurred 100% of the time since I started playing. Seems to be system-specific, i.e. not everyone is affected. 
Note: happens in every multiplayer variant I've played, apart from operations.

    I have noticed this happening a couple of times myself. I'll usually let the next map load then choose to quit out as soon as the map loads. 

    My personal guess is that if you choose to quit just a moment too late the load for the next zone has started, which puts the game in the bad state you describe. 

    Thanks for the post.
