replying to myself with a solution:
after contacting EA help, they sent me instructions to delete the game data and download it again, or delete my saved game and start a new game, but i didn't want to do that and lose all progress (it's the last stage!)
so i tried to mess around with the options inside the game and i think i found a combination that works:
1- disable Game Assists completely (slow mo mode never worked for me anyway??)
2- Disable usage information reports inside the game (i forget what it's called exactly, it's an option to send the developer information on your gameplay, i think it's labeled "network connection" or something)
3- i don't know if it contributed to resolving the bug but i played as a single player. player 2 only logged on and took control of the other character only after the next check point.
i hope this helps whoever stumbles on this bug like i did, and if anyone finds another solution please post it here for future reference, as it seems there are no conversations or solutions on the internet about this exact bug!
