AGE OF THE REPUBLIC - players cannot spawn

It's weird that there is no post about this here, given the fact that players have been talking about it a lot during the games i played on different game modes.

Recently I've noticed there are some issues with age of republic maps.  I am not sure this is a known issue or not but i never encountered it in my 4 months of playing this game until now.

First time it happened yesterday on Naboo, second time was on Geonosis when the second phase started.

Only a few players can spawn, like 5 or 6 as far as i noticed, rest of the team is stuck in character selection menu and you cannot press ESC either, to bring up game menu in order to quit the game, only way is to ALT F4 or end process in task manager.

Another thing i noticed is that when players leave others join the same glitched game and they cant spawn as well, so issue persists for as long as the lobby is maintained alive. Only way to kill it is if they would all leave, but it takes a long time until it happenes.

After leaving the game, match making would still put me in the same glitched lobby, you can only avoid it by cancelling when you see name of the map brought up, and queuing again until you find a different lobby.

I play on EU region.
