Custom arcade issue after September update

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Today, I tried out the new update in a match of custom arcade. The first match was fine, however when I wanted to play again a bug occured. I was playing onslaught with the settings adjusted so that I could only choose heroes or special units to play as (see screenshot for all used settings). When I finished the match and clicked on the "play again" button the new match started, however I was unable to choose a character and spawned in directly as a assault trooper. Apparently, it does not matter which character you choose or which settings you are using, because the assault trooper was not even an option with the settings I applied for custom arcade.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play custom arcade on the settings that can be seen in the screenshot below (it would likely work on other settings as well) and play a match and click the "play again" button. The next match will start, however you are unable to choose your hero/villain and will directly be assigned to the assault class. All other settings remain similar to the previous match.
What happens when the bug occurs? The next match will start, however you are unable to choose your hero/villain and will directly be assigned to the assault class. All other settings remain similar to the previous match.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see custom arcade working again as it was before the new update was deployed.

  • Here is a video I made showcasing the issue, along with the short summary of the issue, it may help @EA_Ataashi and the team in reproduction.

    Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9t-uRza8dE&feature=youtu.be

    Short summary : This issue occurs after selecting "Play again" upon finishing a match in Arcade (affecting both Custom Arcade and Battle scenarios). When player selects "Play again", he/she will automatically spawn as Assault class after loading (even when match allows only Heroes)  and the game completely skips Character select menu. The described issue happens only on first spawn after selecting "Play again", if player dies during the match he/she can normally respawn by selecting class or character in the "Character select" menu.

    This issue happens 100% of the time in the described conditions.

    When is it getting fixed, EA?
  • This also happened with me two days ago on xbox one. I played a battle scenario with only heroes, but when I played again, I spawned as an assault. The same happened with other battle scenario's.

  • This bug has been fixed with the deployment of the General Grievous update.
