HVV Character Selection Spawn Glitch

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug In HVV, when you get killed, you can either wait 10 seconds to respawn or go back to the character selection screen and spawn back in after 6 seconds (when the timer hits 24). If you press X (or A) to go to the character select screen, it will sometimes say “starting as random hero.” Four character boxes will be blacked out, and the game acts as if your previous character is still in play by someone else. If I, for example, choose Rey, then die as Rey, and go to the character select screen, this will appear. It usually doesn’t happen until after the 2nd or 3rd death. I’ve noticed that this is less likely to occur if you play as Luke Skywalker. This is an issue because I might want to continue playing as Rey, but change my star cards mid-game. If I have to select another character, there is a chance that Rey could be taken from me by a teammate.

Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug?
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play HVV. Select a character of your choosing (avoid Luke Skywalker). Play as that character and die 2+ times—this may take a few tries to activate the bug, but sometimes it happens after the first death. Each time you die, press the X or A button (console depending) to get to the character select screen before the 10-second spawn timer runs up. It should then say “starting as random hero” at the top of the screen.
What happens when the bug occurs? You are unable to play as the character you chose at the beginning of the match.
What do you expect to see? I would like to be able to finish a match with the character I chose at the beginning of the match.

First Noticed The Issue: On 5/27/2019. Around the time DICE last manipulated the spawn timer in HVV down to 6 seconds while trying to balance HVV after the change from the target mode to the 35/35 life mode. As soon as this change went live, the problems started to occur. This never occurred prior to this date. Proof of the change can be seen in Ben Walke’s tweet here: https://twitter.com/benwalke/status/1132933702776963072?s=21

Steps to Reproduce: Play HVV. Select a character of your choosing (avoid Luke Skywalker). Play as that character and die 2+ times—this may take a few tries to activate the bug, but sometimes it happens after the first death. Each time you die, press the X or A button (console depending) to get to the character select screen before the 10-second spawn timer runs up. It should then say “starting as random hero” at the top of the screen.
