EA Staff (Retired)Hey everyone!
Thank you for letting us know about the problem right away!
DICE is currently looking into the issues with Starfighter Assault mode. I'll try to keep you in the loop when it comes to updates in this thread.

Update - Just happened to me again approx. 13:25 hrs UK time . Played two successful games of SFA at Kamino.
Ryloth cut short in next two rounds as per previous incidents. In the lobby for next round and SFA dropped me back to main menu, without any apparent reason.
Even though we can't play a match, one of today's timed challenges is Target Acquired. Earn 5000 score in Starfighter Assault. 🤔
Happening again today. Here's a few screenshots.
I'm sure we are stuck with this bug. I won't go away until EA understand the problem, analyse it, develop a solution and release a patch update.
Two problems as I see it
1) Can EA find the cause and create a solution
2) Is it worth EA's time and effort to find a solution since their focus is less on SFA and more on other areas of the game
Sorry 🙂
Over the last week, I have observed that when the round starts early without enough players, the ticket counter at the top of the screen does not show up. If any player kills another starfighter during this time, the entire round will end. However, if ALL players wait to shoot until the ticket counter is up (which happens when enough players join and the countdown to start is complete) then the round can continue as usual. So the mode is playable if you happen to have the right number of players on each side at the start, or ALL players wait to engage until the ticket counter is up. Very frusterating!
Can we get an update on the fix?
It's been a week already and it's literally killing the game.
Today's patch notes which is probably pertinent - "Fixed an issue where a round on Starfighter Assault and Hero Showdown could begin and end without the player number criteria having been successfully met."
