starting Heroes vs Villains with 3 players instead of 4 (=2v1 fight instead of 2

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug starting first round of Heroes Showdown with 3 players instead of 4 (=2v1 fight instead of 2v2)
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name?
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 05/09/2020
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Hero Showdown
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? playing Heroes Showdown on Origin-PC I guess
What happens when the bug occurs? This bug happened to me several times: when playing Heroes Showdown , even though we are actually 4 players, only 3 of the players are actually playing (ie the 4th player has to wait and watch the game) which is super unfair since one player has to play alone against 2 or to win two 1v1 battles alone to win. This only happens for the first round of a game, then the game goes normal (all players can play)
What do you expect to see?
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

‌

This bug is really annoying because the fourth player has to wait the end of the first unfair round to play and his partner is alone against 2 other players for the first round. So winning the game loses its sense when you start like that.

    @Naoecla 
    I've just answered your report about the round ending prematurely, but by checking this report here now I'm sure you're referring to Hero Showdown in both reports. Hero Showdown is the 2v2 mode you're referring to. Heroes Vs. Villains is a 4v4 mode with no rounds whatsoever, whichever team has 35 deaths first loses.

    Now, addressing the issue you're reporting here, this can happen in 1 of 2 ways:

    1st - Both teams have 1 player each, which will make the countdown run, and if a player joins the game as soon as the countdown is over, the match will start as 2v1;

    2nd - Both teams are full, however one player is still in the loading screen, even though he already appears in the lobby for the other players. The game thinks the player has already fully loaded, but that isn't the case. Due to that, that player can't spawn, so the game just doesn't give any character to him, and the match starts 2v1.

    I'm very familiar with the second case because my PC is a potato and my loading time is too long. More often then not the first round of Hero Showdown starts with me as an spectator and my teammate having to face 2 enemies alone. There's nothing one can do about this except getting a better loading time for the one who struggles to load this game.
