Weather the Storm data disk freezes the game

So I have been trying to finish normal conquest in order to get access to hard next run, and I was extremely close, only a few nodes away from sector 5. And then R2 happened. I am using the “Weather the Storm” datadisk because I always get wrecked in sector 5 during the opening, but apparently when R2 tries to AOE and you have damage and debuff immunity, he just chooses to despawn. This has also occurred with Darth Revan’s AOE but at least he eventually used his second special so I managed to get through that one after wasting some energy. However, this node is eating up all my energy for nothing and I’m going to be very upset if this bug is the reason can’t do hard conquest next month. I would really appreciate if this was fixed asap and my lost energy was returned. Also got some recordings and screenshots below.

We saw this issue in the past but couldn't reproduce it consistently on our end

I have the same issue with current conquest going, data disks that I use are included in the video, one of them being weather the storm data disk. Basically the round starts, it comes to r2-d2's turn and he vanishes, and the game does not continue. 

Also freezes the game against other teams e.g. easy sector 4 imperial team with vader. Also had it happen with other teams but can't remember which.
