This “waiting for players” bug makes the game borderline unplayable sometimes

I swear I can’t play a single mission without encountering this glitch. I play by myself almost all the time and used to have no issues, but now every mission I load into solo whether I’m in a party or not I get stuck waiting for minutes for this to go away and let me start. You’d think that they would have had the system understand there’s no players to wait for, but hey, online only no single player made by EA so what can you do
