If another player chooses the same character (e.g. Alicia) as I chose, but he was quicker in the selection, then my selection cursor also remains logged in to Alicia and I am stuck, so I can not select another character anymore and the game randomly assigns a character to me when the timer has expired and the mission starts, this happened a few times in the last couple of days - this is very annoying! (PS4)

I just ran into this issue. To reiterate what B3O said, selecting the same character at the same time as someone else causes a bug where you are not assigned a character and you are locked out of choosing a character. You have to just play as whatever random character the system chooses for you.

I ran into this on PS4 - update 11.0

This happened to me too, I'm on PC.

For those unaware, this has been reported multiple times, and devs have responded they are looking into how to fix it without causing other issues.

Yesterday it happened again in the "The Beast's Lair", and the game selects Ayana for me, what a great help with this mission  .

But what's really annoying, it was my only blueprint mission. I don't normally exit missions, but this time I had to, I'm sorry for the other guys.
