Reported for:	Forefront - v4.0.153 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Join an ongoing match.
2. Create a new Squad mid-game and invite others
3. Close the Squad.
4. Complete the match and wait for the map rotation.
5. The Squad automatically unlocks, disbands, and players are separated or scrambled into opposing teams.

Explanation

In-game created Squads disband after map change

Squads created in the lobby work as intended and persist through map changes and custom games. However, if a Squad is created during a match and locked/closed, the system fails upon map transition:

The Squad automatically unlocks after the map change.

Team members are removed from the Squad / the party disbands.

Players are often shuffled into opposing teams on the next map.

Expected Bbehavior:
Mid-match created Squads should stay locked, persist across map rotations, and keep all members on the same team (just like lobby-created Squads).
