Battlefield 4 Premium I can't play the expansions

I just purchased Battlefield 4 Premium and downloaded the expansions, but I can't play them.  They do show up under "Show Game Details" but when I try to play one I get the "Requires an additional expansion pack."

  • it can take up to a few day's before your premium info is stored on the BF4 servers..

    this is due to the newest expansion being downloaded by lots and lots of people...

  • Here is a solution from eanils that has help many players with your problem http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/BF4-PC-China-Rising-DLC-Problem/m-p/2017595#U2017595

    Please first make a backup copy of your registry as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry#1TC=windows-7

    Next check out these steps below:

    1. Log out and fully exit Origin
    2. Open your Registry Editor - Type in regedit on the Start Menu Search field and press Enter
    3. Navigate through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > EA Games > Battlefield 4
    4. Check if there is a folder named Xpack1 under Battlefield 4
    If YES -> Click on Xpack1, on the right pane check if there is a string named Installed, the Value data should be True
    If NO - right-click on Battlefield 4 > New > Key
    - a new folder will be created, name it Xpack1
    - right-click on Xpack1 > New > String Value > name it Installed
    - on the right-pane, double-click on Installed, set Value Data to True
    5. Exit Registry Editor
    6. Log in to Origin and Join China Rising Maps

    (Do the above and replace with the following for each DLC if needed)

    Xpack0 = Second Assault
    Xpack1= China Rising

    Xpack2=Naval Strike

    Xpack3=Dragon's Teeth

    Hello,

    I have same problem as the original poster.

    I looked into registry and all keys are there.

    It simply refuses to let me play anything but vanilla.

    Thank you for your help

    Have you guys tried running a repair on your BF4 in Origin to see if the expansions are corrupted?
