BF4 Premium not recognized? [PC]
I bought BF4 Premium and of course something has to go wrong right? I can never just buy a game with EA and expect it to work. Anyways.
I downloaded and installed the patches and updates and all that stuff it asked me too when I bought Premium. But when I open my browser and try to join a Second Assualt or China Rising map I get a pop up telling me I have to download and install the expansion. Which I already have. I can still join regular maps but anything that has to do with the expansions I can't do. Tried to join a server that my friend was in that was Second Assualt and I keep getting the pop up.
And of course EA's Contact-us chat-line is down at the moment so I'm **** out of luck unless someone here can hopefully help me.
I'm on PC not console by the way. Thanks in advance.
