DLC maps just keeps loading for days.

Hey! 

Thank you for reading this article of mine!

Im TimoLegacy, just started playing BF4 for 2 weeks and also got premium :D 

So the problem is why can I play on normal maps, but can't I play on EVERY DLC maps? 

Anyone else has this problem? Share it with me.

Anyone else got a solution for this? SHARE IT. 

The reason why I ask this is because i'm upset, you probably know why, just imagine yourself as a gamer who desperatly wants BF4, who also bought premium, but can't play all maps, it's kinda annoying, if anyone has a solution, feel free share it with me.

  • Hi timolegacy :womanhappy:

    Did you already try this..

    Open Origin , Go to Games Right mouse click on BF4 and check for update.

  • Are you able to play on any DLC map? I ask because premium only provides access to download the maps but does not download them for you so you will not be able to play on them until you download the maps.

    If you have downloaded the maps but are still being asked to purchase them try this solution from eanils 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
    Xpack4=Final Stand

And I can't play on ANY DLC maps, but i can see the assignment that I actually have the map, When you want the AR160 you need Naval Strike (if im not wrong) I see it marked that i have it, but it keeps loading forever, please message me. 😕mileyvery-happy:

    Go to your downloads in the PS4 and see if your DLC maps have been installed or if they are waiting to install.  If they are waiting to install can you manually select to install them?

    They were already installed for days, it is like one week that I can't play the DLC maps, it gives me an infinite loadingscreen
