No way to download Naval strike

I'm a premium member and am unable to download Naval Strike. I initially got an error the first time I logged into Origin today telling me that I could not download Naval Strike because I had ran out of HD space. (damn small SSDs).


I freed up space and rebooted, restarted origin. There is no way to download Naval Strike now. When I right click BF4 and hit UPDATE, it tells me the game is up to date.

If I try to join a NS server it tells me: "Requires additional expansion pack. Battlefield 4 - Naval Strike You need to download and install this expansion."

When I hit the button to "OPEN IN ORIGIN" it just goes to my game library page and nothing happens. I've rebooted several times now and the result is the same every time.

Seems like maybe Origin is stuck thinking that I don't have space to install the game somehow even though I do, there some sort of state that has gotten stuck that is preventing it from prompting me to download Naval Strike?

  • If you're not being prompted to download NS have you right clicked BF4's icon, selected "show game details" and then right clicked Naval Strike's icon and selected "download", or if download isn't there "repair"? If you see "purchase" instead of download or repair I recommend speaking with a game advisor.

    Manually logging out and back into Origin could help you with this.

    Sadly, I've tried this about a half dozen times along with rebooting and no luck.

    Awesome, thanks for the tip!

    I had been right clicking and hitting UPDATE assuming that would get me the latest DLC. Indeed, clicking GAME DETAILS followed by clicking on the NS expansion allows me to INSTALL the expansion.
