PS3 "YOU HAVE LOST THE CONNECTION TO THE SESSION"

Downloaded china rising this morning now I have a $60 coaster. The game issues a server connection error every time I attempt to load a multilayer match. Region I loaded into is unknown but I am located in the southwest United  States. 

Just talked to an EA game adviser. They have absolutely no idea what is going on, all they know is what their script tells them.

I haven't had much in the way of problems since I started playing when BF4 was released, the occasional freeze but that was a rare occurance. I have premium and downloaded the China Rising DLC when it was released 2 days ago and it worked fine, I was able to play the new CR content as well as the original stuff with no issues (other than the server browser on my tablet acting crazy, not finding any servers except EA test servers.) I didn't play yesterday at all. Today however I started getting this message no matter what server I try to join and how I try to join it. I've tried quick play, in-game server browser and the server browser on my tablet and all sorts of different game modes in each.  It starts to join like normal but soon after goes blank and then kicks me back to the menu with a message saying "You have lost the connection to the session."  Again, I haven't had any connection issues before today.

Edit: I live in Southern Ontario, Canada

same sh**t in europe,i need playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I don't have yet china rising but make the same trouble 

Same problem here in Canada, three hours of frustration, thanks EA.

Same issue for me. These issues are starting to get old.
