Battlefield 4 expansion development on hold until issues are fixed
"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game," an EA spokesperson told CVG.
"Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4," said the rep, confirming that all other development is currently on hold.
"We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain. We will not stop until this is right."
BF4 has been plagued with various critical issues since launch, including server instability and lag during gameplay, corrupt save data, XP loss and complete system crashes on an alarmingly regular basis.
Developer Dice said it has fixed the "most common" stability issues with the PS4 version of Battlefield 4 via a server-side 'hotfix' last month, but many issues persist.
The glitch-induced woes continued for BF4 players this week as Dice released the China Rising expansion to a new slate of game-breaking errors, including a complete inability to play the DLC content for some platforms.

LinxKatsumiMKP I just want my game to stop crashing.
Hopefully they can fix that one up some time soon. It sure is pretty irritating
yes i really hate it when it crashes then kicks me to the Xbox One home screen
It also happens with the Xbox 360 a fair bit. The game completely freezes and makes you hard reset your console

It shouldn't have got this far though. The game was rushed out before CoD to fit EA's financial agenda, and released in a clearly unfinished state. As good as it is when it works, EA screwed up by pushing for release and are now trying to offer platitudes to make up for it.

LinxLavishTend Looking forward to this when I get my replacement xbox one in.
What are you getting a replacement for?
I am just curious as to what is actually covered by warranty.
i think on the xbox one some peoples slot loading dvd drive's broke on them so Microsoft sends them a replacement console then they send there broken one back when they get there replacement, i guess i got lucky because my xbox one has not had this issue
Those broken disc trays were because of fault shipment.
There weren't that many that were shipped broken.

GibbityTree Yeah DICE and EA thats nice and all, but you should have had the game fully functional out of the gate. Nobody wants to spend $60 for a broken game, then wait for the problems to be fixed. Make the purchase justifiable and stop ramming BS down everyone's throat.
There has never been a game in history to be released without any bugs or glitches.

I blame EA mostly. They're the ones that rushed Dice into releasing the game before Christmas.
Exactly. You have all these idiots going around saying "Oh yeah, I'll still buy the DLC, at least they care about the community." My ass. I just hope they don't rush Star Wars Battlefront.
