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.

HeyitsHazard Companies need to get their stuff together.It seems like everyone is so worried about pooping out their games they don't care about all the problems it has.
Well, they are trying to fix the issues. Most games have problems out of the gate and take days to find the problem and days to fix.

LavishWoof 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.
I agree, they pushed out the game to fast.
Although, BF4 fans aren't going to stop playing this game despite all the technical problems.
Yeah, they probably should've waited a bit before releasing the game.

KatsumiLinxKatsumiMKP 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
I'm surprised that the paid game testers weren't able to find these problems when testing the game.
Unless it is just a typical kink in coding.
Fix one problem and you just caused two more problems.
