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.

xItalian_Modzx im glad theyre trying to fix it but focusing your team completely on this may cause other issues
This is one of their biggest projects.
They have a whole team hired just for this.
It's not like all of dice is working just on this.

They want to sort out all the bugs and ensure players have a good experience when playing BF4. If the entire team is focused on fixing the bugs, then I don't see how that may create more?

That's why we pay them, get the job done then worry about making more money, because if the players are not happy, guaranteed not as many will buy dlc.

Hopefully they rectify any issues in future DLC content or the reputation of DICE is going to drop come next BF game.

Yop Just give it updates, it's whATS gonna happen
No.
If they didn't put development on hold, it would have a ton of bugs.
Which would lead to just a bunch of people complaining.
