Battlefield 4 expansion development on hold until issues are fixed

4.7
Dice has put all expansion pack development on hold until it fixes the multitude of errors that have plagued Battlefield 4 since launch.

"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.

Damn, I hate when this happens. They really need to slow down and release things when they're ready.....

I don't mind this as long as they fix it. Hopefully they'll give us another double xp week! But that is unlikely.

-TwoChainz Sucks that we have to wait.


I doubt it will be a long wait. I only experience the crashes when the xbox one first came out besides that, i had no issues.

Yeah, it's good for them to patch everything up before releasing any new content.

Which is a good thing.
Why would someone want them to released something that is glitch infested.

I'm on the PS3 version. Is that why there are not any players on any server?
