Hi I have Battlefield 3 Premium but when I right-click BF3 and click show game details, it says I need to buy Back to Karkand. It's greyed out, but I already have the other DLCs from premium. I'm sure repairing or reinstalling isn't going to do anything since this is likely a small glitch in my account. Thanks in advance for any help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi there 6nick1!
PLEASE NOTE: You don't need to buy Back to Karkand if you purchased the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3, you will just need to update the game. It is possible to buy Back to Karkandeven if you already have access to it via the Limited Edition, so please be careful.
ALSO NOTE: If you have the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3, and you have updated BF3 in order to gain access to Back to Karkand, you will not see Back to Karkand in the "My Games" tab of Origin. Back to Karkand is included with the Limited Edition of BF3, so additional box art will not appear. If you purchase Back to Karkand separately, you should be able to see its box art in "My Games".
PC:
If you have the Limited Edition, you just need to update BF3 and the Back to Karkand content will be unlocked in your game.
- Sincerely, Timmie.

Thanks for the reply
But unfortunetly it didn't solve my problem. I have bought Premium so I should have it right? But I have bought it separately before, then bought Premium. It doesn't let me redownload the Back to Karkand DLC though. So I guess I need it to be not greyed out and that I own it already.

Thanks it worked! The only thing I needed to do was to update the game. But for some reason it didn't redownload it at first, it just said BF3 was up to date. So I had to go into Origin Games/BF3/Update and deleted the Xpack1 File and then I updated the game. It reinstalled Back to Karkand

This is helpful but I still am missing Karkand. It shows as Premium unlocked on my game details but I get an error popup if I try to connect to a karkand server. If anyone can fix this Id be very grateful.
Also I always get the pink login wrong username and password bar and then manually have to log in. This never affected the Karkand issue in the past thought.

I'm Having the same issue as VortextheGorkha: Premium user, can play all DLCs but Back to Karkand, and have the same Pop up everytime I try.
I've repaired the game, deledted Xpack where Karkand files are located, redownloaded them via Update game option, uninstalled the game, reinstalled it, tried different web browsers (Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) and all give me the same problem. Sometimes it will launch but it's completelly random. So it must be something on Battlelogs end.
