BF4 China Rising Expansion not working

[slugwash]

Same for me - says I own the game - email says just start the game to play - when I do, it says I need the expansion downloaded - no obvious link - Doh!

Kept having the same friggin problem of not being able to download for PC, even though I did update the game and there was nothing allowing to download, despite being premium. Even the tip of bringing up the Game Info in Origin didn't work, as even though it showed Early Access for CR, there was nothing that would allow for downloading it. The game said it was up to date as well seeing how I updated a few hours before.

Now for the ridiculous and saddening solution:

I finally decided that I'd quit origin out of despair and restart it. It came up with an origin update... Seriously? You can't fcking show a popup or some sort of notification that there is an Origin Update available? Like WTF.

After installing that 55MB Origin Update it proceeded to instantly update BF4 and download the CR expansion.
Why on earth it needs a friggin origin update to download an update/expansion for a friggin game is beyond me and beyond any reasoning.

Anyway if you are still having problems about not being able to play/download the expansion on PC, just restart fckin origin.

Restarting origin worked for me.

How do we restart Origin on PS3?

Yeah exactly how? I've posted a similar thread to this for PS3 users with the same problems. ---->> http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/PS3-Premium-problem-for-China-Rising-DLC-BF4/td-p/1943207

EA needs to sort out some compensation for both this premium mess up, the moving of the double XP weekend and the fact that the public will most likely have this map pack before us premium members!!! seriously WTF!!!
