Back to Karkand released, problems follow

Many PC players are reporting problems accessing Battlefield 3’s Back to Karkand DLC after its release on Tuesday.

Affected users have documented the issue in a 74-page thread on their forums, where they report receiving an error message that pops up while attempting to access Back to Karkand, telling them: “Game Disconnected: you are missing content from the game.”

EA acknowledged the following issues on launch day:

1.Battlelog does not recognize Back to Karkand: Battlelog may instruct you to “Buy Back to Karkand Now” even when you already own the expansion pack. This issue will prevent you from joining any Back to Karkand servers.

2.Battlelog acknowledges that you have Back to Karkand, but game servers don’t: You will receive a “Missing Content” error message and will not be able to join Back to Karkand servers.

We are aware of these issues and working hard to fix them. Watch this space for updates.

Affected users are still making new forum posts on the matter, so it looks as if the fix hasn’t been released yet.

As of today, Thursday, the majority of the problems are reported to have been fixed.
