Battlefield cant play Naval strike “YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS EXPANSION.”

battlefield-4

Today(31/3/2014) naval strike for battlefield 4 came out.
Origin said it had a new download available, and directly installed it(I have got premium).
There also was an update for battlelog(also installed that).
Now, when i am trying to join a game that has naval strike maps in it, it will give me an error saying:
REQUIRES ADDITIONAL EXPANSION PACK
BATTLEFIELD 4 – NAVAL STRIKE
YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS EXPANSION.

I rebooted my computer twice, re logged in origin and battlelog, but i cant get it to work.
Also in my update folder in bf4 there is only Xpack0 and Xpack1.
I have searched on Google, and they say(for older expansion packs) that i need to go in regedit and add Installed with value true.
Tried Xpack2 and Xpack3 but that didn't help.

Can anyone help me?

You will need to reinstall the game, or update the registry key to show that you have the expansion installed.

Back up your registry

Log out and fully exit Origin

Open your Registry Editor - Type in regedit in the Search Menu and press Enter

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > EA Games > Battlefield 4

Check for a folder named Xpack1 under the Battlefield 4 folder

If it exists -> Click on Xpack1, on the right pane see if there is a string named

Installed. Double click on Installed string and set the Value data to True

If it does not exists -> Right-click on Battlefield 4 select New then select Key a new folder will be created, name it Xpack1 right-click on Xpack1 > New > String Value > name this string Installed on the right-pane, double-click on Installed, set Value Data to True

5 . Exit Registry Editor

Once all these steps have been completed, log in to Origin and start up Battlefield 4 and join China Rising Maps
