How to play w/o Premium on Premium server when there's Vanilla map running.

Found this on reddit. thought it was pretty cool , especially because the base game has been dropping in price, but not the expansions or premium

Some of you must have encounter a strange bug on Battlelog that says that you don't have DLC installed while you just installed it. This happened twice to me, and the fix to that was small registry change.

So using my "outstanding" intellect and my non-premium firend I discovered that anyone can play on Premium or DLC server when there's map that you have installed running.

Okay there are 2 ways how to do it, manually and semi-automatically. Both methods will work but some of you might be afraid of using pre-made reg file.

Semi-auto method:

1. Download this file : http://www.mediafire.com/download/v3m4va5eokt56y8/FIX.reg[1]

2. Open it, press add to registry.

3. Done.

Manual method:

1. Create new text file.

2. Paste code from here http://pastebin.com/7UyvEGQC[2]

3. Click File → Save As.

4. Click the "Save as type" dropdown menu.

5. Select "All files".

6. Enter a name for the fix followed by .reg

7. Open new created file.

8. Add to registry.

9. Done.

Now Battlelog will let you join Premium and DLC servers but if there's map from DLC that you don't have you won't be able to join."
