There have been many forums posts and comments about Flashback Map Pack 2 and certain glitches that had been found while playing. The reason you saw those bugs is that the version that was posted on February 22nd on the European PS Store was an earlier version of the map pack that wasn’t final. For this reason we requested the content be taken down from the EU store temporarily. It was removed and replaced today.
This is important - EU PLAYERS – The correct and final version of Flashback Map Pack 2 is live. You will need to re-download it from your PS Store. You can do this by viewing recent purchases via the Download List (top right hand corner of your PS Store) and then selecting the Flashback Map Pack 2 content for download.
The version of the Flashback Map Pack 2 that went live in all other regions outside of the EU is the final version. Those regions will not be required to re-download. They will only be subject to the following changes.
During the time the earlier version of the DLC was live we didn’t take any maps out of the matchmaking rotation for any region. We did what was possible to fix the more glaring exploits. These fixes will remain in place until patch 1.07, which will be available shortly after patch 1.06 is released. Patch 1.06 is slated to be released in 1 to 2 weeks. Patch 1.07 will come after that.
If you haven’t seen it already, here’s a list of the changes that had been made to the Plaza map globally. Again, these will remain in place until patch 1.07 releases.
For Competitive Modes (on Plaza)
-
Added a stack of cars to prevent players from accessing an alleyway in Plaza that will drop players out of the level geometry
For Co-op Arena and Hunter Arena modes (on Plaza)
-
Added a death region to the affected area, which will instantly kill a player if they travel into it.
-
Removed Plaza from the Hunter Matchmaking playlist
We will keep these changes in place until patch 1.07, as it will require all owners of the Flashback Map Pack 2 who have the incorrect version to re-download it. If you have the correct version of Flashback Map Pack 2, you will not need to re-download anything when patch 1.07 hits.
As always please continue to let us know what you see as you are playing via the forums, here, or through our other communication channels. Thank you for your patience and understanding. See you online!

Yeah, you have to delete the Additional Content file in the Game Data Utility folder first and then redownload all the DLCs.
Someone on the forums said that Asia (Hong Kong and/or Japan) also had the old version uploaded… is that true?
Also, you still haven’t added the Flashback Map Pack #2 in the in-game EU store. Can you sort this out, please?

India is handled by SCEE/Sony Europe, not Sony Asia.

Yeah, thats what I mentioned in my comment . Is there a way I can delete “only” FMBP#2 from the game data utility in the XMB. IIRC, its 1+Gb size which means it has all the DLC content released so far by ND.
I deleted FBMP#1 few weeks back by deleting the game data utility and I ended up losing all the skins too. Had to redownload them all later that day.

Not everyone is going to see this… So how will they know to re-install?
Also, if you haven’t removed the maps from the map rotation, why are they not showing up (I have the NA final version)??
BTW, do the EU players have to delete and re-download EVERY single piece of DLC for this, or do they just have to download the flashback #2 pack and install it without manually deleting anything?

Help us spread the word! We are communicating it through as many channels as possible. This post will appear in PlayStation channels as well.
Just download the Flashback Map Pack and install it should work. Let us know if you have any problems with that.
As for them not showing up, it’s a matter that other players need to have the same DLC installed.
