What happened
Version 1.4.3.0 deployed September 15.
Tidal Strike content activated four hours later.
The practical change: Confirm the update number before troubleshooting and keep Labs proximity chat separate from the standard live playlist.
What is confirmed
- Deep Six adds collection rewards.
- Proximity chat is in Battlefield Labs for Live.
- REDSEC receives a new Phantom Program.

What this means for players
Players may need both the downloaded build and server-side content activation.
Labs features should not be described as universal live defaults.
What is still unconfirmed
Patch notes do not prove every platform downloaded or activated the content at the same local minute.
What to do next
- 01Verify version 1.4.3.0.
- 02Restart after the server activation window.
- 03Use the exact playlist when reporting chat behavior.
