For those unaware, here’s the announcement from DICE back on August 5 regarding the XP loss:
We're seeing an issue where the Daily First Match Bonus XP isn't being awarded.
While XP shows as Earned during EOR, it currently doesn't count towards your Rank or Battle Pass.
Our teams are on it to ensure this XP will be granted as expected. We'll keep you updated. pic.twitter.com/sVCz1KNNAP

Hopefully, no other XP-related issues persist. As for what’s next, DICE has mentioned previously that we should be hearing about Season 2 details within the month. While there’s no concrete confirmation on what new content players will be getting, the studio confirmed that we’ll be getting one new map for All-Out Warfare, and that stealth choppers are getting nerfed again.
