Game disk is broken! Can i get a disk from another region and play?

My friend broke his bf4 disk. He's from Canada and he came to live here in lebanon.

The disk he's got is from Canada and he's got the dlcs and all the updates so he doesn't want to go through with downloading them again.

Can he just buy a disk from Lebanon (Europe region) and run the game with the disk or does he have to reinstall the game to be able to run it?

Thanks for any speedy answers!

Solution 1:

It doesn't work we tried it with a friend's disk. The console installs the game like its a new game so now he has 2 bf4s installed which is weird I guess. Resolved

Solution 2:

You have to uninstall and install back again. It's annoying.
I just got ghosts region 2 and I already had it updated and installed region 1. They wanted me to reupdate with the install.
