Can't get online or use gallery, only offline play available.

This just happened with the new update. I was online 4 days ago and yes the Social Features is on. My mods and cc have been disabled and it still won't let me online. I can play in offline mode but I can't collect my event rewards or access gallery. I am upset because this happens every time there is big updates. What's the point of having an event and updating all at the same time when a lot of people are having the same issue and can't get their rewards. I don't see EA extending the event after DLC release.
