    I am also in the same situation. In-game gallery down. Also, I get an error "Oops! Something went wrong..." when trying to access the website gallery too.
    Looks like a server side issue maybe.

  • I'm having the same problem. No i'm not an underage account and etc... I just load forever.

    Same here for me.. my pets are also solid black.

    Seems like everyone's having issues, maybe it's a update fail.

    I think everyone is having pretty much the same experience. The gallery has been offline since the Laundry Pack went live a few hours ago.

    Yeah me too. I went on origin and downloaded  a new connection and now it's telling me the servers are offline.

    Mines not even telling me it can't connect. It's connected but it either never loads anything or tells me theres no results.
    Edit: Scratch that, it's now stating that it's offline and will not connect.

    Hi everyone,

    If your Gallery is not connecting, please, try the following:

    • Remember underage accounts can't access online services
    • Make sure Origin is online instead of on offline mode.
    • Make sure your firewall or antivirus are not blocking the connection - add the game and Origin to its exceptions.
    • Restart your router
    • Flush your DNS - you can learn how to here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/
    • Wait a few hours - it could be there's a maintenance going on at the time.
    • Run the game and Origin as administrator
    • Try to use a different Windows account

    I'm closing this thread because it's very old. If none of these steps work for you, or you have any questions on how to perform any of the steps, feel free to open a new thread. Remember to let us know which steps you have tried so far, so we don't suggest the same again!

    Thank you!

    -Mai
