Help with Connection to UGC in Festival of Blood

Long story short - Like many others I'm trying to get trophies before the servers shut down. I've gotten what I needed on inFamous 2 back when I first played it so that's all good but I bought Festival of Blood a couple days ago and have completed it. Only need the last two trophies but they're both tied to the online UGC which I can't connect to.

It will load up my saved game and about 20 seconds later will pop up saying it's online then immediately another popup will say it's offline and to reconnect. I've already accepted the EULA thing so that's not an issue. I press connect through the menu where it will take me back into the game and repeat the online/offline messages. I've never once seen any green markers on the map. No matter what I do it just won't connect at all.

I've connected to my home wifi and mobile hotspot.
Changed the DNS 1 and 2 to 8888 and 8844.
I've reset my game/console multiple times.
I've deleted and redownloaded/installed the entire game.

I can't find any other way of making it connect so if you have some advice you could share with an unlucky bro please do.

Thanks!
