Part of The Weekly Grind will be dedicated to sharing current Known Issues the team is tracking for bugs & issues, any active deployments/fixes, and next steps.
Known Issues Still Being Investigated:
Board Stickers are invisible when running a NVIDIA card on driver 591.44 or newer.
Workaround: Rolling driver back to 580.81 should resolve this for now.
Players can be pulled into co-op challenges without being in a party.
Tweaking skate's. graphical settings can cause the fullscreen resolution to switch to 640x480.
Workaround: Rename the %localappdata%\\skate\\data folder or delete the folders that have numbers in that folder tree.
Players claiming missing Founders and Deluxe items.
Players gradually become invisible after a certain period of gameplay.
During the Stop, Quick Drop, and Roll Mission, the fliptrick over cars criteria doesn't seem to track until after you complete all of the other criterias.
Often during the tutorial, if you wipeout during the Ollie Course, Vee's line about being off board will loop infinitely.
Workaround: Restarting skate. has been reported to fix this issue.
Exported videos are longer than their displayed in-game length.
There is an additional stuttering issue present when using the replay editor in-game, noticeable as skipped frames.
Sometimes, putting the game on fullscreen and leaving it minimized for three or four minutes will prevent the player from re-opening it until the game is restarted.
Often the Team Up, Throw Down mission does not end until the player untracks and retracks the mission.
The player needs to press the Back button two times for the missions menu to close.
The Throwdowns queue timer freezes after all other players leave the queue.
When logging out in a community park and logging again, the tasks won´t count.
Rarely, when interacting with a player and joining their party, you will accidentally join another player’s party.
The speech-to-text feature does not transcribe the words correctly.
Rarely, the Back button has no functionality, and the player cannot exit the Replay Editor.
