hey skate. fam,
With update 0.27.7 release on Sept 16, 2025, we’ve been hard at work gathering newly reported bugs, issues, and are triaging them to work on solutions/fixes. This is not an exhaustive list of all issues being tracked and worked on, these are the top ones we’ve seen reported and the team is investigating.
Note 1:
We've pushed out a back-end fix for most of those affected by being softlocked/progression stuck. We'd like you to restart the game and log back in. If you're STILL having issues, please post here with the details. if you're not, go skate.
Note 2:
The team has pushed out a back-end fix for the endless Configuring error and has confirmed this should be resolved.
They've also pushed a cross-play fix and a fix for full server errors when trying to join friends.
