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.
