Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners and Gromites! 

Let’s roll!

What’s going on?

We’re in our second week of the first Creator Collaboration Challenge series. Our event blog dropped so check it out if you missed it. 

• These are Difficult Challenges
• The Challenges are on Isle of Grom, but there’s 4 lists of tasks to complete that are on Grom and in San Van. (Unlimited Grom access is available for skate.Premium Pass members or for non-Premium Pass members, you can get a 24 hour San Van Water Taxi pass for 500 Rip Chips.)
• Complete all the ZexyZek Task lists to get a deck, a hat, a shirt, and some pants. Crush it and you get a special ZexyZek title.

We released update 0.30.8 last week to address an issue where joining a Zexy Challenge would crash the game. This was related to French and German VO, which the hotfix did address.

The team also pushed a backend change to address the following issue:

• Returning to the session marker while 'getting unstuck' can get the player stuck on the black loading screen.
  • We’ll have a full fix coming with 0.31.0 on June 2. 

Don’t forget: Keep sharing your bug/issues so we can squash ‘em flat. 

Let’s dive right into the calendar.

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.

Developer’s Note: We’re seeing a small volume of crashes on PC related to 13th and 14th Gen Intel Processors. 
This is a thermal hardware issue with Intel processors, which Intel patched back in 2024, but if you were affected and didn’t download the patch in time, your CPU may be permanently damaged. This issue can cause crashes with high load applications, like video games. You can read more about the issue here and download a diagnostic tool here to see if your PC has this issue. 

Known Issues Still Being Investigated:

• Month 3 task appears as Use Fast Travel Points instead of Grind or Manual Distance for non-English languages.
• Duplicate Product Boxes appearing for all three neighborhoods in the store with an “Insufficient Funds” error if opened. 
  • Workaround: Traveling from San Van to Isle of Grom or vice versa resolves this.
• Some Trophies/Achievements are not registering progress if the requirement is done on Isle of Grom.
  • Workaround: Trophies will progress when actions are taken on San Vansterdam instead.
• Adjusting your video settings on PC can cause other settings to change.
• Character texture flickers when the Pipe Dream challenge starts.
• Players cannot grind on the rails of the Stadium parking entrance.
• Sometimes when editing in the Replay Editor, players are unable to exit.
  • Workaround: Press the L stick in to hide the UI, then again to show it. This should unstick the Replay Editor.
• Speedline challenges can end prematurely while in a sequence due to final bearing placement
• The notification denoting when a friend comes online can randomly trigger multiple times.
• After purchasing multiple SVB packs in succession, an error appears during checkout.
• Skater seems to pass through the board when having specific heights.

• After accepting a skate. party invite via Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, the invite reappears after the player is already in the party they were invited to.
• Spin degrees in the trick feed are sometimes inaccurate.
• Graphical glitches are present in the UI on PCs using AMD GPUs.
  • Workaround - AMD: 
    • Go to AMD's driver site and find your graphics card from the "Search or Browse Drivers" section.
    • Click on "Previous Versions" and download the one labeled "Adrenalin 25.12.1."
    • Download and Run the AMD Cleanup Utility.
    • Reboot, and then run the Adrenalin 25.12.1 installer.
    • Reboot again and launch the game.
• Neighborhood Progress appears reset and previously opened product boxes appear locked.
  • Workaround: Press Windows + R on your keyboard > Type: %localappdata% > Press Enter > Find the skate folder %localappdata%\skate\ > Delete or rename the folder. (Rename the folder if you have saved replays or screenshots).
• Activity count on Isle of Grom zone entrance menu shows incorrect total amount of completed challenges.
• Flags on Isle of Grom unintentionally can cause your skater to bail.
• Coffin Air 540 in the Waterworks OTL Challenge often fails to register the goal as completed.
