Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners!

The team is working on the bugs you’ve reported, so keep sharing your bugs/issues so we can squash ‘em flat.

Part of The Weekly Grind will be dedicated to sharing the current Known Issues the team is tracking, any active deployments/fixes, and next steps. 

Known Issues

Still Being Investigated:

• Some Players are unable to export in MP4 Format.
• Workaround PC ONLY: Using WebM format when exporting works.
• Workaround on Xbox: Go to your Xbox Dashboard> Settings> Captures. Check that the setting says "Captures by Me and Games," not just "Captures by Me."
• Changing the graphics preset doesn’t update the settings shown at the bottom of the Graphics screen as it should.
• Tailslides and Noseslides are not correctly detected when approaching a ledge from its end.
• Wallride detection often causes the skater to flip unnaturally.
• The Smith-to-Tailslide task often fails to register when performed correctly.
• Quick Ollie/Nollie into No-Foot Grab results in leg clipping on the board.
• Some flip trick animations appear different in the Replay Editor when done by other skaters.
• Some specific landing animations make the skater's upper body snap upright immediately.
• Game intermittently fails to enter Quick Drop mode from the radial menu
• Workaround: Hold the D-Pad Left to enter Quick Drop mode.
• Switch or nollie 360 inward heelflip rotates the skater if PS5 power saving is enabled.
• Workaround: Disable Power Saver for skate.
• Skater spawns off-board, and camera tracking freezes when resetting the Session Marker set at a ledge in drop-in position.
• Skater accelerates on a specific circular brick planter after landing a grind or slide trick.
• Rarely does the title crash when you select San Vansterdam at the Ferry Terminal in SUMR Camp. 
• Mini stutters are present while traversing the map on Xbox One. 
• skate.Pass shortcut does not work when opening the Bounties menu from the D-Pad. 
• The parental restriction on console communication doesn't affect in-game settings or functionality. 
• When the field of view is set above 90, LOD causes aggressive texture changes each time the skater switches from onboard to offboard. 
• Gen 4 console users can get stuck on loading screens, while Gen 5 console and PC users frequently use co-op travels. 
• The prompt received after being kicked states that users don't have access to San Vansterdam, rather than the location they attempted to enter without access. 
• Block Party UI fails to appear when spawning inside an active Block Party. 
• Borderless full-screen mode accidentally uses the last resolution set by the Full Screen resolution
