The Spectate function is Broken since latest update

Hello - I am writing to report that since the most recent update of Skate, the Spectate function during throwdowns has become almost completely broken.  Since I have been playing the game, on has always been able to view, watch, or "spectate" all other players skating when it is their turn during a Spot Battle/Throwdown,  Unfortunately, since the latest update, this is seriously messed up.

Now, as each other player's turn comes up during a Spot Battle, it is a crap shoot as to whether or not you will even be able to watch them skate.  About 50% of the time, you will see them skate and complete their turn during the current round as normal.  The other half of the time, one of several glitches or software crashes will occur - either you will see a) a big area of "clouds" or other anomalous graphics which look like just a plain area with different shades of colors etc. filling the entire screen (with ZERO view of the currently skating player), or, you may see the camera just stay fixed on your own player, as you watch the player whose turn it is begin to skate away from the starting line, and then disappear in the distance.

This has SEVERELY downgraded the fun and joy of spot battles/throwdowns.  One cannot watch one's friends skate when it is their turn, about half of the time.  This is happening on a desktop PC with massive video gaming power which works flawlessly.  It is running windows 11 with tons of powerrful hardware (32 cores!).  This has nothing whatsoever to do with equipment, this is a new phenomenon which has only occurred since the latest update was installed in the last week of September.

Please fix this as soon as possible!  It is a major problem and is severely interfering in the enjoyment of the game.  This was 100% caused by something included in the latest update and is a catastrophic failure.  Please repair this!

    Hi, I reported this 2 weeks ago in the tech issues/bugs forum, if you wouldn't mind giving it a vote so that they can see other people are facing this, that would be appreciated .
