Skate 2 & 3 - How to fix issues connecting to the servers

How to fix issues connecting to the servers
 

If you are experiencing difficulties when trying to log in to the skate servers, then please make sure you have linked your GamerTag / PSN ID to your Origin Account.

 

Once you've done that, make sure your Skate share pack* (equivalent for the Online Pass in Skate) is properly installed.
In some instances you may need to re-download and your Share pack code.

*The Skate share pack is a DLC for Skate 3 available for free in your console's store, generally listed under Add-ons.
1 -  Linking Your Gamertag, PSN ID, and Origin Account

Step1, if you haven't done it yet, link your Origin ID to your GamerTag or PSN ID:

2 - Make sure Skate Share pack is properly installed  - Skate 3 only
 

The Skate share pack* (equivalent for Online Pass in Skate,) needs to be installed or re-installed if you want to join the Skate servers.

This pack is available for free in the PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Make sure you are downloading this pack from the same online store region as the one used for purchasing your base game.

  1. Start your Xbox 360 system
  2. Sign into the Xbox Live account that originally downloaded the Online Pass
  3. Press the 'Guide' button in the top-middle center of your Xbox 360 Controller
  4. Navigate to the 'Settings' Menu
  5. Select 'Account Management'
  6. Select 'Download History'
  7. Locate the entry for the Online Pass you wish to re-download
  8. Choose to download the Online Pass again

NOTE: If you still continue to experience an issue after working through these steps, you may need to uninstall all non-save game content related to the game in question. Once this is done, re-attempting these steps should help fix the issue.

  1. Start your Playstation 3 system
  2. Scroll to the 'Playstation Network' menu and sign in with the account that originally downloaded the Online Pass
  3. In the same menu, select 'Account Management'
  4. Select 'Transaction Management'
  5. Select the download list and locate the entry for the Online Pass you wish to re-download
  6. Selecting the Online Pass should then start the re-download process

 

If you continue to have issues on PS3, attempt the following:
  • Delete the Game Utility Data for your afflicted Game/Title. You can learn how to do this from Step 5 in this troubleshooting article.
  • Insert your game disc and/or launch your game from the XMB. The game should inform you that your Pass is corrupt and give you the option to redownload your Pass.
  • Simply re-download your Pass.

If your EA Online Pass either exceeds or is less than your console's standard code-length, start your game and you should be prompted to enter or purchase an Online Pass when the game attempts to connect to the EA servers. 

Note: This can also be triggered by attempting to access the multiplayer-menu on most games. You may not be prompted to enter or purchase an Online Pass if you are on trial-access for your game until your trial ends.

    @another_puddin 

    I have been able to find your previous post and from what I understand you are not able to play with your son, is that correct?

    I can see that your account is correctly set indeed (Skate share pack + linked to your GamerTag.)
    Now are you both playing within the same network?

    Specifically in your case, I would recommend checking the NAT Settings.

    "If you are experiencing an issue where you cannot play with your friends and you get the following error message: 'Game Session no longer exists', please check the NAT settings".

    - So it's 2018 and I still play Skate 3 on PS3, and I want to make some videos and download my footage. I too keep getting an error saying "cannot connect to server right now" blah blah blah....

    - A bit of digging and... I have now just discovered that the Skate.Reel is no more! But I paid a lot of money for a game that I still play, and now no longer has full functionality!! All I wish to do is either download my footage or upload it to YouTube. I'm also now seeing that some people are buying the "Filmer  pack" to do exactly this - And EA claim it has been removed and discontinued!!

    - (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Skate-Games/Skate-reel-and-Skate-Graphics/m-p/2333419#M1354)

    "...Although Skate.Reel has been retired, the content can still be shared within the game so the skate share pack is still available and is now free of charge.

    For the same reasons the Filmer Pack add-on has been removed as this was an upgrade to the Skate.reel feature."

    - Why is "Filmer Pack" still available for purchase on my PS3 console in 2018 @ £7.39 GBP??? I'm disgusted and disappointed!!

    Please explain EA...

    (Oh and if you could add an "Upload to YouTube" option that actually works.. It would be greatly appreciated! I wouldn't be so p***** off about paying for a game that doesn't do what it did when I bought it! And no I'm not buying a capture card. Cheers!)
