game blackscreen at launch

When I launch my game it goes into a black screen. Sometimes it wont even load into a full screen. But its always black and I have to restart the whole pc just to use it again. I want to play the game and havnt been able to since late April. I need help and EA only told me to search the forums. They refuse to help with any tech support.

  • Do not let it launch in full screen mode, if it opens in full screen mode use alt+enter before it does anything else. Then make sure your graphics settings have the game set to windowed. You can use alt+enter to make it full screen after it loads. 

    This solved my issue, I haven't let it load into full screen mode in a year.

    Definitely not fixed lol but I appreciate the confidence I suppose. Pc still crashes. I literally have to still restart the whole computer. The manager won't even pop up to close your game. Tech support still hilarious

    Thanks for sending over your DxDiag.

    Before trying anything else, could you confirm whether you tried the workaround DigitalWolf333​  mentioned? Specifically, launch the game in windowed mode by pressing Alt + Enter before it switches to fullscreen, then keep the game set to Windowed/Borderless. If it loads successfully, you can try Alt + Enter again afterward.

    Also, there's another workaround that might help here: 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).

    Please let us know if that helps.
