Softlock/Freeze after Starting Coop Challenges [15.10.25]

I‘m writing this AFTER the latest Hotfix.

Everytime I start a Challenge as Coop Challenge, the moment the Countdown ends I keep stucking on the open world. I‘m able to skate around then, but I‘m not able to open the menu nor end the game on any other way but by tabing out and close it manually.

I‘ve tested it on both, steam and EA App Version, and keep getting the same issue on both platforms.

I‘ve already tried:

• repairing game files/verify game files
• delete the „Skate“ folder from the Local App Data Directory
• changed the skate.exe properties to „disabling fullscreen optimization“ and „start as administrator“

Nothing helped so far.
