Trophies don't Work since new Update
Since the new Update about a week ago, trophies don't work anymore. Not at all. For many Players. If you get the requirements (11000 rip Score for example) you still don't get your trophy. Please fix that! For many players trophies are a big motivation and reward to play the game and with the Platinum so grindy in "skate." it would feel really bad not to get it in the end...Connection Lost | Error code: 3982909855
I started encountering this error for the first time today before the weekly reset for the event. I can't find any additional information on this specific error except a thread from playtest era in search results that I can't access. It happens after between 2 and 10 minutes of playtime consistently, usually after closing a menu but sometimes while playing, the game screen goes black for a minute and then this error appears. So far I have tried verifying game files in Steam, full uninstall/reinstall along with deleting the %localappdata%\Skate folder, repairing Javelin anticheat through the EA/AC folder installer, launching the game through EA instead of Steam, and updating windows. This issue has been brought up more recently by multiple other users and has not as far as I can tell been addressed in any official way.
Problems with the shaders (?)
Hi there, After the Season 3 update, me and my friend have noticed a bug with the graphics (shaders maybe?) and we figured out a workaround to fixing it. First we noticed some textures were not loading in the proper quality, for example the ground textures on some parts of the Rolling Waves park would look very low quality (see the "Before" picture linked). Then I noticed the lighting would look weird in dark shadowy areas, like if the shadows were turned off or something. Well... then I decided to change my graphics settings by selecting one of the Global Graphics Quality presets and customizing it to my liking. And when I continued playing, all of the low quality textures were fixed, the weird lighting was fixed, all the new "grime -textures" appeared on surfaces and more graffiti appeared too. I went back to look what graphic setting was it that changed the whole look of the game... It wasn't any of the settings, it was just a bug. And workaround to that is to just "refresh" the graphics by switching to one of the Global Graphics Quality presets so the game has to load in the new graphics settings again and then you can go back to your custom settings again. So, The fastest FIX: Switch graphics preset Custom -> Ultra -> Custom. Now, refreshing the graphics wouldn't be a huge problem doing it once but we noticed the bug appears every time we'd load into a new server. At least some part of the graphics will break. Some goes unnoticed and some are very noticeable. One time I fix it and the game runs smoothly and then maybe I join another server and fix the graphics there again and the game starts to run very poorly, low fps and stuttering even with the same graphics settings. Another thing that's an annoyance with the fixing process is that as soon as I switch to the Ultra preset, the game automatically turns that to a Custom preset without me customizing any of the settings there. So now I have to go and redo all the settings manually to the ones I prefer. Anyways, I've added some screenshots; Before the fix and After the fix for comparison reasons and the other 4 screenshots are my custom graphics settings I used in both of those Before and After -screenshots (pretty much all settings are on Medium). My PC's specs: CPU: Intel i5-9600K GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 (6 GB VRAM) RAM: 16GB OS: Windows 11 Platforms: EA app & Steam I have Skate. twice on my PC. One from EA app and another from Steam. And I have this same graphics bug happening in both versions of the game. My friend plays from Steam and also has this same issue. So this is not only EA app-, or Steam-, or my PC exclusive bug, so to say.
Neighbourhood Progress reset & stuck at 0 / 0
Description of the issue: Right after the Season 3 maintenance was over and I hopped in to check things out, all of my neighbourhood levels and progress got reset/bugged out. They are simply stuck at 0 / 0 and will not update or progress at all. Can't buy any product boxes either, even if it shows that I already have multiple boxes unlocked in said neighbourhood. It's been like this two weeks. Steps to trigger/reproduce the issue: Start the game as usual Look at the 0 / 0 on your current neighbourhood and wonder if all your progress gone Write bug report and hope for the best. I've seen a handful of other people post on reddit and the discord with the same issue. Still no acknowledgement as a known bug, which worries me a ton. Platform: PC (Steam) Troubleshooting steps already performed: Validated files through Steam. Reinstalled game completely. Attempted to run a few missions both old and new in every neighbourhood hoping it would fix things. No luck.
Infinite black screen while completing/starting challenges
This bug has only started happening to me after the S3 launch update. The screen turns black with no UI elements and all of my inputs are unresponsive. I have to Alt+F4 and launch the game. This has happened to me on the first challenge of the session, and it's also happened to me after a dozen challenges that were completed with no issue
Game Crash Every 8 Minutes, Sometimes Crashes Entire PC
I keep having the game crash to desktop on me without warning while playing Skate. It happens every single time, almost exactly every 8 minutes. No matter what I do—whether I change graphics settings, try different setups, or adjust anything in-game, it still crashes at the same interval. About 25% of the time, it also causes a hard crash of my entire PC (full shutdown). previous update worked fine, and was playing the day before the new update went live. I’m on the latest version of Windows 11, as of 3/19/2026 What I’ve Tried: Switched graphics settings (low, medium, high) Tried different combinations of settings Tested multiple times in different sessions Nothing stops the crash; it happens every time, consistently. My Specs: GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D RAM: 48GB at 8000 MHz Storage: NVMe SSD, ~13,000 MB/s read and write speed
Softlock Megathread [Last Updated: 09/03/2026]
Hello, fellow skaters! We continue to see reports of players getting soflocked at various points. The old thread has more than 9005 comments, and sometimes it is difficult for the team to organise and spot new issues within all the reports. That's why we have decided to open a new megathread to work on the most recent softlock issues. If you are softlocked, please provide the following information: Platform Mission/Challenge? If Mission, what step in the Mission? Can you describe how you got stuck and provide some screenshots? Username you're playing with (Gamertag, PSN ID, or EA ID - no emails. We'll assume it's the account you're posting with as well.) Please be as thorough as you can when sharing your information, as this will help the team investigate and help unstuck other players in the future. Also, in order to keep you informed, we will update this thread every week with the number of players we have unlocked. We will include a description of the issue we worked on. If you have been unlocked, please let us know. If you haven't been unlocked, please bear with us, we are working on it. __________________________________________________________________ Week [March Sun 8th - March Sat 14th] Softlocked at "Checkout the Extravert Skate Shop" mission: Players unlocked: 176 Various mission progression issues: Players unlocked: 703 Total player unlocked: 879
