Game Crashing on Launch
Playing on Xbox one, was never an issue 2 weeks ago but since the update it doesn't get past the loading screen and crashes to dashboard. Tried literally everything in the book, even reset MAC settings to no avail. I'm on my 7th re install to try again (update; nothing worked) EA, do you guys ever try and make things better for users, or do you make things progressively difficult for users on purpose? Back to skate 2 I go! My feedback is this; Actually listen to user feedback and don't assume you think you know best, because judging by your Xbox reviews and ps reviews, you clearly don't. (2.8/5 for such a pre hyped game, shows immediate failure)Feedback and Suggestions
I have been playing Skate. for a few days, and I have enjoyed it, particularly completing challenges with other people online. I wanted to make some suggestions that I think would be fun or helpful. Map and Locations I think the map and the player's compass could use cardinal directions (North, South, East and West). It would be helpful for navigation and this is the first game I have played with the compass system (like Skyrim, etc.) that does not include cardinal directions. It would be fun to have NPCs of different ages walking around town. Like children and the elderly. I like the NPC reactions to nearly hitting them, but it would be fun if once in a while you could knock them over. This is a thought I had, but I always look in the food trucks to see if anyone is working. I think it would be fun to see some NPC workers and customers in some of them. One of the funnest NPC locations is on the pier where everyone is sitting on the benches that you can grind and they all run away. But that is the only funny location with NPCs I have found. I like to explore, and a fun system to implement might be to find secret trophies/challenge points in obscure locations -- like Goat Simulator. Music I like collecting music at the speakers. I wish the music menu would be more clear on which playlists and songs I have discovered, and maybe 'unknown' markers for playlists and songs I have not yet found. It is fun to collect and find new music. So far, the selection of music is fun. I do wonder if all the 'Beach Boys' style stuff is AI generated, however. I would prefer music created by contemporary and historical musicians rather than AI if that is the case. The music player controls could use a previous and next button. Both times I wanted to favorite a song, it had already passed and there was no way to find which song it was until it looped back around. The music player should understand that when it is paused or stopped that it needs to stay paused or stopped. If one wants to listen to their own music at home, the game restarts its own music at the beginning of each challenge, and sometimes just because a speaker nearby starts playing. I am a big fan of classical music. As a nitpick the Opera Buffo music collection is actually all Opera Seria and I actually think the choices on the playlist are difficult to skate to. The death sequence from Don Giovanni where he is dragged to hell by demons is a bold choice to put on there. If you need suggestions on opera songs that have a good beat to skate to, I can help. Some examples: Handel - "Dopo Notte" from Ariodante, "Or la tromba" from Rinaldo Vivaldi - "Agitata da due venti" from Griselda, "Or che cinto ho il crin d'alloro" from Il Giustino Mozart - "Marten aller arten" from Die Entführung aus dem Serail, "Non piu andrai" from The Marriage of Figaro. Bizet - ""Les tringles des sistres tintaient" (Gypsy song) from Carmen Sullivan - "I am the very model of a modern major general" from The Pirates of Penzance Clothing I would like my male character to have shirtless and open shirt options influenced by the Z-boys and the Lords of Dogtown. They always had some 70s style that included no shirt, or no shoes, but often did have skate pads. I know Elder scrolls online provides female equivalents to the male costumes with what are essentially sports bras. It would be fun to have tattoo and tattoo placement options even if just relegated to six places such as Left Arm, Right Arm, Chest, Back, Left Leg, Right Leg. The 80s fashion is fun. It would be nice to see 70s fashion like the Z-boys. I am sure you will get to it in time. Formal fashion would be cute, like suits and ties or ballgowns -- which would be funny to mix with board shorts. The game provides fashion that is distinctly fashionable, and it might be fun to have some things that are distinctly not -- such as straw hats, overalls, a diaper, a cape, onesie, etc. Dyed hair options would be fun. Gameplay The daily and weekly tasks often do not register as being complete. This can be frustrating for more difficult achievements. There doesn't seem to be a location for players to join teams with strangers. I have not had difficulty forming teams, but it would be nice if there was a zone where players could match up. I enjoy that the fast travel points open through progression and that the tall building points come with later levels. I think that encourages exploration. I would like to be able to grab on to cars in the style of Back to the Future.What’s with the clothes
Can we get some normal straight legged pants in the game maybe some actual cool shirts. Everything is baggy or capris. I’m tired of wearing shorts. Also why is there so much girl clothes. Where’s all the guy clothes at. All the clothes they’ve put out are completely wack! Put skate clothes on there. If they could add a college or school to skate as well. That’d be dope!
Map & Enviroment Fixes
Hedgemont: Issue: Incorrect surface material Detail: The curved bank surface has a "grass" like material assigned, while the surrounding area is concrete. Video: https://streamable.com/5dnwb6 Issue: Vertex overshoot Detail: A vertex from the ground is overextended past the ledge. The overhang is partially hidden by backface culling from the ground level. Issue: UV stretching Detail: Stretching caused by a missing UV. Issue: Flipped normal Detail: Flipped normal on a spraypaint prop causing backface culling. Issue: Floating light pole prop. Fix: Reposition prop to match terrain. BackBug ? Idk

White Slip-Ons Issue: The color appears closer to an "off-white" or "cream" tone when compared against true white assets such as socks. White Mid Tops Issue: The color appears closer to an "off-white" or "cream" tone when compared against true white assets such as socks. White Bucket Hat Issue: The color appears closer to an "off-white" or "cream" tone when compared against true white assets such as t-shirts. Gonz 6Panel Solid Cap Issue: The texture uses DXT5 compression resulting in visible artifacts and color blotching. Black Slip-ons Issue: The texture uses DXT5 compression resulting in visible artifacts and color blotching. Black Grip Color Issue: The griptape issue is subtle, but it contains saturated values that become noticeable after compression and mipmapping. Reindeer Interior Issue: This grip color has no normal map. The specular map also seems to mimic the bottom of the board. Back
Hit It, Hold It Seasonal Challenge not possible
The Hit It, Hold It Seasonal Challenge is not actually possible to complete with the default Allowed Fall Height setting. After many attempts to jump from one roof down to the other into the roll-in I would crater every time no matter how good an angle I had on the landing into the transition. After some feelings of frustration, I decided to test if changing the Allowed Fall Height setting would actually make it work. Lo and behold, it in fact allows the first jump to be possible every time. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not but I'd imagine that challenge is supposed to be possible regardless of if you have Allowed Fall height set to the max setting or default of 1 (The 0 setting makes most heights high enough have you bail or crash). Hope this tip helps anybody struggling and also hope that the devs are aware and able to fix it. Thanks!Skate 4 Brickswich SLS Style Competition (100 players)
