Skate Known Issues And How To Fix Them

by

The new Skate game from EA, the first in fifteen years, had a successful launch this week, attracting over two million players in its first day. Because the game is still in early access and not fully finished, players have been experiencing some problems. EA and the game’s developer, Full Circle, have now shared a list of these known issues and offered solutions where they can.

Full Circle recently released version 0.27.7, which fixes several problems players reported. This update specifically resolves a bug that was blocking progress in certain areas of the game.

Full Circle recently resolved a problem that was causing players to get stuck in a continuous loading screen, and they’ve also improved cross-play functionality and overall server stability.

Below, you’ll find a summary of known problems and temporary fixes, as reported by EA and Full Circle. Keep in mind this isn’t a complete list – it only includes the most common and critical issues.
