Known Issues Still Being Investigated:

The team addressed a lot of bugs with Update 0.31.5, so check the patch notes if you haven’t.

  • Some Players are unable to export in MP4 Format.

  • Workaround PC ONLY: Using WebM format when exporting works.

  • Pinned tasks do not remain pinned when the game reconnects after inactivity.

  • Changing the graphics preset doesn’t update the settings shown at the bottom of the Graphics screen as it should.

  • The option to select between a 16:9 centered HUD and a full-width-and-height UI is present but non-functional in Windowed mode.

  • Daily and Mastery Task sections sometimes display a blank screen.

  • Quick Drop radial menu resets temporarily after joining the server.

  • AMD driver 26.6.1 is causing skate. to crash.

  • Workaround: Roll back your drivers to 26.5.2 and restart skate.

  • Tailslides and Noseslides are not correctly detected when approaching a ledge from its end.

  • The friends list sometimes displays multiple entries of the same friend or none at all.

  • Wallride detection often causes skater to flip unnaturally.

  • The Smith-to-Tailslide task often fails to register when performed correctly.

  • The wrong item spawns when you use the Quick Drop menu to place something.
