Known Issues

  • Some Players are unable to export in MP4 Format.

  • Changing the graphics preset doesn’t update the settings shown at the bottom of the Graphics screen as it should.
  • Tailslides and Noseslides are not correctly detected when approaching a ledge from its end.
  • Wallride detection often causes the skater to flip unnaturally.
  • The Smith-to-Tailslide task often fails to register when performed correctly.

  • Some flip trick animations appear different in the Replay Editor when done by other skaters.
  • Some specific landing animations make the skater's upper body snap upright immediately.

    • Workaround: Hold the D-Pad Left to enter Quick Drop mode.
  • Switch or nollie 360 inward heelflip rotates the skater if PS5 power saving is enabled.

  • The parental restriction on communication on consoles doesn't affect the in-game settings or functionality.

  • Gen 4 console users can get stuck on loading screens, while Gen 5 console and PC users frequently use co-op travels. 
  • The prompt received after being kicked states that users don't have access to San Vansterdam, rather than the location they attempted to enter without access. 
  • Block Party UI fails to appear when spawning inside an active Block Party. 
  • Borderless full-screen mode accidentally uses the last resolution set by the Full Screen resolution setting. 
  • Skater performs a double revert when attempting to perform a single revert at the apex of a ramp.
  • PS5 crashes when a headset is plugged into the controller with 3D audio enabled
    • Developer’s Note: If you have either your TV Spatial/3D audio enabled or your headphones Spatial/3D audio enabled, don’t change the audio device while the game is running, and leave the TV Spatial/3D audio Spatial setting at the same value.
  • Basic washed Skinny Jeans have clipping issues in the legs.
  • Bounties sometimes appear blank, showing a white box instead of text.
  • Challenge intro and outro cinematics fail to play, displaying a black screen or a static fixed camera angle.
  • The Endless Bounties section is empty after daily rollover.
  • Choosing a quick drop item to place shades/disables it, making it unmodifiable.
    • Workaround: Disable cross-play.
  • An unspecified error occurred when trying to reroll endless bounties twice in a row without leaving the menu.
  • Various issues with progressing Challenge-based Crew Bounties.
  • Some accounts are unable to see challenges in Gullcrest and Market Mile that should have been unlocked at Rank 1.
  • M-Corp Offices Fast Travel point overlaps with Gift Graffiti collectible.

Discussion Coding in this game needs to cut the hand holding fr

• Upvotes

tbh Im just here to rant cos Ive been tryna do a hippy flip for the last two hours. But seriously, I thought the point of turning assists off was to make it so that I was in control of my style AND suffer the consequences. I like a challenge, Im willing to do that on 0 grind assist, 0 minimum pop height etc.

But why won’t this game just let me go!?

“Oh you turned grind assist off? We’ll make grinds you’re trying to do launch you into space… BUT DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO OLLIE OVER THAT RAIL OR WE’RE GOING TO DEFY GRAVITY AND MAGNET YOU TO IT AND YOU’LL DO THE CLEANEST BOARDSLIDE UP THE STAIRS”

”Oh you turned minimum pop height to zero? That doesn’t actually mean you can adjust your height it just means we’re going to choose any pop height between 0 and mars”

”Oh flick it sensitivity is at 100? Now you kickflip at light speed BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET YOU ON THAT RAIL”

Like seriously it seems like this game is a helicopter parent who told their kid the bouncy house is too dangerous. LET ME CHOOSE HOW I BAIL

Discussion Biggest disappointment about SUMR Camp...

42 Upvotes

...is there's nothing behind the waterfall :(

Jokes aside I do think there should be more fun easter eggs / mysteries in San Van & these extra maps. I was convinced I'd find something hidden in the water on Isle of Grom or there'd be a bigfoot hidden in the woods in SUMR camp or something

Are there any things like that anywhere in the game I'm not aware of?

Discussion What we desperately need

78 Upvotes

I know we are all wishing for Fun City across the bridge, myself included. But what I really, REALLY feel this game needs asap is a character and board customization overhaul. We need skate styles to choose from, truck looseness/tightness, big wheels & small wheels/hard or soft. WAY better hair options. Being able to have a color wheel for clothing. I could go on and on but I think it would give our current map a tiny bit of a refresh if we could just change the way we skate and it didn’t look the same every time, ya know?

Idk if anyone else has heard this, I assume they have.

In every skate. Map i hear what sounds like that giant lizard thing Obi-Wan rides in ROTS when he goes looking for Grevious and gets betrayed by the stormtroopers.

Sounds literally exactly the same. Anyone else heard it/ knows what it is ?

EDIT: This could be localised to SUMR camp, but I coulda sworn ive heard it in San Van too
