skate. Update 0.29.5 Patch Notes: Settings Resets, Community Parks, and UI Changes
skate. update 0.29.5 arrives with bug fixes for graphics settings resets, invisible player glitches, and UI layout adjustments. The patch also introduces natural wood tones to Community Parks ahead of the winter holiday event.
The 0.29.5 patch for skate. lands to resolve post-launch bugs from Season 2 alongside minor quality-of-life adjustments. Alongside bug fixes for crashing, audio/visual glitches, and persistent settings reverts, developers have rolled out infrastructural updates to San Van.
Gameplay and Community Park Aesthetics
Community Parks shift to natural wood tones for improved visual appeal. This aesthetic will temporarily transition for the Winter Rollstice holiday event from December 16 to January 14 before returning to the default wood tones. Gameplay changes include routine infrastructure maintenance in San Van, the ability to properly perform Fakie Slappies, and fixes for challenges where timers failed to work.
Cosmetics and UI Updates
The Down Low Product Box cosmetic changes out the Peach Puree Cargoes for Brown Tie-Dye Jeans. In the UI, the Quick Drop menu gains a new Interactive category housing items like the bouncy Quick Drop umbrella, which previously sat under Props.
Bug Fixes and Stability
A wide variety of stability and performance fixes address critical bugs. Settings no longer mistakenly revert to default after restarting the game, and the Grind Assist setting stays put rather than resetting to 100. Other fixes resolve skin complexions on specific graphics settings, visual flickering on Low Preset settings, missing Rip Card buttons, laggy or slow-motion video exports, and an issue where other players turned invisible until a restart. Finally, a bug causing black screens and map-falling exploits after finishing challenges or teleporting has been resolved.
Why this patch matters
Update 0.29.5 tackles some of the most frustrating quality-of-life snags in skate., particularly settings reverting on restart and player invisibility glitches.
