skate. Update 0.29.6 Fixes Resolution and Progression Bugs

skate. update 0.29.6 delivers technical fixes across all platforms, resolving progression locks tied to subtitles and fixing unintended resolution drops.

A technical client update for skate. is rolling out across all platforms without scheduled downtime, targeting critical display and progression errors.

Display and Progression Fixes

The patch resolves a progression halt triggered when subtitles were turned off. It also fixes display bugs that unintentionally forced resolution down to 480p or locked PlayStation 5 hardware at 640p.

San Van Performance Adjustments

San Van performance is protected by a fix for Quick Drop item limits, preventing excessive placement from degrading frame rates. Additional fixes address missing skater sound effects, voice over IP crackling, broken skater lighting, and disappearing boards in menus.

Why this patch matters

Update 0.29.6 acts as a direct maintenance patch, cleaning up troublesome console resolution errors and subtitle progression blocks.
