Reskate not working
Update to the latest GitHub release first, and start the game with PLAY in the launcher. If it still fails, use the case that matches what you see.
DLL deleted or blocked by antivirus
Windows Security can quarantine ReSkate.dll or the launcher. Open Protection history, find ReSkate, and choose Restore. You can add an exclusion only for the files from the GitHub release after the hash matches the hash on that release. Then run the launcher again from the empty folder.
Black screen or blank screen
Update to the latest release first. If you just installed or removed a mod, open the Insert menu and apply the mods again. If you loaded a custom map and then joined a server on another map, the screen can stay black. Load the server's map first. That case is issue 31.
Version mismatch or unsupported game build
Do not put ReSkate inside Steam's skate. folder. The launcher keeps its own copy of the game build it supports. Let it verify the files and download anything missing. Do not replace that copy with the newest Steam build. See the latest release notes on GitHub.
Antivirus false positive
A warning on a file from the GitHub release, with a matching hash, is the false positive described in the README. Restore it from Protection history. If the warning is on a file from any other site, delete it and download again from the release page.
Launcher won't start or Steam sign-in fails
If the launcher says it cannot run from Steam's skate. folder, move ReSkateLauncher.exe and ReSkate.dll into a new empty folder and start them there. Sign in only in that window, with a QR code or with your username and Steam Guard. On Linux and macOS, use the launch option in the install guide. Pressing Play on skate. in Steam on Windows starts the normal game, without ReSkate.
Mods not loading
Outdated mods, or mods that cannot merge, are skipped. The launcher names them. The other mods still load. Turn the broken ones off in the Insert menu MODS tab, or update them from GET MODS, then apply again.
Still stuck?
Open a GitHub issue with the template. Include the ReSkate version shown in your launcher, when it happened, what you were doing, and logs\ReSkate.log from beside Skate.exe. Do not paste a version number from this site. The release page is the source.
