How to fix no missions not working bug in Skate

Nuisance.

Missions have been a significant issue in Skate‘s early access build so far, and many players, including myself, have ended up in situations where they can’t complete them.

This is a significant hindrance for two reasons. The missions are part of the standard progression systems, and they also allow you to understand the basics. Moreover, every mission rewards you with cosmetics and resources that also remain unavailable.

Thankfully, there are a couple of workarounds to try if you have encountered the problem.

Typically, the bug is triggered after you complete a quest completely/partially. Instead of registering your progression, the game appears to be stuck. While you can move around and do any trick moves, the game fails to recognize the mission that you just completed. As a result, you’re also locked out from obtaining the rewards.

There are potentially two ways to fix the problem.

  • Press the D-pad up button and hold it for a couple of seconds. This will take you to the mission marker. You can then redo the entire quest. This is slightly problematic, but it can fix the problem on most occasions. You won’t have to restart your game.
  • The other solution is to restart the game after logging out. When you start the game again, you’ll receive the correct quest progression and rewards. This is the better thing to do if the quest that you completed was challenging in the first place. It’s better to launch a fresh instance of the game than to redo the entire quest. This will automatically fix your mission progression, and you can continue to the next one.

If both solutions fail, I am afraid the only other solution for you is to redo the entire mission. However, this has never happened (I have always opted for the first method, and it works like a charm), so the chances of encountering it are pretty low.

Sometimes, the mission progression might not save due to the server situation inside the game. On such occasions, it’s better to try again after some time, when the servers are stable and working as intended.
