Question 1

Do I need to own skate. to play on a ReSkate server?

Accepted Answer

Every player needs skate. on Steam — it is free to play — plus the ReSkate launcher. The server does not: it is a native Linux ReSkate server that runs without any copy of the game, so there is nothing for you to buy or install on our side.

Question 2

Why can’t I see my server, or why do I get a version mismatch?

Accepted Answer

A ReSkate server must run the same ReSkate release as its players. Ours update themselves to the latest release whenever they are empty and on every restart, so if you see a version mismatch, restart your server and make sure your own ReSkate launcher is up to date. The ReSkate browser also only lists servers with a Steam game server login token — Connect creates one for every server, so yours is listed from the first boot. Search for it by name in Multiplayer > Servers, or join with its join code.

Question 3

Is this an official ReSkate or skate. server?

Accepted Answer

No. ReSkate is a free, open-source (GPL-3.0) community project, and Connect Hosting is not affiliated with Electronic Arts, Full Circle or the ReSkate team. We run the ReSkate dedicated server on our own hardware and look after it for you.

Question 4

Can I add custom maps and park mods?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload them into the Mods folder with the file manager or SFTP and restart. Maps in Thunderstore-named folders are offered to players automatically when they join, park mods are spawned by the server, and you can put custom maps into the map rotation or let players vote on them.

Question 5

How many players can join?

Accepted Answer

Crew holds 16 players, Session 32, Park 64 and City 128. ReSkate itself allows up to 249, but our plans stop at 128. Plans are priced by player slots because a ReSkate server is light — the number of players is the choice that matters.

Question 6

How do I make someone an admin?

Accepted Answer

ReSkate has admin roles: give a player admin by their SteamID64 with the role command (role <SteamID64> admin) from your server console. Admins can moderate the server; you can also reserve slots so regulars always get in.

Question 7

Does the server keep up with ReSkate updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReSkate updates often, and players cannot join a server on a different release. Your server installs the newest ReSkate release by itself whenever it is empty and on every restart, so it stays on the release your players have.

Question 8

Can I keep the server private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set a server password and only players who know it can join. A welcome message, reserved slots, AFK kick and the chat word filter help you run a public server too.

Question 9

Where are ReSkate servers hosted?

Accepted Answer

In our EU, US and other regions — pick the one closest to most of your players at checkout. Every region runs on the same network with DDoS protection. Players connect over Steam’s relay network, so they find and join your server the same way wherever it is.

Question 10

How is ReSkate hosting billed?

Accepted Answer

Monthly, by player slots, with no setup fee and no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
