Antivirus alerts
ReSkate loads ReSkate.dll into the game process and modifies memory, which can trigger security software. The community often calls these false positives, but do not disable all protection on that say-so. If you exclude anything, exclude only the ReSkate folder, and only if you downloaded from the official source.
Download only from official sources
Use the GitHub Releases page and avoid third-party repacks. The source code is public, so you can review it or build it yourself with Visual Studio 2022 and CMake.
Steam account safety
The launcher may ask you to sign in to Steam to verify and download the supported game build, by QR code or username with Steam Guard. Never enter Steam credentials on a website or in a tool you did not get from the official release.
Crash reports and privacy
The README states that a crash may upload a minidump and logs. You can disable crash reporting in the launcher's advanced settings.
Mod safety
Mods change game data. Install mods you trust, prefer widely downloaded ones from the skate mod directory, and never run unknown .dll, .exe or script files. Custom Lua scripts are switched off in the current version.
Terms of service and legal
Limits to keep in mind
- ReSkate works with one game build at a time, so game updates can break it until ReSkate updates.
- It is community maintained, with no official support.
- You still need your own copy of skate. on Steam.
