🔍 What is Error 3538134294?
Several players report that after launching the game and pressing “Start,” the game shows “configuring…” for ~30 seconds and then gives Error 3538134294.

So this error is likely related to server connectivity, configuration failures, or corrupted local data.
🛠️ What you can try to fix it
Here’s a list of steps — try them one by one and see which helps:
Step | What to Do | Why It Might Help |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Restart everything | Reboot your console/PC and router/modem. | Clears temporary glitches or bad connections. |
| 2. Check server status | See if Skate servers / EA services are down via EA’s status page or community forums. | If servers are down, no local fix will work. |
| 3. Use wired connection | If on Wi-Fi, try a wired Ethernet connection. | Reduces packet loss and improves stability. |
| 4. Clear local cache / data | On PC: clear cache, temporary files, reinstall the client. On consoles: clear cache or saved data (if allowed). | Corrupt files often trigger “configuration” failures. |
| 5. Update game & client | Make sure the game and EA/Steam/launcher are up to date. | Developer patches may fix connectivity bugs. |
| 6. Disable VPN / Proxy / Firewall | Turn off VPNs, proxies, strict firewalls that might block EA servers. | Game may not connect if routed improperly. |
| 7. Reinstall | Uninstall Skate, then install again, preferably on a different drive if possible. | Ensures fresh files and correct configurations. |
| 8. Contact EA Support | If none of the above work, open a ticket with EA. Include your error code, platform, logs. | They can see server‑side issues or your account status. |
Users from regions like Australia report this issue more frequently, possibly due to regional server traffic or outages. The error is frustrating but typically not due to local device settings alone.
Additional troubleshooting may include disabling third-party software interfering with the game, reinstalling EA AntiCheat, and renaming the Skate folder in the AppData local directory as a last resort (backup saved data first).
