Skate error code 1478078408 generally points to a connection or launch issue, often stating “connection lost failed to connect to EA services.”
Here are the top reliable solutions based on user and expert sources:
Common Causes
Network issues or unstable internet connection
Outdated game version or required update
Conflicts from having an old “skate.CPT” build installed alongside the full release
Occasional EA server-side problems, especially after a major update or influx of users
🔧 Possible fixes
Here are things people have tried that sometimes work:
Check account linkage.
Make sure your EA Account is correctly linked to whatever platform you are using (PC, PlayStation, Xbox). Sometimes the wrong linkage (or no linkage) causes authentication to fail.
Uninstall / reinstall related components.
For instance, in one case the error was happening because Skate CPT was reinstalled when it shouldn’t have been. Uninstalling it fixed the problem.
Reinstall the game.
People have tried deleting the game completely (all installation folders), then reinstalling it to another disk/folder, but that didn’t always help.
Restart everything / clear cache.
Fully restart your system
Close EA’s launcher/app/client, make sure its background services are running
If possible, clear the launcher’s cache
Ensure your internet connection is stable.
Verify EA server status.
Since this error is about connecting to EA services, if EA is having server downtime or maintenance, waiting sometimes helps.
Check for updates / patches.
Make sure your game, the EA app/launcher, and your platform firmware are all updated. Sometimes compatibility fixes are pushed later.
These steps address nearly all reported cases of error 1478078408 in Skate.
