From time to time my avatar has its own mind. Keeps hugging theouter edge of the road on Makuri map or otherwise the center line. It comes on in Middle of the event, sometimes it sorts itself out few minutes later, most of the time it stays that way. Any solutions to this. Or do I just take my avatar aside and ask him nicely Not to do this again. Cheers ---

Have you got a steering device paired, e.g. Play controllers? ---

Hi Steve! Thanks for quick reply. Yes I do use the Zwift controllers. Mostly steering isnโ€™t any problem at all. But from now and than, my avatar starts hugging the side or middle lane. Whilst on group ride or race, I donโ€™t get any draft. If I just ride a or doing a workout, it doesnโ€™t bother me. Yesterday it came on right from the start ( MAAP) towards the end of the event everything was working fine again. This morning wa the opposite, fine at first about after about 40 min into it, he hugged the line again. Steering away and let go of the steering button, heโ€˜S straight back to it.

Hi Steve! Just been on Zwift for 90 min. This time steering worked fine. Thatโ€™s the best of problems, the ones which fix themselves. Cheers Rob ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น ---

Good morning! Well after the Calebration, my avatar was at it again, except, that he hugged the middle of the road of oncoming traffic. Guess heโ€™s practicing becoming an angel ๐Ÿ˜‡. And on top of it, by the way it happened yesterday as well my screen froze. So had to shut down pc and restart everything. Iโ€™m on a Mac book. Run now updates, re calebrate and try again Cheers Rob ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น ---
