Black Squares Game [1.40] [1.41]

I first saw this in 1.40.0 but I haven’t been offered 1.42.0 yet.

Hadn’t seen this before today, got the 1.42 update this afternoon and now the confetti that comes up when people get a new PR is black boxes.

On PC/Laptop with a 2070.

Happened to me first time today during a run, never before. On 1.42 on Windows 10.

+1 Same issue for me.

Shaders issue?

Hi guys I’m still struggling on the forum so sending this here
I just updated to 1.42 and rode Makuri 40 , my mini map is over zooming as I have seen posted and I’m getting black squares again but when it’s confetti not dirt as before and some were a single large square, I attach a photo

I noticed on today’s ride that whenever somebody set a record triggering on-screen confetti, it shows up as black confetti and some of the confetti shows up as random relatively large black squares/rectangles which black out whatever they cover.

This just started occurring since last ver update. I have changed no settings and everything else seen on the display is as normal. Anybody else seeing this?

edit: I should point out that for me the black squares go away once the confetti stops. Only happens with confetti and happens every time confetti is thrown.

This is due to be fixed in the next update.

Confirmed by Zwift staff.

start having this issue on version 1.41
version 1.42 still also having this issue.
At first I thought it was my resolution is to high.

This is fixed in the next version as noted in the post directly above yours.

UPDATE June 28
Zwift version 1.43 resolves this issue, and is rolling out in phases over the next couple of days. Please update when it’s available to you.

Evidently 1.43 (Zwift Update Version 1.43 (114012) Released | Zwift Insider) makes yet another attempt to remove these black squares: “Black squares that appear in dusty conditions have been banished.”

not sure I understand the point of your message?

Are you saying they haven’t been?

Not seen it myself on my one ride post 1.43 but it’s been reported as still not fixed…… :face_with_peeking_eye::smirk:

I’ve also heard people talking about this not being fixed in 1.43 but haven’t seen them.myself and I was getting them in 1.42.

Not sure if it is related to this but got this today

Still happening in France (on macOS). This is a longstanding issue that (almost?) always happens in this particular location.

Looks like it might be something to do with the start of the bridge or cobbles? I’d there a bit of gravel/first there normally?

I only saw the black squares where there should have been dust flying
