Bug or Feature? Holographic Replay/Other Player Holograph Appears

Hi, I’ve noticed that when I am riding, at times there is another personal’s holographic who apepars when I pass an important point. For example, tonight I did a brief ride on Tempus Fugit. I have not been on Zwift for a couple of month (summer break). At some point, perhaps when I started the Fuego Flats segment, someone else’s Holographic Replay/Ghost/PR Bot showed up and then disappeared when I got to the Fuego Flats arch.

Is this a bug or a feature? As It think this through I could see that it is a feature if you don’t have a recent PR. I looked at the log and saw a function called: GetOtherPlayerPlaybackPr and wondered if that what brings up another rider. As you can see from this log snipped, GetOtherPlayerPlaybackPr was executed after I started Fuego Flats, so the timing is right.

It’s a feature. You can turn it off in settings.

Hi Paul, thank you very much for your helpful reply, and the info. Before I posted, I searched the forum for info using the term” holographic replay”.
I see that the term to use now is “HoloReplay”
