I know this is a recurring bug. Last I saw it documented was back in November '22. My avatar is much closer to the bottom of the screen than it is supposed to be in camera 1 view (third person). It looks nearly identical to the camera 2 view (third person short). It doesn’t always do this, but I’ve noticed it when joining a robopacer (almost like the avatar gets stuck in the pedal-assist view, which looks like camera 2). It also occurs during a free ride. Oddly, it looks normal during races. I’m on the most recent version of the game, MacOS, and have Zwift Play connected.
I tried again tonight. I didn’t join any event/race but if I save or discard a ride and start again I will get to the close up third person bug.
But when I close the app all together and enter a climb portal. It is back to normal camera 1 and when I finished and changed bike to descent … it is back to close up again
