Okay, joined up for the 5pm Zwift Fondo and didn’t get transported to Watopia within 5mins. Closed NYC down and logged into Watopia. No notification that its about to start nothing. 1 Min to go nothing. Great, it’s started!!! Can’t even join the Bambino event!!!
Begs the questions, why on earth are Zwift restricting the Zwift Fondo to 3 times on just one day?
Does it cost money to host more, surely over a couple of days with a few more times?
I couldn’t join either. Logged on with 11 minutes to go, and while the UK-8am Fondo was showing on the Events listing, I got a spinning circle when attempting to join it. After three minutes of that, I closed and reopened Zwift. The Fondo appeared momentarily but vanished from the Events list before I could attempt to join it. The number of participants showed at maybe 2219 the first time and 2286 the second time - given that there were 11 and 6 minutes to go respectively, this strongly suggests that a capacity limit was hit (maybe a soft limit related to server pressure rather than a hard cap). It’s the second time this year that I’ve lost out on an event - the other being a stage of the Tour de Zwift - and to the layperson it just looks as though the company aren’t investing enough of their ever-growing revenues into the basics…
