Riding with Robo Pacer Bernie in France, after some time, the frame-rate gets choppy, riderless bikes were evident, followed by a total lockup. I stopped riding, used the Companion App to “stop/save” and let it sit. System took about 10 minutes to eventually save the ride.
Bugs started after the 1.43.x to 1.44.0 update.
Setup:
ATV4K, 128GB (2022)
tvOS 16.5 (20L563)
Zwift app version 1.44.0
Tacx NEO2T, Polar H10 HRM, both with up-to-date firmware, both connected directly to Zwift via BLE.
HRM and trainer broadcasting via ANT+ in parallel to an Edge 840 bike computer. (this has never caused issues in past - trainer not paired as “controllable” to the bike computer so it’s not stepping on Zwift)
Android phone (Google Pixel 5) running Companion for control, not bridging (latest OS & app)
Rode approx. 61km with RoboPacer, no evidence of choppiness.
Sprinted to “Pavé Sprint” achieving a PR. Immediately on crossing arch, getting confetti, game exhibited choppiness, quickly locking up, same symptoms as previously experienced.
New symptom: sensors dropped out momentarily (5, 10 seconds?) after the PR - no power, HR, speed/cad visible above
I have the same bug racing with a robo pacer bot in France with newest Apple TV. It’s simply unrideable. Would be nice if Zwift support gives us a first technical evaluation please.
No ATV issues with the latest update here, but I did belatedly realise that the reason why my saves were so slow was because it was uploading video highlights every time…
This same thing has been happening to me on my ATV4K over the last couple of months while riding with Robo Pacers in France (and previously in Makuri Isl). Oddly, never had issues in Watopia.
Recently reinstalled the Zwift app “from scratch”. I’ve only done one ride in France since and didn’t have any issues, but will need more testing to know for sure. Hope the issue is resolved as Zwift becomes totally unrideable when this happens.
Yep, this is happening to a bunch of folks in my club using different ATV models and not even with Robopacers, just casual rides or races. Plus, companion dropping sensors connections, turbo control is choppy, etc…Something is going wrong since the ZwiftPlay came in…
This happened to me a number of times.
During TDF, i was using the PP in France quite a bit and every time id experience mad glitching, exactly as orignal poster puts it.
Id quit the ride as completely unplayable and start again in Watopia and absolutely fine there
