Connection Error Messages

This forum post should be a support document on the website

It should also mention any differences between pairing directly or via Companion in terms of error messages or troubleshooting steps

I’m getting “connection disconnected” in my PC for last week or so. Same has my husband who’s riding on Apple tv. Any ideas? Our internet is just fine - no problems while playing Call of Duty :wink:

It’s some kind of network problem between you and Zwift’s equipment in the Amazon us-west-2 data center. Could be a local network issue, could be somewhere else between you and the company, could be their systems getting overloaded from peak traffic. Upload a log file from the PC to zwiftalizer.com for analysis, and do the ping test on zwiftalizer. Apple TV doesn’t allow you to access logs so you’ll have to do that on the PC. I would also reboot all the local network equipment you use. In rare situations that can help as well.

me to , what is funny i was watching Shane miller live stream ride beside him, it said i got DC, still beside on his stream, watch his stream know were to put my guy and the watts , 0 riders , but i still see my self on shane miller live stream it so funny, zwift still in beta.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Apple Watch not connecting since latest February 2024 update

:"Hi, since the begining of zwift games, im not able to connect my apple watch as an heart rate… do you know something about that? I tried everything but its not working. Samething for my wife.

Any solutions?

Thanks

It’s broken as of version 1.58. There is no solution but they are planning a change in the next release that might make it work again. Apple Watch has a lot of problems working with Zwift so if you want a trouble-free solution, get a normal HRM.

I have the same problem “connection disconnected”, I notify my Wi-Fi provider, they going to check my connection. Hope they can solve the problem because i quite annoying

I consistently have issues with Zwift and my HRM talking to each other. The pairing screen says HRM is connected but it wavers between 0 bpm and No Signal. My HRM works fine because I can read it on my Wahoo app. I did a test today and discovered when I turned off my Headwind, Zwift didn’t pair with my HRM at all. I suspect therein lies the issue. When I turned the fan back on, Zwift “paired” my HRM but still couldn’t decide if I was dead or there was just no signal. When I start a session like this, the top left of my HUD says “connection failure”

Hi @Laticia_Waclawik, thanks for reaching out via this Zwift forums thread to report the connectivity issues.

I took a look at your logs server and found multiple connectivity alerts and losing connection on your heart rate monitor. Would you please, confirm you have the correct option selected for using Built-in Bluetooth, or Zwift Companion from theBluetooth Settings icon in the PAIRED DEVICES screen?
2. Turn off BLE on your device and then turn it back on again.
3. Restart Zwift and try pairing again.

If you run into consistent issues, don’t hesitate to Contact Support for more assistance!

Hi Martha I am using the built-in BLE (confirmed on-screen), though I did try connecting via ZCA and HRM wouldn’t pair at all. It appears that if I unplug/replug-in my trainer, “sometimes” I do get a reading from my HRM to display in my zHUD. Then the next time I ride, it reverts back to connected but no signal.
I’ve been trying to figure out the magic combo for getting the readout bc that’s the most inconsistent part of this. After I get one successful pairing/signal readout, I always get the paired but no signal in the following sessions if everything is left plugged in/turned on/logged in. If I have to log into Zwift, it consistently pairs/reads signal. Of course I don’t want to log out and back in every time I Zwift :wink: and I am the only person in my household who Zwifts on this setup.

Hi @Laticia_Waclawik, welcome back to Forums. I’m Juan from Zwift. Thanks for continue sharing details about your issue.

I see that you mention that the HRM works fine with the Wahoo app. Would you mind double-checking that this app isn’t trying to steal signal from your HRM? For more info about Bluetooth interference, please check this article.

If the issue persists, please contact us. We will be delighted to help you.

Oh yes, to clarify, I never run the Wahoo app while I Zwift. I only use it when I cannot get Zwift to display my HR during a ride where I need to keep any eye on it, like when climbing :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Laticia
