Does anyone else have their route cancelled by a robopacer?

[Shad_Holland (Shad)]

The last couple of rides I have been on where I select a route, when I am passed by a Robopacer my route immediately gets cancelled. Pretty annoying. This wasn’t an issue before, but I haven’t used Zwift all summer and it seems something changed.

Issue losing route

The last 2 times I had a route selected and was riding, as soon as a pace rider and group passed me I lost my route. It’s almost like it assumes I joined the pace group when I didn’t and they simply passed me. It was frustrating today because I was doing the longer foothills ride, like 45ish miles,…

what do you mean by cancelled?

you should still carry on the route you had selected but the progress bar changes to the drop multiplier (kind of annoying and i have mentioned it before) but when/if the robopacer takes a different turn or passes you and you get dropped the progress bar should return and you should remain on the route you selected.

I am not new to Zwift. I know how it is supposed to work and it’s not working the way it should. My last 2 rides never returned after the Robopacer went away. I didn’t even try to follow the pacer as it was going too fast for my pace. Then when it and the group following it we’re long gone I kept riding and waiting for my progress bar to return and it never did.

I kept riding and waiting for my progress bar to return and it never did.

but did you stay on the selected route and the progress bar is just missing?

[Shad_Holland (Shad)]

So someone told me that if I have steering, which I do, Zwift did an update that allows the route to be selected using steering. That wasn’t a feature before and steering only allowed you to move side to side within a lane.

If this update is the case, then I can’t use steering when I select a route or I risk accidentally making a trunk and leaving the route.

Anyone else know more about this?

Route Lock / Sticky Routes

Currently, when you are riding on a route, you still have the option to make a turn off-route. Once you have taken a turn off-route there’s no easy way of getting back on route. When you combine this with the fact that some routes are really long (eg PRL, uber pretzel), the fact that it takes one mi…

I think you are quite right regarding the steerer. I have been moved off my route several times and today I chose the “Peak Performance” route, specifically to try out “The Grade” for an FTP. I didn’t get anywhere close to it as Zwift sent me on a completely different route, most likely caused by the steerer. It’s very frustrating to understate it! It does appear that we have to stop using the steerer. I’m using Elite’s Sterzo.

Change the Intersection Controls setting.

Also, you may want to put off Peak Performance until after another update.

Completed route still shows as incomplete

Not sure if this is just me or if it’s been reported already I did the new peak performance route earlier, the route badge shows on the activity and in the achievement panel, but the companion app still lists it as in completed. Companion app on iPad and Zwift app on atv are both fully updated, I’…

Thank you. Most helpful.

I’ll take your advice on Peak Performance also!

Al the best,
