I have another problem today on the workout “the gorby”.
It was impossible to keep 220w. Very strong.

Thanks for Help please
Just happened for the first time, using Zwift for about 3 mos. finished a workout, I wanted to ride extra, and it was stuck in erg mode at 50W going up a steep hill. I have had self imposed issues in the past with multiple devices competing for the trainer’s Bluetooth connection, Wahoo educated me about that, there was definitely NO other device connecting to the trainer.
Trainer: Kickr Core
Zwift device: iPhone 7, iOS 12.1.2
Zwift connection: BLE
Companion app device: iPhone 8, iOS 12.1.2 - WiFi only, Bluetooth radio turned off
Erg mode in workout, the problem is when it should be switching into sim after workout is complete
Having the same problem as described above.
Trainer: Kickr Core Firmware 1.06
Device with Zwift App: Windows 10 Notebook

I have the same problems. During a workout there is no response of the Tacx.

Hey all, we’ve been monitoring these issues and are investigating. As said before there doesn’t seem to be a pattern in trainers or devices so it’s something we’re still looking into. Thank you for commenting in this thread but please remember to send in a support inquiry as well.

ERG mode or SIM: ERG
Wattage not changing between intervals (sometimes) and after the workout ends remains in ERG mode. I have noticed that getting stuck at a certain wattage is more likely to happen if I change the training power bias up or down.

Erg mode.
During a workout got stuck displaying 85W. Tried shifting, different cadences, unpairing and pairing trainer, shutting down and reopening the companion app, all while still in the workout. Unplugging and plugging the trainer power back in solved it.
Happens to me with my flux 2 , k have to turn everything off after using erg mode and then back on again to reset it for free ride very odd and how do I fix it ?

Wahoo Kickr, Mac Mini using Bluetooth 4.0, ERG mode invoked during a ride, does not always happen, has only happened at end of workout
Tried the “remove power smoothing” trick. Good news–no more getting stuck. Bad news–ERG struggled to keep up with my lack of smoothness, especially at low wattages (actually failed a 3-minute low wattage block with ERG on). Reengaged smoothing and ERG maintained steady wattage. No sticking at low wattage. Have to try higher wattage yet.
Same here, interval power target not set for a while (say 10-15 secs), or remaining at high power after the interval (that just kills your legs and motivation, and the whole workout if short bursts)
When stopping pedaling ERG will stop, and re-engage when i start pedaling again.
I wonder if the signal to the turbo trainer is suffering from interference and not picked up by the trainer? Thanks for solving, as am starting to look for alternatives, despite I love Zwift a lot.
I have had this issue already whole last year

High wattages stick again w/ smoothing, and today NOTHING works. Kickr won’t maintain wattages under load, intermittent ERG sticks in free ride (no ERG engaged), just a nightmare after working ok yesterday. Maybe the trainer? Reverting to dumb trainer for now. Aaargh!! (tried omitting smoothing, no dice today)

Certainly not the trainer. Got a replacement Kickr, same issues, generally at higher wattages (170-180+, no issues lower than this), and most often if the effort being put out is close to what was done during the ERG block OR if the road inclination is the same as in the block (like climbing the Epic climb, and continuing after the ERG block is done).
This happened to me in 2 or the past 3 races I’ve done. Power was stuck at 153 for last 10 minutes of one race and today at 242 for last 5 miles or so. This is very frustrating and not like I want to stop an hour into a race that only lasted another 20 minutes or so.

Hi Josh - Thanks for reporting this. Since you were in a race, this sounds like a different issue from what was originally mentioned in this thread. If you’re still running into this issue, please send a message to Zwift support and we can look into this further.

-intervals. fine for high wattage, but when the set break interval arrives, I get stuck at high wattage, resulting in spiral of death.

Trainer has correct watts at beginning of workout but fails to adjust until I stop pedalling, switch apps and come back, start pedalling and it goes to new watt interval. Won’t decrease watts after interval unless I do this workaround
This has happened to me a couple of times

FTP test, entering rest phase, flat (0% to 1%) trainer stuck on maximum resistance. Only restart of trainer helped in that case.
