Since mid October 2023, any Zwift rides that sync to Strava, Garmin or downloaded as a .fit file have the wrong activity date. For example, the ride I did this morning 8th Nov 23, show the correct date in Zwift, but has appeared in my Strava feed as the 27th October 2023. The fit file also has the date of the 27th October 2023. The ride name, time and distance are all correct.
The only pattern I can see is that the Zwift ride previous to 8th Nov was on the 27th October.
The same issue occurred for the ride on the 27th October, which is showing in Strava with the date of the 19th October. This was the date of the ride previous to the 27th. Again the other ride details such as the name, distance and time are from the ride on the 27th October.
So it looks like the activity date is being picked up from the last activity, but all other details are correct?
I saw another post (97089) that has a similar issue, but no resolution.
Has anyone seen this issue before and identified a fix?
Just to confirm I’m understanding correctly - when you end a ride - your activities save with the correct date and time in your Zwift activity feed, is that right? This means that your FIT file uploaded to the Zwift server correctly before our servers pass it along raw to the third party servers. Zwift does not alter the FIT file in that process.
Question 1: it’s possible something might be messed up with the Zwift game app on your end, and if that’s the case - a complete deletion of everything Zwift and re-install might help. Maybe. This is a deeper clean than the usual “Uninstall” process. Here’s the how-to instructions.
Q2: are you running any game hacks (altering XML files, or using an overlap app)? If yes - disable those and see if that might be getting in the way.
Correct, when I end a ride, the activity saves to Zwift with the correct date. I can see this on the activity in my Zwift feed online with the correct date.
If I access the activity in my feed on Zwift com and click the cog icon and select ‘download fit file’ the file that is generated has the incorrect date for the file name and within the file data. For example my Zwift activity from the 8th November, has a Fit file name of “2023-10-27-07-56-32 fit”
The only pattern I can see is the date of the fit file is the date of the previous activity in my feed, but the other details within the file (distance, time, elevation, route name) are all correct for the activity I want to download the fit file for.
This issue only started last month. It has been fine for well over a year previous to that using the same device
I will try a deep clean and install of Zwift on my device to see if that resolves the issue
I have exactly the same issue - when I did the same route today as I did one week ago, the activity date appears correctly inside Zwift, but has the previous weeks date when sync’d to Garmin and Strava. Very, very irritating. Time and date correct on all devices. Just the uploaded .fit file (i did it manually as well to check) has the wrong date.
Oh my Im having this problem now too. Zwift has the correct date after I finish my workout, but on Strava it gets recorded as the same date of my previous Zwift workout. Anyway to fix this as my data is outta whack now and it hurts my OCD (and head!)
I just hit the same problem today. Zwift has the correct date/time in my feed but FIT file has wrong timestamp information in the name and therefore wrong uploaded data to third party apps (garmin, strava, etc). One observation is that I didn’t had this issue yesterday on my bike workout. One thing that I did between yesterday and today was sync’ing Zwift and strava and uploading yesterday’s workout manually on strava.
Same issue happened here today. I finished riding on Zwift, but training didn’t get sent to Strava. When I manually downloaded the .fit-file from Zwift, I saw it had the wrong timestamp. Strava doesn’t accept it as manual upload, since it says it’s a duplicate of an earlier training.
