Game Update 1.17 - September 15th, 2021

Same here. Windows 10 using iPhone companion app for BLE and Wahoo Kickr. Finding the trainer for power but not as controllable.

I’ve had nothing but constructive criticism to date, but I’m out of patience. WTF Zwift.

I have to say, the continual messing about with the ANT and BLE files is mind-boggling to me. This kind of thing is absolutely fundamental to the entire concept of the game and should have been sorted years ago, never to be touched again. We shouldn’t even see the pairing screen more than once (unless needed).

I think this update and losing ERG functionality completely officially pushes me to Trainer Road for training purposes.

(Apple TV + iPhone Companion App) Same here Stages SB20 cannot be connected as controlable (StagesBike not visible in the list)… Older Release works fine. Release 1.7 killed this…

I am seeing this too. I have a Wahoo Kickr and the latest firmware. When I start a workout ERG is enabled (confirmed in the Companion app too). But, ERG is completely ignored. Is this the issues that others are seeing?

Update on my wonky saving issue: seems that the game jumps out of fullscreen exclusive during the saving process. Not sure why this would happen, it never has done before. Going to try a reinstall.

No change even after a clean install. Frustrating.

Even tried updating the launcher (which still makes smoothness terrible by comparison, as it has for nearly a year now) and it’s no different, so it’s not that.

The zwift activity did not upload to Garmin Connect… seems the connection with Garmin Connect is not working after the update. Anyone with the same problem?

Issue…

Wanted to make a ride but after the update my Elite Direto XR does not connect anymore as controllable. So Zwift does not make sense because I can not ride any meter.

I am new and still testing but did not expect such problems.

Sometimes it fines Direto as Power Unit but nothing more.

Everything worked fine until yesterday…

I even made an uninstall and installed it new…

I experienced a weird glitch today. It is my first ride right after September 15th Update 1.17.0(80953).

At the start of the Alpe’s segment power dropped to 0W for one second, after resuming power
my avatar advanced without pedaling, no moving legs, I just kept going to see how far this would go… Climbed the entire Alpe… Crossed the Arch … Prize Spinning Wheel… then magically started pedaling back again! hmmmm :thinking:

Another weird one is that after Zwiftalizing ā€œlog.txtā€ file it shows no droputs at the beginning where the issue started happening. Looking at the ā€œANT+ Packet loss chartā€ signal looks pretty good to me.
ā€œsearches = 0ā€
~2.8% RX Fail (crank)
~4.74% RX Fail (KickrV5)

I screen recorded this issue in case it helps someone, somewhere, somehow!

Ride: Custom Workout (trainingpeaks)
Route: ā€œRoad to Skyā€
ERG: ON
Power source: ANT+ Wahoo KickrV5 FE-C
Controller: ANT+ Wahoo KickrV5 FE-C
Cadence: Specialized PowerCrank ā€œLeftā€
OSX Mojave 10.14.6

Hi @DTC1979 welcome to Zwift forums.
There is a thread about Bluetooth problems that a few Windows10 users are having with version 1.17.0. You might try the workaround in that thread and see if that helps you.

But since your your power signal is found and works correctly across Bluetooth - I’m not sure you’re having the same issue. You may want to pair your trainer’s power signal first, THEN connect the controllable signal.

Also know that a 5 - 10 second lag before a Bluetooth signal is found is normal. The time it takes for loading and initialization of Windows Bluetooth varies on each PC, so be patient while it searches for the signal.

Hi @Wes. Couple of small issues noticed today on ATV. Leaderboards seem to be broken in event. Only person visible on the leaderboard is myself. Then end of event everyone gets a sprint jersey ie everyone is first on their own leaderboard. Issue 2 zwift concept bike wheels have gone back to white again.

This is exactly what I’m seeing and getting.

@Ashley_Ward

On issue #1, is problem described below what you experienced?

Since the last update with zwift, I don’t get my coffee n cake delivered to me whilst on the trainer at the cafe. :confused:
Come on zwift, can you please fix this for me.
I’ve been with you since 2015 and this is just not good enough. :roll_eyes: :grin:

Exactly so. My first thought when I read that. That could be as bad as having a equipment malfunction during the ride.

I am still getting freeze up after complete ting the Alpe climb, every time now and never had this the first 1.5 years. It always occurs during the circle at the he top when the camera pans out automatically to the over view from above. If they just take out that auto camera angle change maybe it would not happen. This is with my iPad Pro, so perhaps its the Apple product and not zwift bug.

Follow up using the new release (1.17):

I gave ERG mode a test ride today. No issues.

Apple TV direct Bluetooth connections to Neo 1 and Viiiiva HRM. Companion app worked as expected allowing me to control the workout.
