Any idea/ETA when the new crankset issues (making bikes slower) will be fixed? or this will not be addressed leaving as an added game feature, just wondering?

Apple TV updates role out after pc I think - at least that used to be the case. But don’t quote me on that…

Great to see that there are some new routes in Neokyo! Just uploaded a video of the twilight harbor route too. Here is my post with a frequently update bugs list, my thoughts, images, and details on the new routes. Feel free to check it out here:

My Apple TV has the update in the App Store. Yours should be there soon, if it’s not already.

Caching in the App store can sometimes make these updates slow to appear. You can wait, or try power cycling your device to clear the cache.

What about blob diseappearing ???
This bug is always occuring during training…Everybody diseappear and you stay alone for 1 mn and when blob appears…you are dropped many seconds behind !!!

@Didier_FERRIBY when that happens it is, most likely, an issue with your device dropping the internet connection for a period of time. You might need to check that, or hardwire the device on which you are running Zwift.
