I’ve always said Zwift was ‘unreal’. This confirms it. :rofl: #dadjokes #illseemyselfout

Im’ reading tons of comments and mixed feelings. I think for most consistency of approach to changes sounds like it would smooth out the bumps (Neo and otherwise) :slight_smile: . I also LOVE the complexity (to a degree….that psychological “this bike is fastest” means something even if it’s such a small difference it’s negligible. Tron feels SLIPPERY. Tuo and addict cool…7.6’s ftw everywhere if not tron. Like most trying tho narrow down options ot a couple clusters (climbing in wheels vs. really good overall wheels meh it’s usually not just an alpe kom shot anyway). I feel reallly fortunate to have had such great bike people in my mediocre cart 3/4/masters bike life who really impressed upon me “power isn’t the only skill” (I’m going with that as a catch phrase. I find often individual riders just simply don’t know how to ride efficiently, wish to go faster together in the right situation, and then on zwift? Who’s investing to time to dig in and try to feel/learn all the nuances and they change? Love it. Hung for a Neokyo lap (after the lead in (!) and a bit when Le9ion had that series like 48.2 km/h lap. Lifelong mediocre athlete but a hamster for the wheel and a student of the sport. I don’t wish for others to find things chaotic, but btw who noticed in “handful of gravel” mid rides that you could see but I’m pretty sure not draft off riders in different categories (# of laps) .,. Wow right? Finally I, I don’t try to tell people “go on zwift” it’s too hard and they get stuck. I mentor people in my basement and sometimes randomly on the road if they are interested especially we’re out in no man’s or woman’s land and hey let’s actually get you drafting k? Wes I really admire your getting out here and answering people’s questions it’s all about expectatations and working in a company you may control some things but not others right it can be daunting. If anyone is still reading I just love riding and whoever is out there (inside and out) that I can be riding around/with. I noticed Wes reminded us about civility in ‘18 or ‘19 and overall if you put yourself in his shoes while this is pretty civil it’s tough in his shoes (insert joke about some brand haha). There’s that ambassador program where people try to answer other people’s questions that was cool. Maybe (we do this in other settings not sports or here but) consider a (if not already present) some kind of wide ranging private advisory group of users from “newbies” to wizened grey chest haired MAMILS (who still learn things from the newer riders there’s a whole world…many out there). Balance. Respect. Ride on.

I ride my rides for fun, but also I try to beat my PR’s over and over. Every time something is changed (mostly they change not for the good) with frame settings you’re PR / track time is out of reach for at least several weeks. This is far worse for the lower level riders than for the higher level riders as they do not have the luxury of milions of drops or a shipload of frames allready bought in the past.

People like me have used our hard earned drops in order to buy a new frame and see those frames get demoted to sub par in an instance. In my opinion Zwift does not do anything to compensate us for this PEEP.

I get that this kind of changes are being made in games where one kind of weapon or armor has gotten to strong. But IMO Zwift is no game and you can not change the settings of the frames without telling people several weeks before the change is implemeted. These changes affect track times, PR’s and so much more. Cycling is a way of life and not a game where you simply can change some settings every single time.

I understand your frustration but your prs will be affected by how many other riders are around, all mine are just at times when zwift was busiest and I was drafting more riders. Slightly different for TT frames I guess.

Looking at power over certain timeframes is a better way to monitor how you’re doing.

I like this idea @Jim_Mattson - perhaps the functionality they add in the drop shop to pair down the selection is to “Donate” your bike and for every bike virtually donated, Zwift literally donates (a bike?) to WBR. You receive no drops in return, but you clean up your garage.

ever since the update, my zwift does not work. i get stuck in the “select workout” phase and while the workout is running underneath, the screen just shows the attached. i can do the workout using the companion app, but the main screen closes if i click not now or workout


Still getting the white screen and having to force quit Zwift launcher in task manager, then restart. Anyone else?

This is new (for me)… Any issue just clicking both boxes and allow?

I like the new update, especially the new 3D World sounds. But the old mining town in Tempus Fugit got somehow either covered in sand or simply just vanished. :sweat_smile:

Just did a systems check. I can confirm that it’s easier to bridge solo to a break of two and get 3rd at a local circuit race than it is to get top 20 in a Zwift “A” race. :joy:

Since I uploaded game update 1.24 my Garmin dual HRM strap keeps dropping out. I’ve found that if I take off my garmin venu 2 plus watch the HRM strap works fine.

This issue only started when I uploaded game upload 1.24, has anybody experienced HRM issues with this release?

Any ideas what the ghost towns and aliens note is referencing?

@SeattleSauve
An entire town in the desert vanished.

I knew it was missing, I guess I didn’t understand the aliens part of it :slight_smile:
