Game Update 1.25 - May 12, 2022

[James_McLean_Watt]

Discovered a bug on Wandering Flats Makuri Island when branching to right to go through short gravel section on Wahoo Kickr bike - resistance increases dramatically and bike tilts as replicating going up a gradient. The issue also affects Stages SB20 regarding the resistance increasing this is a direct result of latest update did not occur previously.

Gradient Change between Neoyko and Makuri Island almost throws me off the bike [May 2022]

When leaving the Neoyko world and heading to the older original part of Makuri Island - my kickr Bike suddenly goes violently down when reaching the end of the dirt. It does the exact opposite when going in the other direction.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with their Everest Challenge Progress? I was close to completing the challenge, which is demonstrated by the graphic, but the stats say I’ve now only completed 8865 of 50000m?! What’s happened?

[Nicholas_Rubin (Nicholas)]

Also, why can’t I view my challenge progress from the main screen rather than only from the menu page whilst during a ride?!

[James_Zwift (James)]

Once you have ascended your first everest, you receive a Trek Emonda. Then you move onto the second stage of the challenge, which is to climb 50,000m after which you will receive the Zwift Concept Bike (Tron).

Good luck.

Welcome to the Forums, Nicholas.
That’s where you have won the Trek Emonda (after reaching the height of Everest), but now have to get to 50,000m in order to get the Tron bike! Happy climbing
Edit: I’m too slow. James beat me to it.

Yes, please don’t turn off the Makuri pace partners. The scenery and terrain is more interesting and having an alternative reduces the boredom of riding always in watopia.

[Nicholas_Rubin (Nicholas)]

Oh!! I wasn’t aware the challenge had a second stage - should/could this be clearer?

Either way, thanks for the quick response.

[James_Zwift (James)]

It’s something that has always been that way, but could be explained better.

Yes I use the companion app on my ipad but touching the screen on the iphone to give a thumbs up to riders on the list i see onscreen is so easy. Also swiping right on that list when I want to hide the rider list is nice. Can’t do either of those on companion app. I don’t want to have to select the “Nearby Rider” list, click on one rider at a time, pull up their profile, hit the ride on button, then go back to give more. This is extremely difficult when trying to reciprocate ride ons while climbing a mountain.

None of the new workout effect, I’ll try to get one on a ride tonight (unless I end up doing a race).

So few interesting events here for us US East anymore I’ve fallen back to doing workouts.

My biggest complaint is really that it just shoves this whole blurry layer over the entire screen, it messes with my eyes, and on top of that, aliasing gets really bad and things begin to flicker (anything that was straight vertical or horizontal becomes super jagged, and is very obvious)

On top of that it keeps the scanline effect, and the greyscale effect, but doesn’t seem to have the colors through the arches like it used to? Not sure if that’s intended or not.

As said I really liked the old method; it gave you a bit of tunnel vision, but the ability to “see the light [color] at the end of the tunnel”
Now it’s just… One second everything is fine, the next second everything is blurry.

Just jumped on and the update is stopping me change my bike. Every swap goes back to the Tron. Every time I click on a new bike it also shows random wheels previously not selected too. I hit exit and it puts me back on Tron. Thanks in advance!

See this thread, I believe Zwift is working on a fix: Can't switch bikes in The Garage [1.25.0] [May 2022] [SOLVED]

[The_Reaper_TBR (The)]

Thanks Oliver!

Did the update but when joining a pacer ride still only had 5 seconds and not the 10 mentioned.

I rode the Neokyo All nighter route as part of tonight’s workout session and the performance of it was shocking on my Apple Tv4k

At several points in the route it looked like it was about 15 frames a second!

I’ve seen Neokyo slow downs in the past, but tonight on the latest update level it was awful.

@shooj

Thank you!

Hey Shuji, is there any chance you can let the old game keep playing without a cutoff for updating. I work at sea and alot of people onboard use Zwift. The internet is absolutely terrible and can’t upload while at sea, so the updates are killing us as we cannot play when update cut off happens.

The only time I have it connecting is for starting ride and saving ride at the end.

This may not be the correct place for this but can you tell me the correct place to post or an email address to put my concern across to.

Thanks in advance!

That sounds really odd. Do you force-close Zwift after every session? I would try rebooting your ATV to see if it happens again.
