Sounds like you are having an internet connectivity issue. Have you tried plugging an ethernet cable into your ATV to see if this issue goes away? Or possibly moving it to a different location, or removing anything that might be interfering with the wifi signal?

When riders disappear, it usually means there is a network problem somewhere between your device running Zwift and the backend service located in the US. It could be your WiFi, router, Internet service, or a problem affecting transit networks between your ISP and Zwift. zwiftalizer.com has a ping test that can help you check performance between you and Zwift.
WTRL trying to scoop your announcement early again?
first with the removal of Zwiftpower legacy cats and now with PD4ā¦ WTRL keeps stealing your thunder @xflintx

Please ignore that until further notice. I believe there was some miscommunication again.

Weāre actively working on Video Screenshots for Windows right now but donāt have a public date to share just yet. In the meantime, Iāll provide some incremental updates and answer questions in this thread: Zwift Video Screenshots (Apple release) [February 2023]

I have many questions:
Is this the full list of upcoming changes or is the ā9 months of codeā a surprise for now? PD4 development aside, will the public notice the back-end improvements as theyāre released or will the Zwift team be quiet until theyāre sure that everything works?
Iām a little nervous about these updates because the 2023 UCI Cycling eSports World Championships would have been the best time to reveal them.
Edit: I missed the quote below. Iāll look forward to next weekās announcement!
We love the sound of ānew possibilities for the next evolution of the Zwift game experienceā! What is Zwift referring to exactly? Watch this space, because Zwift says theyāll be sharing some of whatās coming soon in a media release next week.
My optimistic hope: Upgrade to Unreal Engine 4+, My realistic hope: User interface overhaul, My non-hope: Anything to do with the metaverse, crypto, or NFTs.

My guess is none of those things.
An upgrade to unreal wonāt be reflected in client updates, it would be a complete ānew zwiftā.
My guess (not really founded on much, but reading between the lines) is some fundamental engine changes to allow for more flexibility. Predictions:
Steering properly supported with a hardware release alongside. I think (and would hope) that is a simple low profile button-based controller easily attached to handlebars.
A change in the way roads and routes work as a whole to allow for a wider range of customisation options, for example custom routes (start, finish, turn choices)
Maybe some other enhanced customisation options, such as a kit builder
Perhaps something fundamental around workouts to actually make them engaging. Thatās a big miss considering workout users are such a high proportion of zwifters.

Pack Dynamics 4 has now been enabled for all of Zwift. You can read more of the detail in this post: Pack Dynamics 4 Release [April 2023]
Because this is a server-side release, it means that all Zwifters will receive benefit from PD4 the next time they log in, regardless of whether or not theyāre on game version 1.34 or not.
We included the Pack Dynamics 4 details in this release note as we were targeting this week with rollout initially, and it seemed the best place to put the note.
Enjoy!

Maybe you could add an option to set a default TT bike and a default regular bike, and have the prompt swap between these when joining certain events or rides?

Happy Wednesday Zwifters!
Rollout to a portion of Android users has begun. Please check the Play Store to see if 1.34 is available for your device.

As much as I have an issue with TT bikes, I have the same issue with Gravel and MTB bikes if I last did a gravel ride and am now hopping into a pace partner ride. Would love to have this same option there. Even just going to the Zwift default bike would probably be better than shutting down the ride, going to the garage and then starting up a new ride.

Iām not on PC (Iām on iPad) but I did notice some different behavior today. Not sure if itās related to PD4 being enabled or some other backend change.
First, XP used to trigger every km, but today it shifted over time. At 60km it was triggering at the .7km mark, at 100km it had shifted back to the .5km mark.
Here are some screenshots:
Then I noticed position in the pack seemed wrong a lot, it would show me as #1 long before I ever showed up at the front and even if I never did. Here are some screenshots to give an example:
My guess is some calculations that used to be done client side are now server side, but I just wanted to point out today is the first time Iāve noticed these.

Not new at all, itās because the event counter (up top) and your personal distance counter (nearby riders list) donāt match, and you get +20 XP every time your personal distance goes to x.0 km. At the end of a 100 km ride, you tend to see values anywhere in the 100.2 to 101.5 km range on the nearby riders list (plus any late joiners).
But my personal distance (which started at 0) began to increment XP close to the x.0 mark, but shifted over timeā¦ maybe Iām misunderstanding something but Iāve never noticed that before, and Iāve done these same rides a few times.
Yeah, exactly, but it has been like that for years. The rider list would probably say 60.0 km and 99.0 km (instead of 59.7 and 98.5) at the places where you took your screenshots. After the end of the event, the display at the top reverts back to showing your personal distance (so straight from 100.0 to ~100.5 except of course it doesnāt show decimals after 100).
As far as I know, there has never been an official explanation for this. My best guess would be that while the official distance is measured along the centre line or something, the extra distance comes simply from weaving from one side of the lane to the other over the course of the ride, just like IRL.
