Game Update 1.39 [May 2023]

But the number of name tags does not represent the size of the group in front of you.

Look at my screenshots, there are just a few nametags in front of me and a huge number of nametags behind me.
There were much more riders in front of me than behind me in this group, if I remember correctly

People in front of you arenā€™t ā€œabout to overtake youā€ ā€¦ plus you can see them already

Ok. I rephrase.
But the number of name tags does not represent the size of the group, neither in front nor behind you.
And you can not differentiate between the number of riders who are really about to overtake you or the number of riders who just ride peacefully behind you.

With steering I have never been able to do that. You are stuck out at the edge and no matter how much you try to steer nothing will happen if other riders are in your way.

I think I was able to replicate this problem, so we are onto it.

Also, for the Kickr bike users that might feel at a disadvantage for using steering, the fix for not being able to unpair it is coming out soon.

I have no steering, I was just referring to being pushed out by the normal pack movement. Steering is definitely an advantage in races.

and my android phone is no longer supported, after this update zwift app disappeared on Google Play, i can play games at 60fps but zwift disabled support for my Poco X3 Pro, i can still install it on my old phone that can barely run zwift, great job @Ride_Cyclery, you just lost a customer, itā€™s rouvy time for me

Rouvy is pretty bad, I tried for a while and came back to Zwift. Yeah it has itā€™s quirks but the support is much better and itā€™s constantly evolvingā€¦

Rouvy doesnā€™t half of what Zwift offers. Iā€™d invest in a cheap 2nd hand desktop and then you can experience Zwift with the ultra profile in 4K.

dont care, zwift is not that great either, remember emonda unlock bug from December ? i couldnt use zwift for a week because of that bug, of course there was no compensation for not being able to use appā€¦ i wont jump over pointless hurdles just because zwift developers are rubbish

Your phone has Android 12, right?
Then zwift should support it.
There must be another reason that zwift is not working or is not available.
Why did you uninstall it if it was working before?

yeah, my android is updated, zwift worked with android 12 and 13 before last update, you cannot run zwift without updating it to last update and you cannot update zwift if you can no longer see it on GooglePlay so multiple dead ends ā€¦
i guess i could install Aurora installer, spoof phone id to some Samsung Galaxy and it would work but why should i pay monthly for such a lousy user experience?
funny thing, my old phone Xiaomi Mi A1 from 2017 is still somehow compatible with zwift even if it looks more like slide show than a game on it, real mess on zwift side

What is it about your phone that stops Zwift showing up in GooglePlay? I assumed it was mostly to do with OS version, but is there some hardware component that affects it?

developer can specify app compatibility, thats why, zwift blocked itself from my phone
all HW params of my phone are way over zwift requirements and zwift worked fine until May update

Sorry, Iā€™m trying to understand why Zwift would block that particular phone given that it meets the hardware and software requirements. I donā€™t imagine Zwift has a team of people just randomly selecting phone types that they are dropping from support?

are you able to find zwift in the play store on a pc

if you trey and install it this way does it say that your device is not compatible? like the second one in my list

i dont think it was intentional block, it is more likely that somebody at zwift messed with google play settings and caused this without realizing it

yeah, just like your asus p027

Sounds more like a problem with your particular phone than a problem caused by Zwift.

it is caused by zwift, i bet this is not the only phone with this problem after update
if i try Aurora Store open source google play frontend and set my phone to Galaxy 9+(3 years older than my current device and slower) i can install zwift but iā€™m not interested in running it this way
