Game Update 1.40 [May 2023]

After the 1.39 update with that much bugs in it I would have thought that everybody would get the 1.40 update at the same time (AS SOON AS POSSIBLE). But in stead ZHQ decided that a phased rollout would be best.

In my opinion you are condemming us (that get the update a lot later) to be stuck with a version with lots of bugs for at least an extra few days.

72 hours I believe.

It’s generally within 48 hours.

The release is staggered in case there’s something BIG that goes wrong.

I’m sure you would be very grateful if you were someone who didn’t get affected by something like that because we staggered the update rather than ā€œcondemnedā€.

According to the first message of Shuji in this topic it has now been more than 3 days that the update is rolling out, but nothing yet. So 48 hours have well been passed.

The post saves the time it was drafted (before the post was made live).

We made the release around 6pm UTC Wednesday.

It’s currently on hold whilst we investigate an isolated incident but will likely be rolled out to more users later on today.

Do you mean this day in Europe or you’re day in the States?
That way I know if I can try to ride today in Zwift or not.

Morning California.

I don’t think there’s anything that actually prevents you from riding your bike in Zwift unless you’re being facetious.

As the 1.39 version makes it problematic to join a ride with a RP it is preventing me to ride in Zwift.

Maybe join a group ride? Or do any of the many many other things that you can do.

I could, but riding a few group rides lately did not give me a good feeling (no ride leaders or way to high w/kg than adverticed). Races and work outs are not my thing and free riding I prefere outside in the sun.

Try backing out to the menu and then rejoining the pace partner. Usually works on the second attempt for me.

It sometimes puts me about 200m ahead of the pack but I am quickly swept by it anyway

This issue needs to be fixed period, and the only way of that happening is the new update. But because of the staggered release a lot of us do not have it yet and still can not start a RP ride without needing to start over several times. This is frustrating me and is killing the fun of Zwift for me big time.

@James_Zwift I also like to get an answer on another question.
The sprint and KOM leaderboards are often popping up in you’re screen right at the point where you start the sprint. This has been mentioned lots of times and also been requested to see them sooner.
Can you let us know if this has been adressed with this update or has nothing been done about it at all?

When I am doing sprints I would like to know a lot sooner what the sprint times are and not finding out after the sprint that the attempt was futile as some one has set an impossible time for me to beat. Before 1.39 I could at least swipe the leader boards on my screen but with 1.39 it is not possible.

You are ON ONE today!

I think the leaderboard positioning is route/world specific. I think they stay up for a really short time in Scotland. I can find out a bit more but it’s not going to be a priority.

As far as I have seen it, it is not route / world specific. Most of the sprint leader boards I have come across the last few weeks (Wattopia, Makuri and London) popped up verry close or even at the start point of the sprint.That is not how it should be and with the HUD bug in 1.39 (do not know if it has been fixed with 1.40) there is no info about sprint times untill it is to late.

Can you not start the same route as the RP - cruise along till the pack comes then jump on board?
Not ideal - but its another workaround.

That would be possible, but that sounds even worse as some RP routes are really long and that can take for ever at a crusing speed before you come across the RP you want.

Yeah but you can see where abouts they are - worst case if they are at the other end of the route - U turn, ride towards and flip another U turn just before you meet halfway.

I had a great ride once riding round jumping from RP to RP as I stumbled across them.

As I said before it is possible, but not working for me because I want to join an RP right away and not first have to look where they are riding, etc. That is way to much work, especialy when you are not doing a long ride of do not have to much time to ride.
