Game Update 1.43 [June 2023]

Hello everyone - Zwift v1.43 begins a phased rollout today with some new features we’re excited to share with you!

  • Get ready to explore new heights in July’s Climb Portal First Ascent Challenge! Meet Climb Portal—the latest addition to Zwift. Ride your way to the two portals – one in Watopia and one in France and be transported to a curated selection of the world’s most famous climbs. Join the Climb Portal First Ascent Challenge and experience some of the most iconic climbs of the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Challenge yourself on these real-world climbs starting June 30th.
  • Zwift Play controllers now have haptic feedback on Mac, PC, iOS, and Apple TV, with Android coming soon. You’ll now feel your controllers vibrate when you return a Ride On, brake, ride over boost strips and hazards in Repack Rush, use power-ups, and more.
  • Video Screenshots will begin to roll out to a percentage of Apple TV devices.
  • Fixed an issue with Coffee Stop that would cause the first use of Coffee Stop after 30 minutes to be 30 seconds instead of the expected 3 minutes. This was most prevalent in events.
  • Fixed an issue with Coffee Stop that would result in the timer getting stuck, preventing Zwifters being able to use Coffee Stop.
  • Water textures are back and less gray.
  • Fixed an issue which occasionally caused cyclists to not appear to be pedaling despite having cadence connected.
  • Zwift theme music returns!
  • Action Bar pops up more easily on touch screens.
  • Black squares that appear in dusty conditions have been banished.
  • Fixed an issue that caused road edges and avatars to turn white in the underwater tunnels of Watopia.
  • Improved the appearance of the roadway near the village on the Epic KOM route.
  • Fixed an issue where HoloReplay privacy settings were reset after exiting Zwift.
  • Fixed an issue that could potentially cause Workout category card titles to be blank.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when saving a custom workout.
  • Fixed an issue where the Save Activity screen could get stuck with a “spinning” indicator.
  • Fixed an issue where some segments in Makuri Islands and Scotland only displayed results in total seconds.
  • Fixed an issue in the Ride Report where the power output line did not match up with the corresponding zone blocks.

PC

  • AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPUs now have the Ultra graphics profile enabled.

Mac and PC

  • Fixed an issue where button hover effects in the Pause menu flashed while moving the mouse.

Android and iOS:

  • Fixed an issue where scrolling in the Zwifters Nearby list could open the Action Bar.
  • Fixed an issue where the Leaderboard and Zwifters Nearby lists could not be hidden by swiping to the side.

Android:

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when using Zwift Play controllers.

Zwift Play Improvements:

  • Various improvements to in-game menu navigation using Zwift Play controllers.

Hopefully this cures my problems with Zwift crashing to “desktop” on Apple TV. :crossed_fingers:t4:

Having the July mission be a climbing missing makes a lot more sense with the portal arriving.

Huzzah! When this first appeared a month or so ago, I gaslit myself into believing the tunnels had always been this way and I hadn’t noticed before.

Haptics will be rolling over the next few days; about 25% of Play controllers will have it enabled starting today.

Road gaps are back (hope they are not everywhere)

A post was split to a new topic: Zwift Play for sale in New Zealand?

Did you fix this bug/crash on Android?

Any plans to fix the broken support for pc/mouse/scrollwheel in the ride-on list after events?
Mouse scroll wheel works when selecting frames, wheels though.

I’ve never been able to use coffee break since it rolled out (MacOS). The countdown seems to be stuck. Hope this release fixes it. Looking forward to getting my hands on a set of Zwift Play (in Canada).

Keep up the good work, Zwift HQ.
