Game Update 1.52 [November 2023]

Looks like the squares described in this thread, but just very very short flashes of maroon/red squares.

Another one is that the sky or other background is shining through cracks in the mountains of Watopia.

So there was a minor update today; does steering for anyone now?

As of today’s update my steering on kickrbike does not work… at all.


Follow up.

It appears you have to reboot Zwift completely (exit game completely and shut down launcher), to get steering to come back online, if you join a ride that disables steering.

Noticed 2 things on my ride today that I didn’t notice until today’s update.

  1. When I completed the “Going Coastal” route for the badge, nothing displayed on the screen saying I completed the route. I was looking for it as it was going to do a U-turn after getting the badge and head back. However, in my screen shots at the end of the ride it appeared, so the game took the screenshot? Strange.

  2. Companion app on Android no longer has the tool bar at the bottom. It appears in the Workout/Dashboard menus, but not the main map. This worked yesterday.

Riding in the volcano the lava glow bleeds in from the opposite side of the screen

yeah i get this too, happens on the menu screen as well, anything bright bleeds to the opposite side of the screen

I’ll try to remember to record tomorrow’s ride if you still need it by then. I still get the boxes on the tail lights and a bunch flashed up by the start/finish line off to the right side in the volcano when I was riding with Genie today…

@Richard_Barnhill

I checked your server logs for that ride and it did record you unlocked the Going Coastal achievement badge. Sometimes, the badge doesn’t show up until you log out / log back in. Would you check your badge collection next time you Zwift?

Confirmed that I did get it - I just don’t remember the banner displaying during the ride. Maybe it did and I just missed it, but I really thought I was paying attention…

Thanks for closing the loop. FWIW, same thing has happened to me. Pretty sure I didn’t see the banner, but the badge is in the collection next time I look.

Also checked on Companion App issue just now and it looks like the Toolbar is on the map today, so either fixed or a fluke last night.

I don’t have any screenshots or video, but it’s just like the black squares from a few months ago, except it is more maroon color.

Got it, thanks! The team is investigating this now and we were able to get a few screenshots of a similar issue.

Here is my ride today with Genie.

There are random black boxes that come and go through the ride. The reverse Hilly KOM just exiting the bridge ~20 min mark boxes pop up here and there until the start of the climb. On titan grove start of the KOM, just after the start line say around 49:20-49:40 boxes show up in the four corners of my screen. Of course the famous Genie getting stuck on top of the Volcano and doing two laps at the top is also there…

Anyone else having the stuttering image problem on an ATV after dismissing the workout summarize window?

Why not have one bike in the group box at the bottom of the screen with the cup ect
Then we all could pick it
Come on Zwift boys

I thought there was mention of a new system come Jan 2024

I spent about an hour yesterday trying to find the last mention of it.

I swear I saw a comment saying Jan 2024 but can’t find it now.

Q: When will Zwift Racing Score be available?

A: Following a successful test this summer, we are targeting late November.

1.53 due out today, late November he says hopefully :pray:
