Game Update 1.60 [March 2024]

Yes, that was already pointed out to me. :man_facepalming: I guess that’s what I get for not paying attention.

Rode briefly today, no repeat of box appearing/
I will do longer ride tomorrow
Flashes were too quick to get a pic yesterday…

Hi. Is there anyway Zwift can make the font in the chat bubbles a bit bigger. Or at least give the use the option to select a bigger font. For those of us who need reading glasses, the font has become a bit of a challenge. I can’t ride with my glasses as they steam up. At the moment I can only really make out the ride leaders messages.

Also, in the companion app, if we could have dynamic font size which follows chosen font size. In IOS on the Iphone settings this would also go a long way to help this issue.

Is there any plans to update the sprint start lines? When riding in a large group ride they can be impossible to see in a crowd. Its probably the one update I’ve been waanting for over a year now

While you’re waiting for this, make sure your HoloReplay (prev or PR) is set up. If you’ve set a time for the segment your HoloReplay will show up on the minimap as you near the segment.

I’ll add my usual comment, just in case: if you’re waiting until you’re close to or at the start of the segment before launching your sprint you’re leaving it way too late.

If I click out of a ride on my phone to answer the phone or text and then try to go back into the ride it takes me back to the log in screen and I loose everything. It didnt do this in the past.

This is a great idea. Maybe tie it to the 1200w badge.

better visibility for sprint segments has been long requested. There are a couple segments that show on the companion map but only a couple…even making those universal would be a great start.

Also it would be nice to see segment ETA for full duration on longer segments.

That would require placing a TALL flag or marker at the side of the road.
This has previously been asked for many (myself included) for years.

They would prefer to develop Coffee breaks and flood the display with coffee cups and useless blue thumbs but a flag is beyond their capability.

ZHQ wants to know why we keep asking for things we don’t need instead of appreciating the things we don’t want.

I have discovered that all posts can include a reference to coffee breaks or elevation profile graph.

I get a pop up when there is one kilometer to the start of the sprint line.
You may have it turned off in your settings?

If you mean the leaderboards, I get popups at random intervals from the start of sprints–so random that I can’t even tell you what the average is. There are sprints where the leaderboard isn’t showing until I’m past the start.

Yeah, they have always been weird like that, the spot where the leaderboard appears seems consistent for each segment but the distances seem completely random. Same thing about how long after the banner it stays on the screen, in some places it’s on barely long enough for it to go through all three pages. (Would also prefer for it to not go away after the finish line as long as one is interacting with the leaderboard.)

Haven’t seen one of these before:


The right turn thingy (from a different world no less) with the countdown stuck stayed on screen like this for almost the whole ride, always disappeared around Trafalgar Square but came back again after maybe 3–4 km. I wasn’t riding in France (or anywhere) before late joining the event from the start screen but I think I first got sent there before ending up in London.

Exactly. Most times the board is at least on screen before the start (most times), but there are times when the data isn’t populated before the start. That’s of course dependent to some degree on how fast you’re going–but if you’re of a mind to sprint…you’re going fast :slight_smile:

And then of course there’s the one direction of Railway, which iirc has a leaderboard but isn’t a sprint anymore.

It has never been a sprint in that direction… Railway Sprint (Neokyo) leaderboard shown for the wrong direction

Oh, I thought it once was bi-directional. I knew it has been ā€˜not there’ for a while.

Was Rooftop KOM ever bi-directional? Now I’m doubting all my memories, lol.

At one point Zwift did acknowledge the inconsistency with the leaderboards, may have been around the Neokyo expansion (where some appear way too late to be useful). They said they were going to improve them but that was probably a couple of years ago now.

What bothers me about leader boards, when I’m warming up for an event, the leader board covers the time to the start of the event.
I would like to just turn off the leader board.

Which brings up another point I had a few months ago - being able to pull up leaderboards at will.
There is an option in Settings for Leaderboards ( Always or Auto ). But once a leaderboard dismisses, you can’t bring it back up.
It would be nice to be able to click the left side of the screen to pull up the leaderboards.

Not to my knowledge.

Two things that came up today apart from the many many graphical glitches (M1 Mac Mini)

  1. Coffee stop, great feature but if you are riding in a pack and decide to use the feature it would be really great if it would not latch onto a random rider that the group passes on the side of the road that has stopped. Grinding the rider to a halt and when you come back from the break you find your rider sitting on the side of the road next to some random and the pack has long since gone. This also can happen when passing slower cyclists but instead of latching on it shoots you up the road then drops the coffee stop out completely.
  2. Missing kit in the garage since installing this update.
    If I have earned a kit and it is still available as others ride it regularly as part of a group we do, why is it that when winning new kits some of the other ones seem to disappear? Eg members of the RCC have an RCC kit and ride it daily, go into garage to look at the new kits that were given at level 46 and suddenly the RCC kit is no longer there. Plus a bunch of other random club kits that i have never seen before. Not a huge deal breaker but would be nice to be able to A, sort out the kits to make them easier to go through (same can be said about most items in the garage, how many socks do we have now?) B, have a way to prioritise particular items in the garage.
