Great update! Can’t wait to ride the new roads! Here is my post with details on all of the Neokyo routes, images of the new content, my thoughts, a video recording of Neokyo, and a list of the bugs that were in this update. Feel free to check it out:
Great update. Is there a plan for support for Windows 11? I have a Microsoft surface 8 running windows 11 and Zwift will not keep Bluetooth and ant+ paired in the game.
Good update and as you suggest the above two things could really improve rider annoyances. It would be great to restart zwift and be able to rejoin a race or event after having a crash. Or whether the rejoin is just like iOS where you can rejoin the activity but are still thrown out the event.
Activity files will now be temporarily saved locally if a Zwifter encounters poor network connectivity or disconnection. These files will be used to attempt to automatically resume the activity on the next login.
This item has been removed from the notes. That feature is a work in progress and was removed from 1.19 as we continue to improve it.
I am shocked Bug #7 is not in BOLD and Flashing. If this is now fixed then I am so happy but I am also scared to use the U-Turn button now, I have PTSD just thinking about it
Is there a way to get the pedal assist to end early on purpose? I always get launched off the front of the group (usually the C group) when I join and have to coast or soft pedal to let the PP catch up.
I second this. It’s also great to see the notification of when your trainer gets disconnected, and the news that they’ve fixed a bug which caused Zwift to crash when you enter a world as well as reducing how often you’re asked about steering; all of these could improve my experiences from the past week or two.
When it lands, I’m really hoping the new UI will enable me to go straight into an event from the home screen, reducing the need for me to load and enter worlds I don’t want to go into.
