Game Update - November 23rd, 2020

The problem people are commenting on is not that the F10 key not working, it is - it is that photos are being taken and left in the correct folder but arent being uploaded even when you select them at the save screen.

I have a windows 10 machine about 5 yrs old. Integrated graphics & old i5. No issues. This update is not the ****show you describe.

First group ride since the update yesterday, beacon sometimes on, sometimes off, fence not working, 90 riders suddenly disappeared beyond the fence. I get the feeling that Zwift has lost control of the code and can’t debug to figure out issues as they arise. Also might be the explanation why such basic stuff re the interface has not been touched for months or years.

It sounds like either your trainer is still paired to another app, instead of Zwift, or that it is not connected as ‘controllable’. Have you checked this, by chance?

Definitely connected as controllable. Otherwise it wouldn’t eventually increase/decrease resistance. Like I said, I’m not the only one with this issue and it’s a relatively NEW issue for me. I’ve looked at my Zwift logs and they’re full of errors.

Two sessions crashed today - both at timestamp 30:09.

Reading this forum, I’m shaking my head at what seem to be Zwift employees suggesting things like “well, upload your workout manually” …

You are charging people money for a service. You have damaged the service. In many places, this would leave you open to people contesting their bill.

Is there an adult in charge somewhere?

Bizarrely, the VERY same thing happened to me today AFTER having implemented my wise-alec “fix” on the keyboard. Previously, when I took snapshots from the Companion or from Windows (using Fn+F10) the photos uploaded to Strava correctly. Today, the photos appeared at the ride conclusion… I made the appropriate selections, and NONE were deposited with Strava! Yikes. Must I now reset my keyboard and resort to using a two-handed keystroke combination (difficult at best whilst cycling!)???

Incidentally, my photos only randomly appear in the Zwift screenshots on zwift.com

Exact same issue here, but also all the people are naked.

Not sure if you meant me suggesting someone could upload a workout manually.

I am not employed by Zwift, was just trying to help.

I apologize - I thought you were a Zwift employee. I am truly sorry - just very frustrated with a days-long issue and getting no response from the company.

No worries, I feel your pain.

Work arounds shouldn’t be needed but sometimes they are better than nothing.

Guys we’ve found all the missing F10 screenshots! After the lavender was harvested Zwift sent them all to a field in France. Check out this photo from the latest Zwift Insider Post.

You are missing 2 of mine.

I was getting poor graphics and black squares in Windows 7. Upgraded to Windows 10 for free, as suggested, and it all seems to work OK. Thanks for the input, everyone.

I suppose that inmates can get accustomed to any prison - but I’m still feeling slightly shocked at how ‘shoestring’ this company is given their high public profile. It wasn’t very difficult for me to try out a competitor yesterday, and it was comically superior in every way - except for the user community.

At what point does Zwift “adapt or die?” I suppose when they get a competitor who experiences the same rate of growth as they have - probably late 2021.

Which service did you try?

My FPS has dropped from 50-60 FPS on high to 5 FPS on low with this update, tested on two graphics cards, Intel HD 520 onboard (where it was giving me 50-60 before) and a Radeon GT 710 (where it was laggy and is now not only laggy but unusuable). I understand those are low spec cards but they worked just fine before and my ram and CPU are definitely not causing this. The game is almost unplayable. From what I can tell it seems to be because you’ve forced a bunch of bloom effects and higher end graphic settings on that weren’t there before and won’t go away no matter what I do to the config files

I’m already on windows 10 and i have an i7, 8gb ram.

yes this update has massively changed performance, are you running in Windowed or full screen mode? If windowed try full screen. I’ve been doing a fair bit of testing in a separate thread in Bugs and Support calle

Throttling FPS in windowed mode since 1.0.58982 released

Can’t seem to post the link!!

I use full screen and my performance has been ruined by the latest update.

any of the non-town/grassy or hilly sections makes the graphics basically grind to a halt. I haven’t changed anything on my set up and tried 2 different PCs and both have similar problems.

gutted as I’d just set up a new TV to run it on.

Chris, there is a facebook group called ZPCMR - Zwift PC which has a load of guides in the files section on things to tweak to get the best performance.
