Game Update - October 22nd, 2020

Absolutely!!
Also do not let workouts for the week in training plans expire.

Lots of pairing issues today, after updating. I’m using Apple TV, and pair my BT-devices using the companion app. Has been pretty stable lately, until today. Anyone else having issues after updating?

Presently there is no way to change the mini-map perspective on the ATV. I was hopeful that this would be a part of the new UI, but since that has now been scrapped I am not sure it will ever happen.

Yeah read that wrong, couldn’t delete after I caught that.

Depends. What about the UI fix for the Apple TV interface? Snapping the Fence on and off or adjusting it for changing gradients is a no-go with the Siri remote.

I’ve had an issue using Companion App. If the app is started after zwift is started (on Apple TV for me) then the companion doesn’t recognize me riding and the map doesn’t appear, ever. BUT if companion is started before I start zwift, then it’s fine. So weird.

Being able to change routes without having to log out would be great.

Yes have many issues with the same setup as you. I have the Sterzo Steering and I cannot get that to work at all now. All these things have occurred since the update. I have emailed a few times and have not had a response. Is the works on Tuesday to fix these issues?

yes me too, steering not working since the update on two spins.

also is there a change to ride ons? I give out loads for banter reasons, but now im getting none back, even while spending some time with the pacer bot Diesel Dan during my cooldown, and it was showering in the ride ons (not just from me), I got nothing there? the ride ons were a nice feature for interacting with people, of course i do have followers who give them etc but the on the fly ride ons are good during the game

Are you noticing after a ride that you have far more ride ons than you seem to have received during you ride? If so, this might be a case of not ‘force quitting’ Zwift and the Companion app after each ride. This often affects the chat function, also.

no, its as if im just not receiving ride ons at all, definitely a new thing. get maybe two after the ride… as i said they are good for the banter and it was raining ride ons when with diesel dan group

sterzo steering pairing via companion app (ios) after this update not working anymore (no signal). I use atv. Before the update, it worked.
now i connect sterzo directly to atv,then it works, but then i do not have the heartrate sensor as there are max 3 ble channels.

Same issues. I can pair Bluetooth devices and control Kickr if just using Zwift on AppleTV or iPhone, but when trying to control Kickr with companion app, not working. Issue is since update.

My companion no longer connect with Bluetooth.
Sometimes it connects but there’s no value showing on the companion screen

Same here, companion app won’t connect to Bluetooth

I know why this is not possible. Same reason you can’t transfer to different worlds in the same ride. You can’t teleport people in the middle of a ride or it would screw up the ride location data for programs like Strava.

My HR monitor wouldn’t connect on the first ride following the update. Snapshots didn’t get saved either (Windows 10). Both worked on my next ride the following evening. I’ve had occasion problems with both. I think I remember the same behavior with the snapshots immediately after a previous undate – maybe after several.
This time around I noticed that Zwift didn’t ask me to login after installing the update (not shocking; it usually keeps me logged in), but it did make me log back in the next time I started it. – seemed slightly odd.
I’m speculating wildly here, but the work around for both may be as simple as quitting and restarting Zwift after an update.

yes, it is so easy now, that Zwift app can’t see my hear rate monitor but laptop can…

Makings on the “difficulty” slider in the options. That way when I set it to 100%, I can easily set it back to 50%, 25% etc. Having no markings makes it a bit of a lottery for all except 100% or 0%
