Repack Ridge Improvements
Repack Ridge is now officially out of the FutureWorks program, thanks to everyone for your feedback!
Added Sterzo support for Repack Ridge. (How many stars can you get now?)
Minor improvements to the UI when turning into Repack Ridge.
Events and Meetups
We’ve changed the default state of steering in events to OFF. This means only events that are meant to allow steering will have steering enabled. Looking for a steering event? Our event calendar has recurring steering enabled events here: The at Home Cycling & Running Virtual Training App
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Added a new alert indicator when users save their activity to let them know if they are in an offline state to reduce lost rides and runs.
Improved Meetups to ensure you can enable late join OR race results (rather than both at the same time). Even if you’re just racing your friends, you need to complete the entire meetup distance to take the top step.
Cycling Pace Partners is now only available for cyclists. A future game release will provide a complimentary Pace Partner for Runners.
Fixed an issue that would cause the HUD to flicker in Meetups.
Fixed a bug where in certain scenarios a rider would get dropped from the draft
Numerous UI and text updates.
If you happen to hit any issues with this update, please post in the thread below.
See you in Watopia, Ride On!
Update: 9-10-2020
We’ve released a small patch v.1.0.55600 to fix up a few issues found after the update last week. This patch addresses the following issues:
Joining an event while riding with a Pace Partner no longer causes a crash.
Selecting a Pace Partner no longer causes an occasional crash.
Some billboards on the roadside in Paris no longer appear as black boxes.
The model names went missing for wheels in the Drop Shop, the names have now returned.
Additional fixes for crashes impacting some users participating in events in the France map.
The patch is available for PC and Mac now and will be in the Apple and Android stores shortly. If you encounter any additional issues with this update, please post in the thread below.
No fixes for the re-released fence or relative rider position in the list? Last update was supposed to make that more accurate, but now it’s worse than I’ve ever seen. Riders out of order, based on the times (minus times behind, plus times ahead, numbers out of order), nearby riders not showing in the list.
I’m guessing that’s somewhat related to the errant fence warnings, but still getting them when I’m absurdly far behind the fence. Not just behind the yellow beacon, but I got one last night while I was behind the red beacon and we were 50+m behind the yellow beacon (so, obviously, well behind the fence).
I’m finding the fence to be more frustrating than functional, ie a full third of the field simply ignoring the warning. Can’t believe Zwift released such a poorly performing version. It should be disabled again - perhaps permanently.
Linking to Facebook is totally optional, just as linking to Strava or Garmin Connect are optional.
All three of those services are social platforms in their own right, and these links are ways to connect with your friends who use Zwift + those other platforms.

Great to see the new UI that was apparently ready in December 19 then delayed until March 20, then delayed because of covid increasing the user base has still not been released even though back in March it was said it was fully ready for release. @shooj?
didn’t make sense before:p
