Game Update - September 3rd, 2020

It is somewhat odd that one would join a group ride and then not ride along with the group but I just look at it as everyone is free to do their own thing. I just try to make the group ride experience as enjoyable for those who want to be part of the leader’s peloton and worry more about those not able to keep the pace and don’t worry about the flyers.

Is the weight to a decimal point new, or did I just miss that before? I had thought it was only whole numbers, but today I was allowed a ‘point-whatever’ after putting in the pounds.

One problem is the shortage of group rides at higher W/kg for A riders. I often do group rides where the leader is very clear that they’re happy for faster groups to form, but the main group will be at the stipulated W/kg and that flyers won’t be tolerated. This works well IME. Groups do often form quite organically and provided the riders in each group are riding at a similar W/kg then everyone is happy. The worst group rides are those with (usually zpower) riders doing daft wattage on the front with the group behind always chasing to try and hang on.

It used to be you could add a tenths place digit on my.zwift.com, but not in-game.Now, it’s reversed. Go figure.

I have a fault Z-1392 at line 672 and Zwift will NOT load!
Anyone else having problems?

@Karlien_Faber

Can you give us little more detail about this issue? The game app (not the Companion app) works for you, please verify? Are you able to log in, select a world, and begin the ride?

Or are you saying that Companion app does not “see” the game and go into ride mode as it should?

I was having this as well. I ended up using the Saris app for ERG and having my Rotor INspider connected to zwift.

Except this didn’t work when I tried to ride with a bot. Zwift started me by myself in the middle of the desert without a soul or boy around. My internet connection was fine and stable as I still saw names on the right side.

Which BOT did you select? Did you get the screen that you got to select from one of the two active BOTs? If so, probably a bug. Have seen someone else mention this.

Bowie Brevet who was supposed to be doing sands and sequoias. I couldn’t find it so I found an event to join.

Hi, the companion app does not “see” the game. It connects and then disconnects.

After updating i noticed that the wheel names both on my laptop and iphone are not showing in-game.

Today on the Pacific Sprintapalooza ride I led, the leader screen popped up… but stayed blank. Never populated. I eventually just clicked the button to close it.

I asked other riders if they saw the same thing - seemed like MOST of them did. But some saw normal results. Didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which platforms saw blank and which didn’t, or if people had updated or not.

Anyway, just wanted to share in case it’s an issue that needs fixing.

I’m seeing wheel names fine (iPhone Xs Max).

Crash after 10-15minutes, 2 times in a row.

What system are you using? What route? etc.

I had a ride close mid-ride. It just shut off. Internet was fine too.
Do we still get Switzerland or do we have to wait until December now?
I don’t mind waiting a year for Tokyo. It is just killing me not to know.

EDIT I was riding Ventoux using a gaming PC. I will post Strava link here.

Could you take a look at this thread here (Zwift crashes [v 1.0.55226] SOLVED - #8) and provide the info @shooj asks for with regards to your app crashes? Thanks

Because sometimes when we ride their is no other group ride available at the particular moment. So if I want to ride 2.5 W/kg and the group ride is planned for 2W/kg I still join and either pull in front or eventually pull away with some others. Still more fun than a random solo ride in London.

so don’t do rides with fences. Solved.

I like it: it makes it easier to stay with the leader.

Yes, the game app is working fine it seems. The issue is that the companion app does not “see” the game.
