Game Update v 1.75 [October 2024]

Hello Zwifers!

Phased rollout of game version 1.75 begins today to Windows / macOS / Android devices.
Phased rollout to iOS / tvOS begins tomorrow.

All Platforms

  • When long messages are shown in the HUD (e.g., Ride Ons received from a Zwifter with a long name), the message now scrolls instead of being truncated.
  • Fixed an issue that could potentially prevent Zwifters from completing events on the Sleepless City route in Makuri Islands.

Windows

  • Fixed a potential visual issue that could occur when Zwifting through underwater tunnels.

tvOS

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the steering force field effect not to be visible.
  • Fixed an issue that could potentially cause the virtual shifting “Shift Style” setting to not be remembered between sessions.

iOS

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the “Quit Event” button to overlap with the “Menu” button when participating in an event on some Apple tablets.

Android

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the “Quit Event” button to overlap with the “Menu” button when participating in an event on some Android tablets.

UPDATE October 1
We detected a potential game crash in our telemetry and have paused the release of version 1.75.0 while we investigate.

  • Zwifters who received the 1.75.0 update will be automatically moved back to the previous 1.74.2 release.
  • Android users who received the 1.75.0 update will see their new game version as 1.75.1, which is identical to 1.74.2.

UPDATE October 4
Phased rollout of Zwift version 1.75.2 begins today on Windows/macOS

  • Fixed a crash that may occur when exiting the app

Version 1.75.2 for iOS / Apple TV will release next week via the Apple App Store pending review by Apple.
Android users - we are working to resolve a potential app crash in 1.75.2 and will release as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE October 7
Phased rollout of game version 1.75.2 begins today on iOS / tvOS / Android.
Phased rollout of 1.75.2 continues to Windows / macOS.

UPDATE October 8
Phased rollout of version 1.75.2 to all OS platforms is complete.

Just a quick question, why don’t the Pace Partners shown on the map when you ride with them on the android app? :thinking:
It’s fully updated.
It shows my followers as Red dots, but nothing for the Pace Partners.
They show on the mini map on the Zwift on my PC screen.

Just FYI there have been reports of degraded graphical frame rate performance specifically in group rides but not free rides as of 1.74 on Windows.

If there are frame rate hits using 1.75.0, we’d like to hear from those Zwifters directly in this thread so we can look into what’s happening. We can’t do that for thirdhand reports, so please send them this way @calfzilla

like a year minimum dave lol

this was a team race from last night so i was locked in and i can’t exactly remember if i was experiencing it ingame or if my stream settings just suck, but there’s a lot of stuttering happening here that hasn’t been present in any of my other streams. i think my bitrate was a stable 18000k though and i don’t recall seeing any dropped frames

i’m not able to get to the PC with the zwiftalizer file on it for now but i’ll get it later this evening

i3 12100f
gtx 1080

edit: cut the first timestamp out as the 2nd one shows it happening intermittently if you keep watching. skip around though as it was happening throughout

Another instance, user reported frame rates severely reduced in the ride which ended as soon as he crossed the finish line for the event:

Hi @Malcolm_Edwards

I looked through your recent server log history, and don’t see any egregious-looking problems. Coincidentally, I noticed that your Apple TV box updated to tvOS 18 on September 30 The 18.1 mile ride that day on Mountain Mash appears to have gone without incident, so the OS update seems not have made that much impact.

Subsequently - I’m seeing you log in from the Apple TV multiple times, and abandon the session (i.e. no proper “log out” was recorded). This can confuse the server if done in quick succession because the server is expecting you to save-and-exit or trash-and-exit your session. Please always do that so that things run better on the server end.

In addition - force-closing the Zwift app after you’re done helps clear out temp files, which helps the app run better on your end. Here’s how.

Would you power off/on the AppleTV, and be mindful of those things? Please let us know if that helped or not?

Any news in the re-launch of 1.75? Lots of big events tomorrow…. :face_with_peeking_eye:

@Sam_Crofts
There should be no events that have version 1.75.x as a prerequisite if that’s what you mean?

We did find a root cause for the issue in 1.75.0 but we are not planning on releasing tomorrow if that is the concern.

A post was split to a new topic: Zwift Hub connection unstable on Samsung tablet

Thanks; yes the concern was a re-release today with then some having to update with the hope it’s now good and a mix of game versions in the events.

Thanks again.

Thank you for addressing the Android Menu/Quit Event overlap issue!

Speaking of Android, I’ve had an “open” ticket for well over a year now regarding distance back to riders at the bottom of screen not being shown. It’s been months since I’ve replied to the last email…should I do so again to see if there has been any movement? Or just forgotten about altogether?

Also, is there a specific forum where I can make suggestions? I’d really like to see the START of segments on the mini map in-game. In big groups I sometimes miss the beginning of a segment. Also, it would be nice to have the start and end of segments shown on the Zwift Companion App map (the ends may already be on there…I can’t remember, but I know the starts aren’t).

Thanks for all the hard work.
