Phased rollout to iOS / tvOS devices begins tomorrow.

All Platforms

  • Items in the Garage (frames, wheels, kit) are now automatically sorted by most recent use.
  • Zwifters have a new cycling badge to collect! The BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits route in Scotland is now available for all Zwifters and grants XP and a badge upon completion.
  • Zwifters now earn 1.5x bonus XP when doing workouts on Tour of Watopia routes.
  • Looking for a friendly wheel to join? Zwifters will now receive a notification when a mutually following friend starts Zwifting in the same world. Simply use the Teleport feature to join them.
  • Runners can now open the Pairing screen and continue running in-game at the same time.
  • The gradient percentage shown in the dynamic elevation display now changes more smoothly during a climb.
  • The symbol for the distance indicator in the HUD has now been updated to provide 100% (IYKYK) clarity.
  • The font size in the left section of the HUD has been increased to improve readability.
  • The estimated difficulty and duration for the Navig8 and Power to the Tower routes in Watopia are now more accurate.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Zwifters Nearby list to not be visible when fan viewing another Zwifter in an event paddock.
  • Fixed an issue where the virtual shifting gear indicator was not displayed after pausing a workout.
  • Fixed an issue that could potentially cause flashing orbs to appear on the Epic KOM in Watopia.

Zwift Insider post about this update: Zwift Update Version 1.77 (136131) Released | Zwift Insider

(Includes some info about Wahoo KICKR Bike gearing showing in the HUD…)

Kickr bike gearing is not for V1 unfortunately. While non-wahoo solutions can do it (out of Zwift). Big let down on side of Wahoo/Zwift to be honest. Those things were not cheap and it’s so basic it’s odd it’s not included.

Minus points for both, especially Wahoo, when looking to upgrade Kickr Bike.

IMHO, it’s 100% on Zwift, if other software platforms can read and display KICKR BIKE / SHIFT gear information.
There is an extensive thread on having external devices show the gears, so it’s a simple Bluetooth capture. There should not be any Wahoo firmware updates needed to show gears on Zwift.

Another question: what exactly does „select“ button do? On Kickr Bike Shift it seems to do anything if one didn’t navigate manually to the menu. Then it only selects current option or is it more useful than that?

It seemed to me it’s just there to select the current option, fine if that’s the option you want, but if not, you have to go back to use your mouse or touch screen.
The other thing missing was you can’t return a ride on using the ride on bomb button, like you can with the play controllers.
Both issues for Wahoo though I believe?

Kickr Shift gear display was stuck on gear 8 all ride earlier.

11

The radeon rx 7600 has enough performance for Zwift, but still has low texture quality in the game.

12

The bug in gravel roads reported here is still present

Same in the “Dirty Sorpresa Climb”

Hello Zwifters
Please note Apple TV rollout is pending Apple review.

I had a similar issue - I have my SHIFT set to SRAM, and only the right shifter worked. I could go harder gears but not easier gears.
I found out that my SHIFT had reverted to Shimano configuration.
I re-enabled the SRAM profile in the Wahoo App, and all was good.

@_Rainy we’ll have your RX 7600 GPU and other known RX 7XXX series GPUs added to the Ultra profile in the next 1.78 game release :grinning:

The good thing: I see my gears on the HUD. Very nice, thank you! :slight_smile:

The bad thing: Bluetooth setup via PC is buggy now. It flickers and shows different constellations of Kickr Bike LAN, Kickr Bike BT, Zwift Power L and Zwift Power R. Most of the time not the complete list. When checked, it flickers again and presents a new combination with randomly checked boxes. Had to ride without Zwift Power for 2 days now. :frowning:

This might be a bug with 1.77. But it could be a bug from the latest Wahoo Kickr Bike patch. That patch came on 2024-10-29, too. Or it could be a result of both patches.

Weird thing about the Kickr Bike: When connected via WLAN I see the Watts on the HUD, but the bike doesn’t move.

How is this phased? Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I want my bonus workout XP, thank you very much :stuck_out_tongue:

In short: No

Thanks for the report, improvements to the edges of gravel roads are coming in the next game release.

Only if you can speed up time. :slight_smile: I once made a time machine, but it took about a day to go 24 hours into the future.
