Game update v 1.78 [November 2024]

Hey @R_onald - I’m taking a look at your logs and will share with the team internally. If you haven’t already, I would try an uninstall/reinstall of Zwift first before the factory reset.

Let me know if you see any improvements after these steps.

had this when joining a pace bot the other night, think it was danny diesel on one of the French routes, might have been casse pattes and was in the pack then they deviated and went up the petit kom followed by going up ventoux

Thanks for your reply. I did a re-install and a quick test. This time no crash. Fingers crossed it will stays this way

Can we please get an option to turn off the emoticons when someone uses a emote during the rides.

I know only a few are testing it now, but it clutters the screen and I can even see the road ahead and cant see if anyone escapes at the front.
Just had on guy doing 15 minutes of ride on’s this morning and it got really annoying after a few times. And with everyone having emoticons it will even be worse.

So please, please, please, before this goes live for everybody give us an option to turn it off.

Thank you for the feedback, @Peter_Twigt! I’ve shared your input with the team internally, and we’ll take it into consideration as we continue working on the feature. At this time, I don’t have any updates to share regarding changes or timelines.

Any issues with trainer control with the news Zwift update I noticed when I am doing a workout this resistance is really high and I can barely pedal and then it disengages erg mode and I have absolutely no power…it shows that I’m connected, but nothing is happening. I can perform a spin down test successfully so I know it is connected. It’s clearly seeing my RPMs change, but I get no connectivity while I’m actually trying to do a workout or in game.

In ZRL broadcasts the ride on thumbs were always mini sized. Can we get that as an option?

And agreed that a blue glowing hovering emoticon when there’s already an actual motion (like a wave) is a poor idea. I’m really confused about why you’re not just eliminating the annoying ones (I’m toast, ride on! Drop the hammer etc)

The screen is already too cluttered… and this screen shot doesn’t have the new climb portal active, so it can get even worse! Can you even see the road ahead anymore??

All these elements should be user customizable. I dont need the vs junk, or close the gap messages or other peoples name badges… I’d rather see the road and worlds that your artists work so hard to develop.

I don’t forget about blue thumbs, powerups, coffee stop and the new emoticons. It can, and does, get much worse.

I really wonder why no one at Zwift laughed hard when this was proposed and told that this is a very bad idea.

Probably proposed by someone who doesnt Zwift him/herself.

Even the name label, solid black background spanning the width if the road. At least make those elements translucent like the HUD background.

Just tried, before i never had any issues with virtual shifting, now middle in ride the shift stucks, when shift up or down in rolls over all gears. Example gear was 1-4 and when shifting up it rolls to 1-12. Shifting down it rolls back to 1-1. Finally the virtual bike was not moving anymore, and i had to abort the ride. I use zwift ride with kickr core.

I’m having issues when I start a ride with a RP. I either get “the destination you selected is no longer available” and then go straight to the RP with no pedal assist or it starts as per normal with pedal assist and then I shoot off the front at what seems like 100kmph and end up on my own. I then have to teleport back to the RP.

Can we have this in the December upgrade please.
Asking for a friend :wink:

The steering changes are worse than the emojis.

You have to hold down the steering button to stop Zwift diverting you from your intended line.

When I use the steering it’s because I want to ride at the edge away from others. Overriding that is very annoying.

At least with emojis they are decorative only. The steering changes are not!

Better one person annoyed than everyone else thinking “who’s pi$$ed (or worse!) in their bibs?” :wink:

Chris is right it’s bloody annoying and makes steering pointless now, if I steer somewhere I want to stay there unless I change I again otherwise what’s the point of steering just a waste of money.
