Game Update v 1.81 [January 2025]

I don’t know why he posted it in the 1.80 thread and not here…

In that case it’s not really a 1.81 thing and shouldn’t be in the 1.81 release notes

Or in a PD5-specific thread. Almost like @Jon doesn’t want community engagement on the issue. Actually it’s exactly that as he states in his post about PD5.

Has this roll out stalled for iOS/ tvOS?

Still not showing for me

The rollout for iOS/tvOS always starts 24 hours later than for Windows and Mac. So that means it only started yesterday morning US West Coast time. So not everyone will have had it yet - you will lkkely either get it later today or tomorrow.

Quickest way to bury a mea culpa is to post it in a thread that “expires” since it’s an app version thread.

You need at least 8 people to agree and act based on the rider’s behavior. This is very rare and only seems to happen when people are either verbally abusive or pushing very unrealistic watts. If you were flagged, it is probably time to reflect on your account details or equipment’s accuracy.

This is what should be happening currently, you’ll see it next to the workout block. Let me know if this isn’t your experience.

Except they don’t expire and if they wanted to “bury” the update it would’ve been posted on Reddit where other Zwift hot topics that get ignored here are updated there.

Did you miss the quotes around the word “expire”?
I said that because that’s essentially what happens.
Someone looking through the forums 6 months from now won’t think twice about looking in a Zwift version thread that doesn’t mention PD5 in the announcement in the initial posting.
The acknowledgement of it is around post 220.
I’d call that buried.

Good to know! Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place. I’ll confirm on my next workout.

Still haven’t received the MacOS update either. Anyone else?

I haven’t even got it on Win 11 yet

My MacMini M2 updated this morning around 11AM CST.
I checked it earlier in the day and it didn’t have the update available.

Looking under Zwift Game section at least for me, I don’t even see the 1.80 topic, it’s like it has been hidden. I had the link saved.

I usually browse the forums with this -

Is there a way to force the 1.81 update? I’m having some freezing/crashes and it would be nice to get it asap to see if that fixes it

Hi @Brianh, so long as nothing changes unexpectedly, we are targeting having the new release available for 100% of Zwifters by tomorrow (Friday) before noon US Pacific time.

Were there some changes to road textures in this or the last update? Particularly on iOS? I just did the ZRS Stage 2: Beach Island Loop race and the roads around and through the volcano seemed to be a lot more beat up and pot-holey than they used to be.

Looks like they are made of lava now.
