Game Update v 1.84 [February 2025]

Hello Zwifters

Phased release of game version 1.84 begins today to macOS / Windows / Android devices.

Phrased release to iOS / tvOS devices begins tomorrow.

  • The Zwift Games introduce five new routes, featuring fast-paced sprints, challenging climbs, and an Epic finale. Riders will tackle diverse terrains across Makuri Islands, Scotland, London, and beyond, testing outright speed, strength, and endurance in the search for the win. Routes will be available for free-ride prior to the Zwift Games as part of a route chaser challenge and in the events themselves starting in March.
  • New badge alert: The Danger Noodle route in Watopia is now available for free ride.
  • Added an Elevation Display Sensitivity setting to the HUD tab in the Settings menu. The options are Normal, Low, and Off - the default is set to Normal.

  • The Z1 Concept Bike lets you sit more upright because our backs arenā€™t as flexible as they used to be.
  • The Garage icon on the Home screen now displays the new unlocked item badge counter consistent with the Garage icon in the Pause menu.
  • Added new onboarding tips to loading screens.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause an incorrect route name to be shown for completed workouts.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Zwift Concept frame to appear black instead of white when selecting the Zwift Ride color scheme.
  • Fixed an invisible bump in the road after the intersection leading from Countryside to Neokyo in Makuri Islands.
  • Windows: Fixed a crash that could occur when resizing the Zwift window while loading.
  • Windows: Fixed an issue that could cause the Video Screenshots button to be disabled when running Zwift on a non-primary display.
  • tvOS: Fixed an issue that could cause the virtual gear display to be missing after completing a Zwift activity and starting a new activity.
  • iOS, tvOS: General stability improvements.
  • Android: Performance improvements and faster load times.

UPDATE February 19
Phased rollout to all OS platforms is under way.

ā€œAdded an Elevation Display Sensitivity setting to the HUD tab in the Settings menu. The options are Normal, Low, and Off - the default is set to Normal.ā€

Could we also get permanently on - I for one donā€™t mind the display and get annoyed when it suddenly disappears.

When can we expect an update to 1.84?

As stated at the start of the thread, and is the case for every recent release, it is rolled out incrementally, based on platform, but everyone should have it by tomorrow.

thanks Nigel :handshake:

Appreciate the elevation toggle, thanks. itā€™s the little things

I am experiencing an irritating bug. Maybe I just need to RTFM, but my controllers default to the wrong camera view whenever I click on another player and then ā€œback to meā€, or sometimes just whenever I enter an event with them connected at all. The default view is third person, and the view I end up getting is the other third person view which I think is called ā€œThird Person (close up)ā€ or something along those lines. example:

iā€™ve had this issue for a couple months, and the only way to revert back to normal is to change view again, then back to what I originally wanted which is the default third person view. 10 seconds of googling tells me that the default camera view isnā€™t a configurable option so I assume itā€™s a bugā€¦ this is specific to having zwift plays connected, as far as Iā€™m aware. I havenā€™t tried a factory reset yet

It is specific to the plays and is triggered either by a fan view as you mentioned or by changing bikes (even from the home screen).

You can also fix it while riding by bringing up the pairing screen, un-pairing your play controllers and then repairing them. The view that it locks you in is awful. If it just brought you to the regular 3rd person view (as opposed to the slightly zoomed out play controller view) it would be ok but the up close view is TOO CLOSE

I havenā€™t gotten the update yet, but did a workout today and back to no Sterzo steering.

Got the update today and validated that companion app was updated.

Late joined a TdZ stage. Was in a pack with 12 and showed as being a few seconds behind them despite being in the pack. I joined 3.5km in for them, when they were on the shortcut that avoids harlem hill. When we approached the ā€œfigure 8ā€ bit I went right and was on Park Perimeter until the ā€œdistance to goā€ hit 0meters. There was no way to finish the ride.

Throughout the ride, positions and time to riders were broken for me and others. Eventually I took 1st as others hit the finish line, I assume I did more distance. Obviously no credit or position on Zpower.

I suspect this bug has existed a while and is related to the join being on a junction vs the main route. Could just be an update sync issue.

Flawless. I like how the route progress shows that I did the KOM After Party.

I have the same bug. Another way around it is to just turn off one controller and turn it back on. When it re-pairs the view goes back to normal.

Still an odd bug.

Couple of comments made on the Zwift Insider article on 1.84 update effecting myself and others on Android. Unable to select Danger Noodle still showing as ā€˜event onlyā€™, however I am also unable to select the route for a team club event. Tair Dringfa Fechan is also showing as ā€˜event onlyā€™ for me, but I can select the latest new routes.

Genuine question, are zwift actually going to do any big updates soon? I mean nothing since the Jarvis updateā€¦.and that is stretching the ā€œbig update ā€œ quite far. Big subscription update last year = small updates since. Iā€™m not complaining about the game and value of it, so all the fans donā€™t need to tell me what good value it isā€¦ Iā€™m genuinely just questioning the glacial pace of updates since the price increase last year.

The September this season on Zwift was a couple minor features that werenā€™t really what anyone wanted (which didnā€™t all happen) and a bunch of events (which also didnā€™t all happen), maybe in April thereā€™ll be announcements of something noteworthy to hopefully be implemented before next fall.

Based on comments from recent years, undoing the workout rounding bug a was a Herculean effort which explains why itā€™s separately paywalled and nothing else got done
