Game Update v 1.99 [October 2025]

What's New? Zwift Game
1

Hello Zwiters! The phased rollout of game version 1.99 begins today for Windows / macOS / Android devices. The phased rollout for iOS and tvOS devices begins tomorrow.

  • Zwifters can now unlock the JetBlack cycling kit by riding with any JetBlack trainer - just connect to the trainer in the Pairing screen and enjoy your ride!
  • Improved connection reliability for trainers paired via Wi-Fi.
  • Zwift now includes device linking, allowing users to connect their heart rate monitor to Zwift via their new KICKR CORE 2 trainer in the pairing screen.
  • Fixed an issue where relayed sensors may be duplicated on the Pairing screen when using the Wahoo Kickr Core 2.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause virtual shifting to be unavailable for Zwifters using the new Zwift Click if they had previously disabled virtual shifting for Zwift Play controllers.
  • Improved the appearance of some pedestrians in Paris.
  • Windows: Fixed a crash that could occur when exiting Zwift with devices connected via ANT+.

I’m intrigued! Did the IRL Parisiens complain that their digital selves were neither sexy enough (un oeuff?!) or not stylish enough?

Does any fix cover my issue in bugs and issues section?

Also still no W/Bal option for HUD choices.

Maybe they’ve put smiles on them. :thinking:

Realism be damned!

No ‘turn off’ option for the recent added visuals :sad_but_relieved_face:

The Zwifties know better than you about what you want to see :rofl:

Can I hope for a big fix of the tilt on Wahoo Kickr bike using direct connection?

Alternatively a fix of the ANT+ causing a freeze of the Kickr bike shifter?

At a point of time this situation reminds me when ZWIFT was in competition with Wahoo and no longer focused on Wahoo specific bugs. Are we all agree this time is over and ZWIFT and Wahoo are pushing to sell CORE 2 and bike Pro :sweat_smile:?

Pretty happy with Zwift of late, no problems with the Companion App lately either. You also need a reasonably solid hardware setup for reliability, people defiantly under estimate what it takes to run it without issues and get decent fps numbers.

@shooj when you mention that this version improves connection reliabilities for trainers paired via WiFi, does it also include DirCon connection? Last 2 months I’m suffering from sudden disconnects and dropouts, sometimes for 10 seconds, sometimes my trainer just doesn’t come up again. And I have been riding flawless on my kickr bike v2 for the rest of the year so far, except the last 2 months. I was about to create a ticket, but maybe you can tell me if this version tackles my issues. Clearly this is a software issue, but how to fix this? I noticed the same issue with other friends with a kickr bike v2.
