Hello Zwifters!
Phased rollout of Zwift version 1.73 begins today on Windows / macOS / Android.
Phased rollout to iOS / tvOS begins tomorrow.
- We’ve updated the on-screen stats (HUD)! The top left section now includes a power zone distribution bar and we added the ability to customize the numbers that are shown. You now have 4 customizable number slots from which you can choose cadence, heart rate, kilojoules, calories, stress score, average power, and w/kg.
- We’re actively working on minimap improvements and other aspects of the HUD
- We’ve also updated the center of the heads-up display to include a dynamic elevation display. Any time there’s climbing in your future Zwift will automatically display a zoomed-in elevation display showing the next 800 meters of road gradient.
- A new type of challenge will be added to the Challenges row on September 9. This will be a group of activities that are pre-packaged for you. The first challenge is the Cardio Crusher challenge which will get you sweating and earn you extra XP for completing it.
- Five new routes are now available to free ride and collect badges: Radio Rendezvous, Power to the Tower, Navig8, Mayan 8, and Makuri Pretzel.
- Introduced an improved experience for browsing Training Plans in the home screen.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some of the forest to disappear and reappear on the Suki’s Playground route in Makuri Islands.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some roadways to flicker in New York and Watopia.
- Fixed grass appearing on the roadway on the Quatch Quest route in Watopia.
- Fixed some flickering rocks on the Spirit Forest route in Makuri Islands.
- Fixed an issue where avatar hair could be visible through the Alpine hat.
- Fixed a missing roadside sector marker on the Alpe du Zwift in Watopia.
UPDATE September 3
We’ve found a critical issue in the Windows version of game version 1.73.0. We are pausing rollout to Windows machines, and reverting PC’s to the previous version 1.72.2 while we address this issue.
We anticipate a patch will ship within 24 hours so Windows users can resume using the new features of 1.73.
UPDATE September 4
- Phased rollout to macOS and Android continues.
- Phased rollout of 1.73 to Windows resumes.
- Rollout to Apple TV will begin pending Apple approval.
UPDATE September 5
- Rollout to Apple TV is still pending Apple approval.
- Phased rollout to other OS platforms continues.
UPDATE September 6
- Fixed a crash when syncing Training Peaks workouts without a title. These workouts will now appear in Zwift with a default title.
We are aware of an issue that affects a small percentage of Training Peaks users in game version 1.73.0 being discussed in this thread.
Version 1.73.2 addresses the Training Peaks issue, and is available to Windows / macOS users now on zwift.com/downloads.
Version 1.73.2 for iOS / Android / Apple TV will release next week via the Apple / Play Stores pending review by Apple and Google.
Apple TV users - we are skipping version 1.73.0 and ask for your patience so we can deliver the new heads up display (HUD) without the risk of an app crash in 1.73.2. Thanks for your patience.
Lastly - the following new routes will be available to event organizers, Meetups, and Clubs later next week after version 1.73.2 has released fully to all OS platforms.
