Hello Zwifters!

Phased rollout of game version 1.95 starts today on macOS / Windows / Android devices. Phased rollout to iOS / tvOS begins tomorrow.

  • Looking for a friendly wheel to join? Zwifters will now receive a notification when a mutually following friend starts Zwifting in the same world. Simply use the Teleport feature to join them.

  • We made some improvements to ensure that bike upgrades are unlocked via genuine efforts.

  • Windows: The Ultra graphics profile is now enabled for the following graphics cards: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, Intel Arc 140V.

  • iOS: Various visual improvements for M-series iPads.

    • All M series iPads will now have improved bike and rider shadows.

    • All M3 iPads will have the above and higher color and shadow resolution.

    • All M4 iPads will have the above and even higher shadow resolution.

    • Additionally, we will continue to explore other opportunities to further improve graphics on M series iPads and will share further updates once available.

according to Eric it is :

“Zwift has told me that they don’t plan to retroactively apply these rules…”

Is Intel Arc graphics the same as Arc 140v? My laptop has Arc graphics but I cannot tell if it is Arc 140v. Is there a more description or process such that I can tell if my hardware matches this new feature?

You can pull up details in Windows > System Properties.

Search for 140V on this page to find the handful of CPUs that include that iGPU:

I know a few Zwifters that have hundreds and hundreds of mutual followers… will they be able to turn the notifications off? :thinking:

Its not that obtrusive really, the message is up in the center hud the same place where you see how many miles left you have on a bike upgrade. I hardly notice them myself as I’m more focused on other things.

I agree that it is unobtrusive but also see the point in being able to disable it.

genuine question, what was the thought process when implementing this? some users will get lots of notifications, shall we given them the option to disable/reduce them? No…was there nobody in the development team who brought up well what if people don’t like the notifications, shall we give them the option to disable it?

I’m more impressed that ZwiftHQ have finally admitted that a number of riders heavily used exploits to upgrade frames for racing…

But then introduces criteria on how to get credit for upgrades going forward, five months after the awful concept was released.

Yet has no intention of stripping cheaters of the upgrades acquired in poor taste.

The cheating was pointed out within days of release back in March.

What.

A

Joke.

I guess its safe to say that AppleTV isnt ever going to get the graphics bump that so many people have been hoping for?…..Unless the next gen comes out with an M chip
