Are you bluetooth or ANT+?
It feels like this has been worked on. I just did the same Denise Drops PP ride on Wandering Flats as last week, with the same set-up (KICKR 2018 and Win 10 PC, using Bluetooth only).
Leaving Yumezi for Neokyo, I could feel no change whatsoever. In the other direction, there was a very short-duration, small increase in resistance at that point, but nothing like before.
The Yumezi/Neokyo transition seems to be better, if not completely resolved, but still a number of issues like this in Watopia (at least on ATV). Noticed issues today approaching the Jungle entrance (near āforce fieldā) and in two places where Desert Flats meets the Epic KOM road. Needs to be resolved.
At what I figure is 2.39 km into the route, my kickr climb gets triggered for an elevation increase but I can see no elevation change on screen. Itās consistently happening for me, I dunno if that is captured in my saved rides but they are available. It happens just before the odometer updates to 2.4 km, in the Italian village?
This issue, in general, seems to be coming back. Maybe not at the Makuri/Neokyo intersection, but at multiple intersections in Watopia, for sure. I went through a couple last night while riding Beach Island Loop that were reasonably severe.
iPad OS (latest version)
Zwift (latest version)
Yes, the issue is still happening. Still experiencing the momentary extreme resistance hit on the Beach Island Loop and have also seen it recently on Volcano flat reverse, just after climbing the dirt track up to the fountain you bear right still going up then slightly down and just around there you get a high resistance hit.
Update.
Managed to see this issue in a bit more detail on a slower ride. Just after the fountain and veering right there is what looks like a step down in the road before a building. As you hit this where the road drops you get the strange resistance hit.
IPAD IOS
Bluetooth.
Hey all, this bug has been fixed in game version 1.27.0 which released today. Please update Zwift at your earliest convenience and let us know if everythingās working as it should now (or not). Thanks for your patience.

Iām not 100% sure if this is the same issue but I rode the EVO race today on Wandering Flats and a short time after leaving the city and entering the open countryside, the other avatars were at a different elevation to me (they were higher) followed by a ājumpā in the graphics (imagine riding through a massive pothole) before it settled down to normal again.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a bigger issue. Iām using a KICKR v5 with a KICKR CLIMB, connected over Bluetooth. Iām on Zwift 1.27.0, and Iāve noticed these sudden gradient changes lately in many worlds. To name just a few Watopia Jungle loop, Hilly loop, Makuri Islands Wandering Flats, France R.G.V (really bad in certain places). At the moment in almost every course Iāve tried where there are flattish sections with minor gradient changes the CLIMB with go down step by step in small ājerksā a handful of times only to smoothly go back to were it was, and then the process repeats. In France RGV, about half way through, the CLIMB behaves as described previously on flattish sections, but can also suddenly dip excessively and then return to where it should be. These dips are not at intersections. This happened three of four times during the last half of the ride.
Somehow it seems like the gradient data needs to be āsmoothedā for every course on Zwift.
Thanks for your report. When you were on Jungle Loop, Wandering Flats and R.G.V., were you able to reproduce this issue at the section of those routes? If so, would you be willing to help us pinpoint by screenshotting where it occurs?
The bug described upstream is on specific sections of the Makuri map, and we were able to determine why that intersection had this bug. In your case - because this occurs on different routes on several worlds, I would like to eliminate other possibilities. Letās start by making sure that the firmware on your KICKR CLIMB on the latest firmware. Instructions are on Wahooās Support Site.
After that step - would you mind seeing if you can reproduce the issue on those routes?
False alarmā¦
It turned out that thereās a hardware issue with my CLIMB thatās causing the issues Iām havingā¦

@shooj while the gradient āfeelā seems to have been corrected at the Neokyo/Makuri intersection, there is now (or maybe it was even there before) a crazy visual glitch. Itās like the visual equivalent of what riders were feeling in gradient before. Itās like the two parts of the āworldā are disconnected and the patch for one ābrokeā the other. It would be great if both the visual and feel would actually work at the same time. (Iām on ATV, by the way.)
PC - itās worse than I recall (havenāt been on Mahuri for a while). Iāve hit it a few times in past few days with Maap event and disconcerting and way more annoying than it was when the Climb crew first noticed. Just another thing they break, make worse and will never address.
This game is looking more and more like a alpha/beta implementation.
Change view to 3 and take a look, how funny jumps riders are doing there

I see this too. Coming from the Neokyo side, when you get to the farmlands intersection there is a 2d plane that is above the road you were just on. You can even see under it! When you get to the point where you do the actual turn you (and everyone else) bumps upward.
I had the same issue
Ingemar, Iām having the same issue with my Climb. Iāve asked Wahoo for help but they told me it was Zwift miscommunicating with my trainer and to do all their bluetooth restarts. Unfortunately, the Climb did this same thing on three different Wahoo trainers. What hardware issues did you have?
Dorothy. After I noticed that my Climb behaved in a similar manner even with other software like Wahoo RGT and Rouvy I started to investigate further. I noticed that the Climb didnāt behave properly even when using the built-in remote. When pressing the up/down buttons on the remote it didnāt respond every time. Sometimes it even went up when I was pressing the down button and vice versa. I captured a 30 second video of the built-in remote behavior and sent it to Wahoo. They quickly replied that the unit was faulty and offered a replacement unit since my Climb was still under warranty.
Thanks for the reply! Iāll try it on RGT and Rouvy and see what happens. Iāll still do their BT restarts so I can eliminate that as well. Ride on!
