Might want to read through this to see if you find anything:

Hi @Leigh_Howard, welcome to Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.

Let’s dive in and explore some tips to get everything running smoothly again.

Zwift may occasionally face issues when multiple devices, such as heart rate monitors or cadence sensors, attempt to connect simultaneously. To avoid connection problems, ensure that no other apps, like your trainer’s, are running in the background and inadvertently taking over the connection.

Try this sequence:

  • Completely close Zwift.
  • Turn on your trainer and let it fully boot.
  • Open Zwift and pair the trainer first (controllable, power, and cadence).
  • Then pair your HR monitor last.

JetBlack frequently releases firmware updates to improve connectivity. Check the JetBlack App to see if an update is available.

If you’re on Bluetooth, try switching to ANT+ (if available) or vice versa. Sometimes one works more reliably than the other.

If it still happens, a full trainer reset (unplugging for 5 minutes) can sometimes help, and reset game preferences.

Super thanks for the help but how does one change from Bluetooth to Ant? I’ve been through the very light/rough/rudimentary jetblack app, and there’s zero option for that. My brand new Victory worked 3x no problem in zwift and now the rider will not pedal even though everything is connected. Zwift is no help. The trainer works in rouvy.

First, if you are using virtual shifting you cannot use ANT+ because that feature requires Bluetooth. If you are not using virtual shifting, you can add an ANT+ USB dongle to a PC or Mac.

are you running Zwift in Android? update 1.86 broke connectivity with the Victory for Android.

Same problem… I don’t know what to do! Udpate 1.86, victory and Android. :weary_face:
