New Zwift Home Screen Update [April 2022]

Hey Zwift HQ. No national intolerance here but when does Canada get on the list, eh? You know, America’s cousin to the north. For clarity, I don’t mean french speaking Canadians.

User based roll out not country based.

I was talking specifically about events you have already signed up for, not a general future event exploration feature. I remember a headline explicitly saying something like “Your next event” so I would expect the next signup to show up there if only as a reminder even if you obviously can’t do anything else about it.

(Can you even use the events webpage to see your own signups apart from going to each individual event?)

I am still on the original Home Screen, and have not seen any differences, my brother’s account has all the same settings as mine, but he has the new Home Screen, and I do not. Just wondering when I will get it and what is going on

It is three months to the day since the first official announcement in these Forums about some Windows users already having the new UI. Can anyone explain why this rollout is happening so very slowly? Still many PC users don’t have it (apparently), never mind the others.

I don’t work in this field so perhaps I lack an essential appreciation for the needs of such an operation, but it feels like this is being done manually in tny batches. Seems… odd. What could the reason for this be?

I do have the new UI and it’s nothing life-changing, but it seems weird for the interface that users of an online platform experience to be different over such a long time.

seems to be a caching issue with it as no matter what browser I use it only seems to show the first event I look at and every other event is the same, I can throw up a video of this if you want

this was done in opera with a completely clean slate

Can anyone with the new Home screen comment, can you still pick workouts from Training Peaks on the workouts screen and use them? It isn’t mentioned in the documentation and I use the extensively, probably 95% of my rides are Training Peaks workouts.

Looks like it’s language based if you read above, which is pretty much ‘by country’. Major gaming companies would never get away with handing out updates in a piecemeal fashion like this. Beta testing should be complete in-house and then released when ready to everyone.

It would be really appreciated by all if we could just get the new Home Screen. Very annoying to see updates containing new improved links and developments to something not all users are able to access.

Where did you get that from? It’s by user, not by country/language.

Totally agree with that. Not nice to officially advertise that with newsletters before everyone have it.

I am still on the old UI on my Win 10 PC. I did receive an email from Zwift yesterday evening introducing the new home screen so I am assuming that it will be rolled out to more users soon.

Somewhere in one of these home screen threads there was mention that the roll out was expanded from just English language to a few other languages. So technically it has been user/language based since the rollout started.

It’s in the OP.

Thank you everyone.
I found a way to revert to the old home screen.
I’m Japanese, but the language setting for ZWIFT was English.
After rebooting with a language setting other than English, I returned to the old home screen.
Set the language setting to English and reboot to return to the new home screen.

Language based is some way from being country-based.

Quote “The new home screen will begin a phased roll out to Zwifters on Windows and macOS who’ve selected German, Japanese, Spanish, or French as their UI language.” This suggests that the english version is stable enough to put the update through translation so it should be available to English speakers using Windows or macOS.

“should be available” and “is available” are obviously not the same in this case… :slightly_smiling_face:

It would be nice if someone at Zwift would let us know what percentage of users in each available language though…

Looks like it is time to learn Japanese.

Zwift never uses its social media platforms or subscriber email list for anything other than advertising. It leaves commentary on practical game matters to third parties like GP Lama and Zwift Insider. That way it has plausible deniability on any related matter. Personally I’d love to know how many subscriber dollars go toward sponsoring pro riders and events.

Yes, I can choose the home screen, so it’s worth learning Japanese :rofl:

I don’t know if everyone can do it, but the old home screen was available in English.

  1. Change language settings other than English and restart ZWIFT.
  2. Set the language setting to English on the pairing screen.
  3. Before exiting ZWIFT, reset the language setting to something other than English on the pairing screen.
