Outdoor XPs wrongly calculated?

Bugs and Support

Hi,

recently I did some outdoor rides. Afterwards I was was wandering about the XP provided by Zwift for these activities. According to Zwift FAQ, you get 5XP per outdoor km.
Here are my dates:

Date Day Outdoor KM XP provided acc Companion 5 XP/km Wrong ? Faktor
01. Aug Saturday 16 85 80 Rounding ? 1,06
02. Aug Sunday 63 870 315 Wrong 2,76
03. Aug Monday 78 1000 390 Wrong 2,56
04. Aug Tuesday 71 1000 355 Wrong 2,82
05. Aug Wednesday 56 805 280 Wrong 2,88
05. Aug Thurday 74 750 370 Wrong 2,03

You see, that I get almost 3 times (2.88) the number of XPs that I should get.
Note: The km were measured twice (once on my Garmin Watch and once on my Garmin Edge). I removed the double entries.

On one day (Saturday) the numbers seem to be right - and this was the only day I used only my Garmin Watch. So somehow this may be related.
However, even if this would be the root cause, I would have expected a constant difference of around twice the XP.

So my question: How are the outdoor XP calculated and why are my numbers so weired ?

Thanks !

I had this issue with 2x, but that’s because I dual record my outside rides on both a Wahoo Roam 3 and my Garmin FR955. I disconnected the Wahoo app and that fixed the issue so I wasn’t getting double XP erroneously.

Gonna guess a lot of folks are ok with the issue not being fixed :slight_smile: If Zwift gives 2x XP for double recording they should probably have some logic to ignore additional activities done at the same time (so if you upload two or more activities that were done at the same time you can only get XP for one of them etc.).
