Pace Partners FAQ [August 2020]

Coco is back now, but not the others.

FWIW I checked just now on Apple TV BEFORE applying the update and could only see Coco

Applied update and it was still the same

Same on android

I noticed the same all day today, no pace partners could be selected.

They are a great idea, I’ve been using the A grade one as training and the B grade bot as an easier recovery ride.

Yep had no pace partners since the update on Monday, posted on the Game Update thread as well. Have submitted a support ticket today. Annoying as I have found them to be a really good addition.
Cheers.

Update everyone - Pace Partners have been temporarily disabled because we discovered some work that needs to be done.

We’ll re-enable as soon as we can, and will update this thread when they’re back.

Please hurry. I miss the bots already.

IMHO the bots were the best thing that has happened in Zwift for a long-time. I’ve done many years of group rides, workouts etc etc and the bots were terrific! Where else could I learn new phrases like ‘Hard Yakka?’
Last weekend Coco went a little off-plan and then boom! An update and then the bots disappear?
Yes, they are Future Works, but to me and others, they were Now Works - far better than anything else.
I am stuck at level 50 with drops galore, a Tron and too many jerseys. The bots made it worthwhile. Am I forced to go to RGT and the new Veloton platform with their phalanx of bots - on demand?
Please bring them back and drop the rain or some other useless feature and allow them space.
Ride on - Dave.

@Dave_Owen_KRT, they aren’t gone permanently, they are being “fixed”. See Shuji’s response in this thread.

And I thought CoCo had stood me up on our date night the other night… good to hear its just temporary. I have integrated the use of the bots in some endurance training. They are perfect for knocking out long, consistent paces. I bet I share a good 1000 plus miles with CoCo easily!

Dear Zwift. How deep can you actually sink in the view of the user ?
