Why would you pick different start points for a set route? Given the nature of Zwift it has to be the stupidest decision in the gaming world. Its like starting G.T.A on level 1 one day and level 8 the next.
To the best of my knowledge there isnāt different start points for a set route.
Can you elaborate?
Trying to help you out but with an attitude like that Iāll be surprised if you get any further answers.
All the spawn points for a given route are within a few meters of eachother. If you are experiencing something else then youāre doing it wrong.
About 400m apart actually.The closest starts on the flat 200m from the start line. The furthest is 600m on a 4% downslope. It can change my overall time by 30 sec. Because i started at the 300m start point sometimes i have to go in and out of āHilly routeā 25 times to start at that mark.
For clarification, there is a difference between the start of the route and the spawning location (the place where a rider actually enters the game). The āroutesā always start in the same place. We spawn or enter the game before the route actually begins and that does vary to some degree. The spawning point is more of a staging āareaā instead of a single spawning spot. When one considers how many users are entering a route at any given time, this makes a lot of sense. Just observe spawning locations as you pass them in game. Sometimes there can be 100 or more riders that have entered the game but havenāt moved yet. They are spread out along the side of the road, all starting at a somewhat different spot. If we were all consistently spawning in the exact same spot, weād all be on top of one another. We would enter the game not being able to see our own avatar. By spreading us out some when we first spawn or enter the game, it improves the overall game experience. Hope that helps explain it.
I think heās pointing out the absurdity of the response to your offer of help.
You have this completely the wrong way round. Tom was pointing out the terrible attitude of the OP / defending you.
Stuart, Iām very sorryāI was trying to highlight the OPās temper tantrum, but I can absolutely see in hindsight how it could have been taken the wrong way. Please accept my apology for my bad communication word thing.
Tom,
Apology not required if your intention was as described in your post above this.
It appears your message was ambiguous in its meaning. All clarified now.
Itās not the first time that I have tried to be a bit funny and had something fall flat, so Iām sticking with my apology Peace
