Asking again - any news on when the schedules for stages 7 and 8 will be released?
I think weāre looking at this week.
Very typical visual bug, been around for years.
I am not necessarily convinced that it is a bug. When I was doing stage 1 the other evening, I had a blue cap on, others had orange, couple of helmets, some naed heads. I figured it was just for variety, given that we are all wearing the same jersey, shorts, etc.
To be fair ⦠I didnāt actually look at anyoneās socks.
Daveās right, itās a bug. What youāre seeing is what everyone elseās avatar was set up with for headgear and socks outside this event. Everyone sees their own avatar wearing the eventās configured headgear and socks, but everyone elseās with their standard ones and not event ones. Itās been like this for ages.
Could it be a feature to make people see themselves more easily in the crowd?
Thank you @Ride_Cyclery for solving the āTdZ Stage 1 not showing in zwiftpowerā issue.
Kudos
Thatās what I assumed, not a bug, but a smart idea!
Fair enough. I kinda like it though ⦠gives a more varied feel to the Peloton and (as someone else pointed out) makes it easy to see which one is you.
Cheers for the interesting replies and discussion concerning kit appearance, @Dave_ZPCMR @David_Cooper_DIRT @Steve_Hammatt @OleKristian @Neil_McGurk. I can believe that it might be unintentional, but agree that it does actually help with identifying oneās own avatar at a glance.
Would an insider be able to tell us whether weāre all supposed to see everyone wearing TdZ caps and socks, like in the promo shots? @James_Zwift @shooj?
Am just really curious!
Iām going to try to have a look when I do stage 3 later on today.
So, word on the street is that all forced assets (jersey, helmet, socks, etc) will appear on your avatar.
For all assets that are not jerseys, youāll see what other riders have equipped in their garage.
Yes, itās a bug, but probably more of a feature.
Most bugs are features, right?
We have this raised as ETAS-2356. Probably the same āfeatureā that means if you change your bike/kit in the pen, some others donāt see if and think youāre doing a draft race on a TT bike.
Hi, I still donāt my Stage 1 A ride showing on Zwift Power (the 10-Jan 17:00 (UK)), this might be correct as in itās not yet fixed, but I see another user says their ride was fixed (might be another ride to mine tbf)
cheers
Not showing up in ZP for me either (10-Jan 9AM PST).
Oh wait, so if you join an event with at TT bike, swap it ahead of the timer hitting 0 then folks see your TT bike and not the one youāre actually riding - for the whole race? If so then Iām gonna do that for sure
Yes, that is how it works, but may I recommend using the Buffalo Bike instead.
I donāt have the buffalo bike, maybe a MTB?
Yeah, that one I can certainly live with as well. If I see a TT bike in a group, Iām just mentally conditioned to waiting for the inevitable crash to happenā¦
