Thanks Mike, I am using ANT+ dongle. I will do some more testing after work tomorrow evening and report back.
@Richard_Barnhill Would it be possible for you to verify ERG mode is working when the KICKR v5 is connected over Bluetooth? That would help to isolate the issue as ANT+ related (and not something related to the game logic). If ERG mode does not work over Bluetooth, then that also helps us to search for the reported issue.
For others reporting trainer issues, it can be very helpful to provide us more information about the issue:
- Trainer manufacturer and model
- Connection to trainer (ANT+ or Bluetooth or network connection)
- If Bluetooth connection, was it through Zwift Companion?
- Device running the Zwift game (and the OS version of the device)
- Device (if any) running Zwift Companion
KICKR 5, ANT +, MacBook MACOS 12.6, IPhone.
Ok, I have an interesting findingâŚ
If I try ANT + on my PC, no ERG.
If I try Bluetooth on my PC, no ERG.
If I switch to force the Bluetooth to run through my Pixel 3A, then ERG starts working!
However, here is the funky partâŚ
If I go back into Pairing and switch from âBluetooth in Companionâ to âBluetooth in the PCâ, ERG still works, but if I disable Bluetooth on my Phone while in the workout, then ERG turns off. So, it is odd because I asked Bluetooth to start routing through my PC, but it looks like it sort of holds on to the phone, allowing ERG to work - until I hard cut the connection.
Anyway, looks like the root of the issue is with the connection to the PC, so that is a step forward!

Iâm another with ERG issues:
- Zwift running on Windows 10 PC
- Tacx Neo (latest firmware 0.2.1/0.7.4/0.8.4)
- Connected via ANT+ (Tacx USB ANT+)
- Donât use the companion app
- ERG mode ON
- Neo connected and showing as controllable, cadence and power
Been running the same setup for years, and have done the same workout programme for the past 3 weeks, only change seems to be the Zwift upgrade (which Zwift forced at the start of my workout). Resistance doesnât noticeably change, detected power level will vary from 80-110 depending on cadence (70-90). Workout requires a power increase, but ERG mode doesnt seem to âengageâ
you forgot to add removal of working erg mode!

@Zwift: You should stop delivering this update immediately! It seems that ERG mode is broken and thus workouts wonât work.
How can I prevent an Update on PC?

hello everyone, this morning I updated the PC and ERG MODE no longer works with Zwift. I had to manage power training with Garmin 530. Could this be the solution? to force the installation of the Ant+ Driver? thank you

As of todayâs patch, the Trainer Difficulty slider appears to make zero change on my KickrBike.
And it no longer tilts on the inclines due to difficulty seemingly at 0%
Tried resetting all ANT+ sensors; but⌠no fix.
This also means ERG doesnât even work.
How can you push a patch for a workout program and ⌠you canât even do a workout on it?

I have a same problem too
Hi all! @Jonathan_Landry_JZQC , welcome to the Forums!
I want to make sure that your trainers or smart bikes have met these conditions:
- You are paired as Controllable over bluetooth or ANT+ FE-C
- Your gradient simulator is unlocked (the LED below the gearing indicator on the Kickr bike is illuminated)
ERG mode should not be affected by trainer difficulty setting, so this may be an issue related to Controllable connection or a specific trainer issue. If you are on PC or Mac, feel free to delete both prefs.xml and knowndevices.xml to restore Zwiftsâ connection to your trainer to the default settings. This should clear up any remaining issues if the above conditions are met.
