In the last couple of weeks, possibly since 1.80 but not certain, I’ve seen this sudden visual jumping scenario randomly but fairly often; maybe once every few minutes. It’s not related to any frame drop or CPU limit as far as I can see in the Zwiftalizer log. Seems maybe avoided in first person view but not 100% on that. I know of at least other person reporting seeing the same in all worlds.
Examples at 2:50, 6:00 and 9:02 in the YT video linked below.
On Win 10 PC, 3060Ti GPU and 13th Gen i7 CPU, 32M RAM.
Hi, @Sam_Crofts, welcome to Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.
I totally get how strange this situation might seem, especially since you weren’t switching between first-person and third-person views or anything like that, even with your great 3060Ti GPU!
In version 1.80, we added an option to turn the screen shake on or off. However, some members noticed that this option was set to Off by default. It seems that even though the setting appears as “Off,” screen shake remains active. Once you switch the setting to “On,” screen shake stays enabled, but if you toggle it back to Off, it will actually disable the screen shake feature/effect.
If the issue persists, try to make a clean fresh re-installation following the steps in this article below and keep us posted.
Thanks for your reply Francisco, but I don’t think this is the screen shake. I don’t mind the shake effect and have never tried to turn it off. Did you look at the video?! It’s not just ‘shake’ the whole visual swings around and jerks back to Center.
I noticed it this morning while riding with Maria on the Paris route. I was using third person view, best description is the camera stops moving for a moment then quickly moves forward quickly and bounces back and forth as if it’s on a bungee cord. Didn’t happen consistently tied to any place on route or group passing or being passed.
If your visual was only backwards and forwards then that is the known “rubber banding” issue that occurs as frame rates dip. This issue is visually different and swings sideways as well as back/forward or in/out.
I still have not seen this issue for the last few weeks when before it was very regular every few minutes previously.
Well I spoke too soon; this issue is back again tonight, maybe it came back with 1.83 as I updated just before the ride but either way the issue has returned for me………
This started again today; in London and after updating to 1.85. The good news is getting a video clip is now easier since the ‘none main screen’ bug is fixed so I have a short clip of one example but I can’t load it to the forum unfortunately.
