After short period of event Companion exits game mode. Restart does not help. Problems on Iphone and Android phones. Game mode returns ASAP after leaving event in Windows app, no need to restart it. Android 11, IphoneOS 16 phones with Companion, Windows 11 laptop wit Zwift App.

This action seems typical if your phone going on and off of your WiFi. You might try disabling WiFi assist, or turning off cellular service while using the Companion app, or moving your router closer to your Zwift area.

Not that case for Adroid. I use this setup for leading events 2 times a week, this is new problem. Why game mode returned directly after leaving event? This is Windows app problem, probably Zwift broadcast process fails.

I can’t speak to the Android issue but iOS 16 does not work well with Companion. As far as I know Zwift do not have a fix for it. If the device can run iOS 15 then I suggest downgrading it. Details on this thread.
