Any idea when IPad Pro’s will be getting a better graphics or frame rate? :+1:t2:

Tengo el elevador de pendientes elite rizer
El problema es que si simula las pendientes pero el avatar al girar el manillar a derecha o izquierda no se mueve no reacciona
Gracias

Zwift killed the fun for my old reliable mac from 2016 that always worked fine and was just used for one reason which was the indoor riding now it doesn’t go throughout the intro screen.
Thanks for nothing Zwift

So you’re running a 9 year old computer, essentially at EOL and you want to blame Zwift? Mate…this is nothing about Zwift and more about running “ancient” tech in a quickly advancing world. With that said I get it and have run into EOL issues with Apple devices and various software over the last decade or two and it sucks when you’ve reach the end and either have to upgrade to the modern world or find pathways to make it work, if possible.

From Google ai results “MacBook laptops typically have an average lifespan of 3.5 to 8 years. Software support, including new macOS versions, generally lasts around 5-7 years, followed by security updates for an additional 2-3 years.”

I’d start by doing a clean re-install and reset the launcher. If that doesn’t help, contact support.

Hi everyone. Please update at your earliest convenience.

Hi @Lucas_Vingilis_24H4P welcome to Zwift forums.

Shuji at Zwift HQ here. As Paul suggested - try the instructions for a clean re-install of Zwift app. That’s a good first step.

We’re looking into your game logs to see if anything specific about your MacBook looks problematic. You may want to verify which specification of the MacBookPro12,1 yours is.

It appears you might have 8 GB of RAM installed on the laptop? That’s the bare mininum we support. The good thing about older laptops is that they used to be simple to swap memory modules and upgrade to 16 GB fairly easily. New laptops often come with soldered-in memory and it’s not possilbe to upgrade. If it is - it would extend the useful lifetime of that laptop.

If it is in fact a MacBookPro12,1 (Early 2015 model) it has soldered memory. :frowning:

Another thing to look at is what version of MacOS are they on? Some folks can’t upgrade past a specific version, but the software they want to run needs newer. Don’t know Zwift’s minimums.

Had the same issue, deleted zwift and reinstalled it again, works perfect again

When will Karoo2 integration take place?

You might like OCLP - the open core legacy patcher at https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher - I use it to get modern macos on my older hardware. If you were blocked because your macos was too old that could help. Cheers.

On a Mac, The RideOn audio notification plays even when the game settings > Audio & Video > Game Sound Volume is set all the way off.

Note, I do have 3D World Volume set to max.

I noticed this bug in the previous update.

It is quite annoying because if I want to feel like I’m not in a Casino, I have to mute the Mac itself. This, in turn, prevents me from playing music from my Mac.

I’m on the new version of game on Apple TV. But today for whatever reason I couldn’t connect my devices to the Zwift companion app. Bluetooth logo just kept spinning

The MacBookPro12,1 (Early 2015) will run Monterey without resorting to OCLP. This is fine for Zwift which is supported on versions as old as Mojave. That laptop should be OK for Zwift.

As others have said, rather than blame zwift, I would certainly try to determine what is going on with YOUR system. While not my normal/everyday machine to run zwift, I WILL run it on my much older 2012 MacBook Pro, and it runs decently fine on this machine….
