Zwift Game v 1.89 [May 2025]

[Charlie_Dill (Charlie Dill (DIRT))]

Are you connecting devices via Companion App? When that happens to me I eventually figure out that I forgot to open Companion. As soon as I do the devices connect.

K3, Karoo 3or annoyingly just Karoo (again), seriously when?!?

[Local_TimePlease]

Volcano Flat today with Pacebot…mini map distance was all over the place.
At the Arch, downtown, it would show correctly but by the first underwater tunnel, it would freeze.
Then near the Volcano, it would show an incorrect distance until the end of the lap, upon which it reset and would do it all again.

Posted this in the fitness tracker thread but not sure if that one is being monitored for bug reports.

I did my first ride of the week outdoors and then when I finished my first ride of the week on Zwift I didn’t get the 500XP and I don’t think it added to my XP total at any other time. Comparing my end of ride screenshot from my last ride last week to where my XP is now I’m pretty confident I didn’t get the 500 streak bonus.

Not getting streak XP

I did an outdoor ride followed by an indoor Zwift this week, followed by further indoor and outdoor rides. I wasn’t awarded the 500xp bonus for continuing my streak (the bigger jump is 275xp from completing Hilltop Hustle in a workout) [xp] Also https://us-or-rly101.zwift.com/api/profiles/me isn’…

[B_Jimmy (James)]

Same for me, outdoor Monday, indoor Tuesday and no 500XP streak bonus. I emailed support asking and they credited me the missing XP (fwiw they replied within 50min of me sending the email).

Any update on the core body temp sensor integration?

The Android tablet graphic quality still terrible

[Jason_Ellis_Sassenac (Jason)]

Is it just me or is it since the the recent roll out there’s been companion connection issues to a live game?
Connection just drops, get off, close up, menu, reconnect app, get back on. Repeat few times.
Becoming tedious since it’s every ride so far.

I’ve had no problems with my Pixel 6

This is likely to be something at your end. Try rebooting both your router and your phone for a start.

Not mentioned in this update:
Multi point lights. This is actually a MASSIVE upgrade in the 3D engine, and I’m shocked it wasn’t mentioned, as this is a step some engines never make at all.
This was a very pleasant surprise to see this development, but seriously surprised it wasn’t mentioned. This alone for some games is an update in the making that takes years.

Note the lit ground and surrounding areas by lights, and new headlight and taillight lighting.
Thumbs also provide a blueish glowing effect on riders and ground.

Note that this isn’t vertex lighting.

[Paul_Southworth (Paul)]

It’s being rolled out server-side, not with the release. I’ve recently started seeing it on my Windows system. Quite nice IMO though was looking a bit strong in some areas. Check the headlight effect when you’re on the jungle roads, or bright sun on a big pack of light colored kit. Overall I’m happy with it.

Not seeing lighting effects [v1.87]

Hey all - The lighting effects you’re asking about will be turned on server-side in phases. This is to say it’s not automatically part of game version 1.87. We roll this out in phases and monitor issues that may / may not arise. We thank you for your continued patience.

[Jason_Ellis_Sassenac (Jason)]

Didn’t have an issue after the new up date yesterday. Maybe a glitch.

[Andrew_Nuse (Andrew)]

Anyone else experiencing non-starts with the app?

Twice now I’ve been stuck in the blue loading screen indefinitely until I force kill the app and retry.
I know I’m not the only one either. Leader for upcoming ride can’t get it to start either, and someone on my current ride also had loading issues.

Usually that blue loading screen is there and gone within 10-15 seconds if that.

On limited time and reloading worked last time, but.. nearing the 3 minute mark and no movement on the blue screen, I killed the task.

And if you ask me, that looks like something causing a loop.
