Zwift is crashing galore

I went back to 22.2.1 and it crashed straight away again. Left that driver in place, then clicked on standard graphics profile in Radeon settings and seems to be behaving itself so far (last night and this afternoon). Havnt gone any deeper into which aspect it seemed not to like. Zwift also had an update when I booted up today.

Hi @Crat_Thorax

I heard back from the team and there was an issue recently discovered having to do with Events crashing that had PowerUps disabled. This has been discussed in more detail here.

From what I’ve been told, the high CPU usage/low frame rate issue is technically a separate matter, but might also be related to the app crash issue. We’ll see how it goes once the app crash issue is fixed.

Well so much for that, it’s back to crashing. It’s incredibly irritating, not just removal from a ride and disruption of training, but even the plethora of corrupted fit files I’m left with and have to decide if each one is worth the effort of running a series of repair tools to then import them into my training records.

It does however still seem mostly an issue when running Zwift in windowed rather than fullscreen mode (I like it that way when watching a movie).

post 1.23.2 update I’m still getting chronic hangs (4 out of 5 rides attempted). Also run in windowed mode (on AMD gpu with latest driver).

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right thread, but since last week, I’ve have my connection drop between the Zwift Companion app (which I made sure was updated) and the Zwift App. I use ZC to connect to Zwift App. I have been using Zwift/Kickr Core since Dec 12th and have had one or two occasional drops. This week sets a new record.

Smart Trainer: Kickr Core
Zwift app is running on MacBook Air with Big Sur OS v11.6 (apparently I need to update this which I am doing know_
Zwift App automatically updated INCLUDING today before I rode
Zwift companion app is running on my iphone. I made sure it was updated after crash 1 and crash 2. There are no updates pending
ZC and Macbook are on teh same WiFi. Nothing is different about my setup or bike/trainer location that would explain a change (i.e. I didn’t move my bike further from WiFi)

What happens when the connection drops: the blue box w/RPM, wattage shows me the connection has dropped. This has happened on events (a TdWatopia event) and free rides. Today it dropped after 25 minutes of riding, came, back briefly, dropped again. All three times over the past week, the wattage and RPMs on my smart trainer were wonky after I tried to ride again. I tried to do a spin down calibration after each time, and it could not find my device ‘FAILED’. I did two spin down calibrations after the prior to times. I gave up today. But each time I initially got the FAILED error.

Is there anything from the logs that I could look at that might explain what is failing or what is happening? I am wondering if it is a KICKR Core issue, but i can’t call Wahoo on a weekend. Heres a log snippet from when connection dropped. I appreciate any input/thoughts.

Hi @Andrew_Crabtree6697 and @Jamie_Grant

If you have an AMD GPU with the latest drivers, it’s possible that you’ve been impacted by the issue discussed here.

Here’s the fix to the Webview2 issue… I get this on an Intel Iris 655 with Zwift installed on either the Admin or user account on Win10Pro

  1. Go to Apps and Features or whatever it’s called now. Find EdgeWebview2 Runtime → Modify → Password maybe → Repair
  2. File Explorer → Downloads → grab everything in the Zwift folder (select all → Copy)
  3. File Explorer → find Zwift in C:\Program File (x86) or whatever → paste the new files right over the top of it. Replace anything that is a duplicate.
  4. Run ZwiftLauncer.exe (not the ZwiftApp.exe).

Should run fine now.

After some crash free weeks Zwift is now crashing constantly again, mostly when entering the garage.
AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-22.3.1-Win10-Win11-March17

Driver ran fine two weeks ago, so I’m pretty sure the problem came with 1.24.0. And I am getting the feeling, that nobody at Zwift does any testing at all with Windows machines.

Das Programm ZwiftApp.exe Version 0.0.0.0 hat die Interaktion mit Windows beendet und wurde geschlossen. Überprüfen Sie den Problemverlauf in der Systemsteuerung “Sicherheit und Wartung”, um nach weiteren Informationen zum Problem zu suchen.

Join the club. :confused:

Yeah im using Zwift on my Pixel 6 phone again, so no companion app but at least the game runs stable.

edit: found this thread here https://forums.zwift.com/t/instant-freeze-crash-on-tempus-fugit-pc/583380

I thought the crashes on my system where when accessing the garage but when it happened, I had Tempus Fugit selected, so tahts where the near-instant-crash happens. Took another route and had no crash so far when entering the garage.

Sadly I had a Zwift launcher issues as the launcher I used was badly outdated. I have done the whole backup and reinstallation as per Zwift Support. Sadly I still get the white screen launcher which just closes, I restarted my PC, hoping that would solve the issue. Zwift started the updating screen but crashed soon afterwards. Please help
