Zwift on Updating Loop

I’m trying to run Zwift for the first time on a 64-bit Windows 8 laptop, but every time I run the program, it seems to get stuck on a downloading/updating loop and doesn’t let me get past that.

Can you guys help?

When did you install it…just recently, or a while back?   If you installed it a while back and it’s now in an update loop, grab the latest installer from our website and it should fix the updating-in-a-loop issue.

Hi Jon, I installed it for the first time today from the ‘Free Trial’ button on the Zwift website.

I’ve checked Programs and Features and it is version… 1.0.16.

Hi Corinne,

Send in a support ticket and include your launcher_log.txt file (found in Documents\Zwift\Logs) if you can.

Thanks!

Done. Thank you.

I’m encountering the same issue (same version, same process, same OS). Were you able to get it resolved, Corinne?

Same thing here. Installed it last week, it wouldn’t start but running Windows update fixed that and everything looked ok. Was going to try it out for real today but got stuck in an update loop. Windows 8.1 x64.

I know it’s a beta and all but come on… 

 

Hi guys, please follow the same steps (i.e. submitting a support ticket and including your launcher_log file).

For the record, Corinne installed Zwift accidentally in the wrong directory.

I solved the issue by uninstalling Zwift and reinstalling it. It worked after that. I had originally installed it in my 64bit program files, when I reinstalled, I installed it to the 32bit program files.

Same here (free install for trial period).  Will submit a support ticket and launcher log file in the next couple of days.  Thanks!

same issue here.  Kept all settings on default, still not working.

Btw, I’m on Windows 10.  I’ve logged a ticket.

Just to add, I’ve just tried this on a Windows 8 laptop and to rule out grou policy, I logged into my Win10 Surface with my LiveID and same issue.

A touch annoyed at all the bandwidth I’ve blown at downloading the updates and then it just hangs.

What is more concerning is that I have found this kind of issue raised as far back as Oct last year, but seems to still be an issue.

Come on gents!
