Hi all,
Recently getting back onto Zwift after injuries. I updated the software this week and have had nothing but problems since.
System:
PC - Windows 10 64-bit
Processor Intel(R) Core™ i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz|
Installed RAM|32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)|
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2
|Edition|Windows 10 Pro|
|Version|22H2|
WIRED ETHERNET - Internet connection is solid though Zwift seems to be having trouble.
Zwift
Game Version: 1.76.0(135866) rc/1.76.0
General issues are
- Very slow application load time - various “non-responsive” flashes -
- 100% GPU load at the Zwift home screen once it loads.
- Events and 24/7 Group rides etc all take 5-10 minutes to load / show up in the application.
- If I join an event - or group ride - most of the time the avatar is put on the road alone, N.Valid around etc, after a few minutes may or may not join the group.
- If I make it into a workout or event - the activity cannot be saved (endless Time outs etc) shows up in Z power but the .fit files in the activities folders hold no real info and are all 1kb in size. (I have manually uploaded inprogress .fit files in the past but this was not possible this time)
What have I done?
- Allowed everything through the Windows Firewall - disabled it completely. No change
- I have a VPN on my machine (Mullvad) - Zwift is always set to bypass this - though I uninstalled to test - no change.
- Complete uninstallation of Zwift, manually deleting all associated files as per guidelines on here. No change. Additionally I used “Revo Uninstaller” to search for anything that may have remained with the same result.
- Router rebooted
- DNS Cache cleared, flushed and reset
- Network Reset on PC
- Network adapters disabled / enabled /
- Changed DDNS routes of the Ethernet adapters
I installed Zwift on a second machine (an old Dell XPS 15 9560 with Windows 10) with the same internet ISP, though it is using Wi-Fi rather than Ethernet. This works perfectly and as expected. Game loads fast - everything ready to go in a minute or so.
I am starting to thing that something is causing an issue on the PC. Graphics card drivers ? Everything is up to date (which may be the issue…)
Is there any way to identify what might be causing all the issues on the PC. I have attached a log file if that is of any use.

EDIT UPDATE:
Thought of trying to run on the PC using WIFI and not Ethernet. This instantly improved loading time of Events, Getting into group rides and the activity saves without timeout.
