RELEASE NOTES FOR 1.34 - UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL RELEASE IS LIVE

  • Improved experience when riding in a pack with new pack dynamics.
  • Zwifters with banked XP will now see their rider score match their level progress graph position.
  • “Rider Score” is now shown as “Runner Score” for running.
  • “Darn! I forgot to swap off my TT bike before joining Coco” says no one, anymore! New prompt allows a quick swap from a TT bike to the Zwift road bike when joining a Pacer Group on a TT.
  • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause HoloReplays to fly while on the Alpe.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause the start time for Time Trial events to appear incorrectly.
  • Replaced the Time Trial HUD element with the standard race HUD element for all routes while in a Time Trial event.
  • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause duplicate race results to be saved when completing a race.
  • Enabled full route and segment recording for HoloReplays in Scotland.

Android/iOS

  • Screenshots taken from the action bar will now save as expected

Note for why we are rolling out the release slowly

We have been working on a number of back-end improvements that will open new possibilities for the next evolution of the Zwift game experience. 1.34.0 sees much of the code written over the past 9 months added to the public client for the first time. Due to the scale of this change, the game release will be staggered to minimise the risk of disruption. We will unveil more details on our future plans later in the year.

Additional Note:

This release contains BOTH a game release and a game launcher release. After the initial game release update, a Launcher Setup screen with pop up with steps for updating the game launcher. This is expected behavior but it is a different release process. Please let any Zwifters that reach out to you inquiring about this pop up know this is a rare additional update that needs to be made.
