Zwift Release 1.48 & September Events

With us beginning a release/patch cadence of every two weeks, here is what you can expect in the upcoming release and what events are on the horizon. The release is expected to go live Wednesday, September 13th at approximately 15:00 UTC. This release will be a rolling release, meaning we will scale up the percentage of people with the release over a few days to minimize bugs or crashes. Below you will find the updates included in this release.

• Fixed an issue with Zwift Play that could occur when reconnecting the device.

• Kickr Bike: You must now press and hold the U-Turn button (i.e. the Right Minus button) before a U-Turn is initiated. No more accidental U-Turns!

• Fixed an issue that could occur when trying to access Climb Portal after switching worlds via joining or completing an event between France and Watopia.

• Fixed an issue which caused some Custom Workouts to not sync across multiple devices.

• Fixed an issue where activity progress (i.e. FIT file) would not include progress made after resuming an interrupted activity after a game crash.

• Fixed an issue where activity progress (i.e. FIT files) could become corrupted after quickly skipping Workout intervals, resulting in Zwift getting stuck on the Save screen and inability to upload affected FIT files to Garmin Connect.

• Zwift Play: Fixed an issue where Ride-On Bombs or braking may not work properly if the controllers lost connection to the game and then reconnected.

• Zwift Play: Fixed an issue where braking would still have haptic feedback (i.e. controller vibrations) when haptic feedback was disabled in settings.

• Zwift Play: Improvements to controller connection reliability.

• Zwift Play: Reduced the amount of time required to hold the Z-Button before giving a Ride-On Bomb.

• Zwift Play: Reduced the amount of time required to hold the D-Pad Down button before initiating a U-Turn.

• Zwift Hub: Fixed an issue which could cause some text to unexpectedly appear in the in-game HUD after closing the Settings screen.

• Elite Rizer: Fixed an issue which caused steering to not work.

• Climb Portal: Average power shown at the end of the climb now only includes watts generated while in the Climb Portal and not before entering the portal.

• Climb Portal: Fixed an issue where Emotes could not be heard by nearby users.

• Fixed an issue in the France Ven-Top route where previous route time was shown as blank in the in-game HUD.

• Improved elevation tracking in London and Richmond worlds.

iOS

• Fixed an issue that could cause crashes when navigating through game menus.

• General improvements to game memory usage.

PC

• Intel Arc A77M GPUs now have the Ultra graphics profile enabled.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when navigating through the Badges screen via keyboard or Zwift Play controllers.
