Love the Zwift update videos. Some nice additions and fixes coming! Like many, I'd love an improved garage w/item archiving and ability to save full kit custom profiles.
Shane, FYI, bearing in mind the Zwift subscription issue last year you may like to know Zwift have just informed all UK subscribers their subscription will increase from £12.99 to £17.99 pm or £129 to £179 annual from your next renewal. Substantial increase.
Actually, something I have noticed. When you drop a manual zwo file in for a workout, it used to load into Zwift as "ride" and ignore the filename you'd given it. Now it loads into the work out screen with the filename. Which is very handy; all I need to do is add the workout date to the filename on screen. I think this has changed in the last couple of updates; I know I was still manually updating names in March.
Regarding the HUD update, I like the look of it (from what I can see) but it looks like I lost two items that I really like. The level progress indicator and the route KM to completion field. Hopefully it’s there somewhere 😇
Nice, completed the Zwift Games 2024 Epic on April 30 as an intro into completing the April Century Challenge. Once 2024 was completed, I just rode my own rogue route. Almost ended on the Epic KOM at mile 90 but the bypass spared me.😅 I was able to stay on the bike the entire time but wondering why there is not a coffee break option available while free riding?Looking forward to the future improvements. As mentioned, a top bikes list or "Bikes I Own" Icon/button would by nice idea for the garage.
I came here looking for this comment! Hopefully TR will finally allow subscribers to push a TR plan into Zwift without having to rebuild in TrainingPeaks or a zwo editor.🤞
@@covboy70 over on the TR forum people are ecstatic over the possibility. I’m 80-85% certain that it will happen. I know that TR and Zwift met last year on the down low
Adding custom workouts to My List would be very very useful for me. Currently, I import my coaches workouts from FinalSurge and have to date them so I know which is next. Being able to add to a list in order would be great,
The avg power is interesting but somewhat useless if we can't have a "lap function" - perhaps for racing will work better because u hammering from the get go
One edge case bug that I wish they would fix is automatic full screen for Mac. One feature that I would add is game mode support for Apple Silicon Macs so that Zwifters on Apple Silicon machines can fully leverage the power of their hardware.
Since the braking slider update I have randomly had brakes activating on the Plays. Subsequently turned it off completely but was never a problem previously and happened even when I was no where near the Play's 🤷♂️. Buttons all good and not "sticky".
@@mikeytheengine Yeah, I bought the Zwift cog in anticipation of the firmware upgrade and really disappointed that Wahoo haven't released it yet. The virtual shifting promise is what is keeping me with Zwift, without it I'll be looking at switching subscription to try something different, maybe Rouvy.
Needs Lap power instead of just Avg power. Power the first 10 minutes or so is very low as you're warming up and contaminates your average power with a bunch of garbage. I want to know what my average power is after I'm all warmed up and Lap power does that great. Please add.
Saw there was an update when a bunch of routes popped up that I haven't done. Glad to see that there are other improvements down the pipeline and not just giving up new routes and that's it.
But they screwed up the home screen resolution :( After updating to v1.64 you can no longer change it, making the tiles so huge that you could view them from 428 meters away ;)
@@jamesmckenzie3532 It is not about the game screen only the home screen. Until v1.63 there was an option to change it yourself which had probably three or four levels. So everyone could, according to their own preferences, set the size of the tiles that was convenient for them.
@@Artur.Chmielewski I was speaking to the home screen. It does appear that it tracks the font size settings (at least on a Mac). It's frustrating that the ability to change this on a per app basis was taken away though.
Is there a new robopacer? I encountered one named Big Mig riding at over 6 W/kg on Tempus Fugit. Tried to latch onto him for my post-ride coffee break but got stuck with some slowpoke instead.
Hey Shane, any plans to review the new Trek radar, they are claiming it's range is longer than the Varia, interested to know if their claims stack up Cheers
Hold onto your wallet. And your seat. I'm going to unload on this tomorrow. Here's a few unlisted videos of my testing to date: Roadside and on-bike: ruclips.net/video/umcNcfJb-5I/видео.html Side-by-Side Tests with Bryton & Garmin Radars: ruclips.net/video/BkwWANxa95w/видео.html I've since done even more testing with two other CarBack units and did manage to see it detect at 240m. It took a LOT of work and $$$s of equipment to prove it works. And it never worked at 240m while on the bike. I'll cover this in my video tomorrow.
with the way these updates have been coming, it's becoming obvious that it's shaping up to be a Zwift vs Rouvy virtual world. of course one of these gets about 75% of the press coverage, but still, they're both *GREAT* platforms and look very much to be the last men standing...
Glad to see Watopia is getting some love again. Long overdue, if somewhat a drop in the ocean. Having the new climb connect to the Epic KOM is useful. Would like to see then also at least complete the northern route to match the southern route to give a nice big loop on the southern island. Space for another climb as well from the southern route. Have to wonder if the API also came out of the early talks with TrainerRoad. May see them being an early API partner. About time London got an expansion as well. Nice to see my list. Squinting to scroll through the interface after logging in was annoying. Now I can just queue them up. Autoload as an option would be good.
Somebody experiencing bluetooth/ANT connection issues since installing the latest update? Since the update, my tablet loses connection with my devices every ride.
Tried to schedule a workout. Could not find any of my custom workouts to add to my list. Do you know if there is a way to get custom workouts to show up?
They’ll be automatic on the ATV. If you want to manually check then head into the App Store app, go to installed apps, Zwift, and see if the icon is ‘open’ or ‘update’.
I’m concerned that the terrible old upcoming gradient is still present on that new screen… I want that big new display ALL THE TIME. The old graphic should be buried under the sea and never be seen again. Maybe make it an option, allowing people to choose large or small?
Update 1.64, the all screen scaling is terrible! I run it half screen with my browser on the other side of the screen. Text becomes microscopic. I have to expand to full screen to be able select ride etc and then switch back to half screen once in the ride. Annoying! In game hud is okay and is only slightly smaller but still readable.
Likely due to the way they’re synced/handled in the backend. I hope they’re included soon as it would make My List less useful for anyone using the new training sync/API from third parties.
But two years ago since new things were added to the drop shop.... Why not just get rid of drops by now, they're of zero use if you've ridden for just a few seasons....
I’d love to be able to turn off all the in game names and thumbs up randomly showing up on screen, it’s useless information that is very distracting. I’ve also been midpack during a race and an attack has gone off the front and I can’t see it because of bunch of names I don’t need to know. Also, sure would be nice if they’d get around to fixing race categories classifications.
you never know at some point they may actually do something us unimportant users actually want, such as new roads, the ability to sort out the garage and stop messing with levels.
Dear zwift im leaving you not because you’re a bad thing but because your greedy and greed will turn us off raising Your pay to 20 bucks for nothing is ridiculous period your just a greedy corporate entity welp it’s been fun I won’t be seeing you anymore bye.
Not something I'd expect to be in the top 100 things on their priority list. iOS is touchscreen, still works with the Companion app for alternate interaction, and they're likely to push the Play controllers over a keyboard these days.
@@gplama The fact how good touchscreens work when I am in full flood sweat mode is why I always ask for it. (Combined with the companion app being unreliable to the point of useless, even with a dedicated WiFi base station installed near the trainer). They have to switch their mindset to being useful for the enthusiasts who are still using it. We are not in lockdown any more, all the new customers are back showing off in the gym or drinking beers at the beach.
Watched this on the toilet, Shane. Thus proving your point.
Perfect 👌🏼🤣
Love the Zwift update videos. Some nice additions and fixes coming! Like many, I'd love an improved garage w/item archiving and ability to save full kit custom profiles.
That hud update is so welcome, the profile view is long overdue
HUD and elevation profile updates!!! Finally!! Hurray!!!!

Agree I for one am not interested in putting my hard earned money into highly paid pro athletes pockets
Let's hope the HUD is as customizable as Sauce
yes...i don't wann use sause😅😅😅
Nice update info! Watopia needs a Velodrome!
The HUD update is amazing

Loving that new HUD, just what I have been hoping for.
braking disabling and new hud
Can't wait to hear more about "the Grade!" The climbing portal is great fun. Going to tackle Fuji today!
Have fun! It looks epic!
Lots of good planning done on the toilet - classic. And true. Appreciate the info on the updates - cheers!
Thanks Shane - I think I'm looking forward to the UI refresh more than anything else.
My list v2 should be able to pull up a workout and then pair it to a route. So you can set that up on the toliet before going to zwift
I hope so, will make it much easier to do a new route and work out 🎉
I’m a simple guy. I just want to be able to delete bikes from my garage, I only use about 4
This! 👆 Or even just have 4 faves that are easily selectable (climber, aero, TT, Tron)
They should just stay at the top of the list for you based on frequency of use. The emoji list does it, it can't be that hard 😅
@@conorverbruggen5133 there's an emoji list!? I live a very sheltered life
I don't buy bikes/wheels just because of the clutter. Makes owning anything besides the best frames not just pointless but cumbersome
Should be a 3 or 4 favourite load out including kit!
Thanks for the my list demo, very useful.
I'd love to see custom workouts in My List, and perhaps a workout editor in the app
A decent profile in the HUD? Let's goooo :D
its been around for over a year, its called Sauce ;)
@@williambob111 I use sauce for racing! Never looked for a profile window though
would be really nice if you could select a climb portal ride for the week or month they are available and put them in My List

Great news about the updated HUD

Would be cool to allow also to decide upfront the route used for a workout .
I'd rather just them give us a HUD and route editor.
But, incremental improvements are still improvements.
Some great updates - thanks for the update about the update Shane... Would love to see the Coffee Icon to the left of the Map overview!
I have set my zwift account to summer break. Interesting to see how Zwift is change when i probably come back on October/November.
The avg power is interesting but somewhat useless if we can't have a "lap function" - perhaps for racing will work better because u hammering from the get go
Finally an understandable profile
Thanks
Thanks Norbs. Have a great weekend mate!

Great recap, thanks!!!
HUD update is going to be HUGE
The most notable part of this video may be that Lama does not have the PRL full badge!

Cheers Shane, great content as usual 👍
So it seems these new features are going to cost us 30% more?
I've been a Zwift addict so far, but it's time to start looking at other options.
Anything from Wahoo on Kickr V5 virtual shifting yet? Seems like it was promised ages ago.
Nothing yet.
I am waiting for this everyday. Wish there was a way to at least get a date.
@@mikeytheengine Yeah, I bought the Zwift cog in anticipation of the firmware upgrade and really disappointed that Wahoo haven't released it yet. The virtual shifting promise is what is keeping me with Zwift, without it I'll be looking at switching subscription to try something different, maybe Rouvy.
Me too . I want to use my new 12 speed on an 11 speed cassette . Once it updates I’ll sell the old bike !!!
Baby on board! 🤣🤣
Nice updates!
What I’m still waiting for: exact watts for workouts instead of rounding to the nearest 5W
Zwift just announced a price raise; i have a annual sub which went from 149 eur to 199 eur.
AHA Shane -> 70.3 Dev.! We see you on the next Ironman? :)
Hub update, is good to see this 1st time in years. :P
Some great updates headed our way. Hoping for new Apple TV 4k graphics support and wheel/frame/clothing sorting
I feel seen (watched this video on the toilet while testing the list feature)
🤣🤣🤣
Same! 😅🙋♂️

Braking off is good, I’ll be able to use my controllers again after the brakes turned always on after they let sweat in
Saw there was an update when a bunch of routes popped up that I haven't done. Glad to see that there are other improvements down the pipeline and not just giving up new routes and that's it.
I liked no HUD. Sad that it never caught on. -U10
Looks like the release on the companion app is only for Apple. Haven't had any changes on the andriod yet.
But they screwed up the home screen resolution :(
After updating to v1.64 you can no longer change it, making the tiles so huge that you could view them from 428 meters away ;)
Or the other way. For those of us with older eyes, making the on-screen print way to small to read while riding or just sitting on our trainers.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 It is not about the game screen only the home screen.
Until v1.63 there was an option to change it yourself which had probably three or four levels. So everyone could, according to their own preferences, set the size of the tiles that was convenient for them.

I don’t like the current title screen scale and I can’t change it now 😢
I was given early access/preview. I screamed loudly about it. Not in a good way. It's a little better with the release version. A little.
Is there a new robopacer? I encountered one named Big Mig riding at over 6 W/kg on Tempus Fugit. Tried to latch onto him for my post-ride coffee break but got stuck with some slowpoke instead.
Yep. Details here: zwiftinsider.com/pinarello-espada-challenge/

Hi Shane :9 thanks for the video, no news of when the Wahoo Kicr 5 will support virtual gearing on Zwift?
No word on this yet.
Is there any point in braking on Zwift? I know there are special game maps for the controllers but how is braking different vs. simply stop pedaling?
The problem is, the monthly fee is expensive again
When I Zwift on my phone, I find it frustrating I need to enter my log in every time . Why can’t Zwift keep me signed in ?
What is a testing climb?
Still no graphical improvements for recent AppleTV owners? I thought this was promised way back in the day.
Soon.....
@@gplama music to my eyes
Somebody experiencing bluetooth/ANT connection issues since installing the latest update? Since the update, my tablet loses connection with my devices every ride.
I just want to be able to simply push my trainer road workouts to Zwift. If I could I would subscribe to swift.
Baby on board. LOL
Tried to schedule a workout. Could not find any of my custom workouts to add to my list. Do you know if there is a way to get custom workouts to show up?
Only Zwift built-in workouts will show within My List at this point in time.
I use an Apple TV 4K 4th gen, how do start updates? Or do these simply update without needing selecting? Cheers

Is the my list only for iOS - on the latest update to android this morning and no sign of it
Rolling release... You'll probably see it soon.
When you've got multiple routes queued up can you complete each route in a single continuous ride?
No. You have to do each as separate rides dropping back to the home screen before starting each.
Why would they not make custom workouts available in My List? Ugh.
Likely due to the way they’re synced/handled in the backend. I hope they’re included soon as it would make My List less useful for anyone using the new training sync/API from third parties.
Is mt fuji available as climb portal?
Yep
But two years ago since new things were added to the drop shop.... Why not just get rid of drops by now, they're of zero use if you've ridden for just a few seasons....
How did you re-organize or prioritize the ride within My List? Not seeing how to do that from my iPhone. Thanks.
Tap and drag items up and down in the list.
Im sure its been asked before, but how can we get the swift cog and controller in Oz?
By getting someone to sneak it in for you. Or buying the whole Kickr CORE ONE bundle. Hopefully this will change soon.
Hopefully it is available locally soon. Fingers crossed!
Any news to Apple Watch HR support? 🙁
Nope
I had a dream last night riding Gravel Bikes with Shane around his playground 😮 But, he didn't like my Cannondale Slate much 😂😂😂
Are custom workouts disabled for mylist shortcuts? Couldnt find them.
Mentioned in the video. This will only work for Zwift workouts for now.
I’d love to be able to turn off all the in game names and thumbs up randomly showing up on screen, it’s useless information that is very distracting.

you haven't done sprinter's playground! OMG!
The average power is almost useless. They need a split button
With a lap button/key/feature it'll be useful.
So Zwift is picking off mywhoosh rather than the other way round, mywhoosh endurance climb vs my grade, let's see how they compare
I was about 45 k's into the"2024 Zwift Epic" route when the route progress tracker disappeared. 👎
Ouch!
@@gplama my response was a bit more "R" rated.
