+1 for distance on the route progress bar.

I’d like to see the elevation profile for the route you’re riding also

+24hrs since posting this video and there have been more widespread reports of issues with this release. Below is a summary list of what I've seen reported. Note: It's not a definitive list of issues that you'll encounter... Some of these seem setup specific. ● Lots of issues reported with treadmill and other sensor pairing in run mode. ● Smart Trainer (and bike) resistance issues (Kickr/KickrBIKE/NEO/Suito/WattBike). ● Reports of power meter + smart trainer pairing combination failing again (Similar issue as July 2021). ● Makuri Island route progress bar disappearing midway though the route. ● ‘Join Meetup' notification issues (appearing and disappearing). *On the official Zwift forums, the Zwift staff account "Shuji" recommended NOT to install this update if you use Zwift Run. "For runners that have Zwift installed on iOS / Apple TV / Android devices: it might be advisable to hold off on updating to v1.16.0 in the short term."* Not updating isn't possible if you're on a system that auto updates! This month has to be a turning point for how they handle these updates. Without stability of the core product (sensors!) everything on the platform fails. Everything. It's not ideal that these issues are occurring over a weekend and I can only assume there WILL be an out-of-band patch released early next week (if not sooner) to address the above issues. I'll keep my ear to the ground and possibly do an 'update to the update' video again this month.....

All good stuff but the two main things I want to see is: 1)Ability to change route without having to exit the game and re-enter. 2) Ability to design your own route from any of the Zwift roads

I wish it would automatically take a picture in game when the route completed message pops up. I’m always scrambling to do that so I can post that to Strava along with my ride.

Shane, Van Rysel is Decathlon in-house brand which replaced B'Twin which was Decathlon originally. So it is just rebranding with almost same output.

Just want to pass on my thanks Shane - signed up to Zwift, bought an Elite Rampa and have started my Zwift journey through lockdown here in Melb based on your videos - so appreciative for you, my mental health has been helped so much through riding - thanks for your work and encouragement :)

Great summary, Shane! For those who are still looking for easy distance experience points like me, once you finish Valley to Mountaintop it is downhill almost all the way to 10km. Keep going down the Forward KOM, take the turns toward the Fishing Village, and then the turn for Village Onsen. I turned towards the Gardens there (avoiding the climb through the center of town), and 10km put me halfway through the gardens at a lovely stopping point. Makes a nice cooldown after the route up.

Van|Reisel. The popular Decathlon bike

Totally agree with you Llama re: progress bar suggested changes … I updated the app but waited for the explanation from you and you delivered… what a legend

Van Rysel = the in-house brand of European sports superstore chain Decathlon

Totally agree Shane. I was hoping to see the progress bar during my workout this morning, disappointed it wasn't there. No reason it couldn't be.

Solid update. Agree that the Progress Bar needs a bit of work

Hello normal voice 😊👍🏻 thanks for the update briefs Shane.

And still no support for the direction buttons on the new Apple TV remote. Annoying. It would make navigating so much easier.

I wish they’d ‘borrow’ from the Sufferfest, their progress bar is infinitely better. Really clear on what’s coming up and plots against your FTP.

the famous disc and rim brake combo are back. found it when using the roval alpinist wheelset and tarmac pro

I think showing route completion bar is a good start but I'd say they could do slightly better to show the elevation, distance to climb, length of climb, etc... these would be very useful during races or free riding. The map showed on the top RHS is not very useful and they could turn this into something more useful

Would love the distance for route progress bar. Love that as part of group events/rides. Also I’m pretty sure you can still get routes if you u turn but turn back. Accidentally did this on my mega pretzel ride and still got badge so would be nice to see route bar come back if you then go back onto course.

Nice explanation, a bit dissapointed there is no new routes for the world championship cycling in Belgium.

I ended up under a map yesterday with just a helmet showing on the road like a sharks fin.

Great video, when will Zwift allow you to customise your route? for example why cant you tick every box in the Japan world and allow you complete the whole world in one go

@gplama, even simple garmin instinct tactical supports HR broadcast to zwift. As usual a great video Thanks Rahul🇮🇳

Thanks for the Update Shane. I must admit I am scared like no tomorrow for the dynamics update. Since you have seen it- did you have the chance to test it and what it's doing for races?

They should give you a window of time to get back on route before your route is canceled. like a 10 second countdown or something.

What would be really nice to see from Zwift is some proper upgrades for the mountain bikes they offer. Always plenty of road upgrades, but not even a sniff of a decent wheel upgrade. Cannot be too hard to add at some point?

I can confirm that smart treadmill support is broken. I purchased a (recommended by Zwift) Sole F85 specifically to use with Zwift in lockdown. It arrived yesterday, aaaaand... treadmills not appearing as discoverable devices. Thanks Shane for all your videos, good luck with the regional Vic lockdown.

Apple TV not receiving gradient unless you unplug and plug back in. Then it only works for first ride. Join an event or start a new ride and it's gone again. Gen 4 1080p apple TV and Neo 2T.

Van Ryssel is a house brand from the EU sports store, Decathlon

It'd be nice to see what badges I haven't completed from the companion app without having to go open the program or use some other site.

Thank you Shane, for the professional update; as usual! What we really miss, is a possibility to SET UP GRADIENT (instead of WATT) for customized training; what do you think? Will be it one day created???

There are also a couple of new event only routes too.

Strange that I started a ride following a route and had the progress bar. I then realized I wasn't going to finish the route in time so did some manual turns. The progress bar remained saying the original route despite me now just free riding and taking manual turns.

also bike selection should tell u how long your ridden each bike and distance travelled on a bike ...in battlefield games it tells u how long your used each weapon,shots fired, accuracy,shots hit etc..only small things but it all ads to the experience

like to see ghost riders for completed routes..example..choose route then select your completed rides (if any).then as u ride on routes it follows your u follow it,they do this a lot in car racing games,somes times i can have 5 ghost cars on track at same time

What broke this week: Zwift on MacBook Air (2020). But, it’s likely due to macOS 12 beta. 🤷🏽‍♂️ MacBook Pro (2013) running macOS 11 is fine running Zwift. 🚴🏼

How about fixing the apple tv 4k 2021 remote? It just drives me nuts to try to navigate around the Zwift interface on the Apple TV. I mean how hard can this be to fix? Try navigating and choosing a training ride. It is always a fun experience.

Thanks for this. This morning I noticed the route progress bar colour progressed from light blue to dark. couldn't see why. Any info please.

I wonder about the logic behind such short routes, esp when just point to point. I got that the volcano loop was intended as a crit course (?) but these two new routes, Queens Highway and similar just leave me cold

Hooray a progrès bar whooo

I wish we could find some more epic climbs soon! Passo Stelvio or something like that.

G'day Shane, I'd love to see in the Zwift bike shop the option to sell back bikes I no longer want. Even if it was for something like half the original price, it still would be worth it. (similar to car racing simulators that provide this option). Now that I'm at a higher Zwift level and have purchased faster bikes, I have a collection of bikes gathering digital dust!

If they can add a progress bar for distance why can't they add one for elevation too?

Been having terrible time with my ATV connecting Zwift, ERG mode keeps on disengaging in workouts and in free ride no elevation and power seems to be half of what I put in? ive given Zwift a miss for a couple of days in frustration hoping for an update and went outside instead.. OMG we can cycle outside too 🤣

What about average completion time working on your own zwift stats

What about a KOM upcoming notification? Hmmm

If only Zwift would stop freezing on my laptop. Never had one full ride. No problems with Garmin trainer. Will try out some other training platforms

this is starting to remind me of world of warcraft lol except so far i havent seen them take the servers down for full days

I had the route progress bar for sone time, but now it seems to be gone

I’m confused why they would hide the route name on a meetup or group ride that is a Zwift route. Seems odd to hide it.

I am waiting for Zwift to introduce possibility do "laps" just like on a gps device...

Is it wrong to think that if Zwiftinsider reports a huge patch for Zwift, I think 'Not going to read it, GPLama is probably going to post about this real soon'? Today I was correct :)

Spent several hours trying to figure out why my treadmill only connects as a power source under "Ride" and cannot even be seen under the "Run" pairing section. Turns out the latest Zwift update broke this on the iOS and Apple Tv ... UGH!

After update on my Apple TV 4K I didn't have a auto resistance on my Neo2. Same resistance uphill, on the flat and downhill (trainer difficulty was 100%)

I really hope that pack dynamics is sorted out… it’s been pretty crap

If you’re using Zwift on iPad, don’t update yet. It’s very buggy on my install. Erg not working. Very hard to pair with the Kickr. Maybe wait a while…

I don't understand why the "Drops" counter has to take prime spot on the screen. Surely for a number that changes so quickly it's irrelevant to place in eyeline? Zwift UI design team make some really amateur choices imo...

Shane, your budget vids are a few years old. What would be your pick for a budget trainer? Probably need to buy new due to lockdown 5km zone.

Hello Shane, I have non smart trainer any idea what gear settings would give me 5% 10% climb feel?

Solid video as always, Lama! Keep up the great content. Is anyone else experiencing random device dropouts since this update? I've never had an issue with Zwift dropping any wireless connections before. After this update, my trainer (Tacx Neo 2)(Bluetooth) and cadence sensor(Giant RideSense)(Ant+) kept disconnecting for roughly 20 seconds and then reconnecting. This would happen every 5 to 10 minutes. My Garmin Ant+ HRM did not show any issues. Where do I report these issues and/or how do I fix them?

Could you add level requirements for the new equipment?

They need to fix the meet ups. Just did two. One meetup finished, before the route was completed (the meetup was on distance), the second has us finish the route before the meetup ended. Where is the logic in that?

I love the route progress bar. One disappointment, unlike in events and races where there is a progress bar AND THE NUMBER OF KILOMETERS TO COMPLETION (sorry for yelling), the new route progress bar does NOT include the number of kilometres left to complete the route. This forces the user to guesstimate how many km are left. On long routes, where the bar moves very little for larger distances, the estimation of km left can be pretty far off. I wonder why this “distance remaining” metric was left out for routes even though the coding is already there as seen in races and events? It would be REALLY NICE to include distance left to complete a route!

what about gravel bikes with gravel only routes????

i agree with you but honestly they need to add incentives for people to keep riding past lvl 50

Zwift is not showing all available routes the last couple weeks in any of the worlds.

I appreciate the 'what broke this month' as it means i dont have to yell as loud at my zwift. others are also suffering the same stupidity of an update breaking a working game.... 🤦‍♂️

I know you don’t run Shane, but this time Zwift messed up Bluetooth connectivity for runners. The two most recent updates have been among the worse ever with both requiring emergency patches. What’s the name of the new Product Development Manager again, because he must be quickly approaching his half-life. Disappointing is putting it mildly.

Van Rysel is under Decathlon. Value for money bike IRL

Thumbs and subs

Average watts please Zwift!!!!

"ROOT", my good Sir. Not "Rowt".

New S5 less aero.. me dont like…

Heart rate is a bit fast given watts/ kg... need to train more?
