    Zwift Update Version 1.66 (129838) Released

    Zwift version 1.66 begins its phased rollout today. This is another light update, but watch for news next week on Watopia’s “The Grade” expansion releasing mid-June!

    Ghost Powerup Changes

    The cloaking (or “ghost” or “invisibility”) powerup makes you invisible to other riders for 15 seconds. It’s event-only, so you only see it in races where organizers have requested it to be enabled.

    Several months back, Zwifters noted that Zwift had added a slight shadow beneath riders, and that shadow was visible even when the rider and their “real” shadow were hidden while using a ghost powerup. This slight shadow became affectionately known as “The Smudge”, and eagle-eyed Zwifters began using it to track ghosted riders:

    The Smudge of a ghosted rider…

    Additionally, it’s long been known that if you’re cheeky enough to wear Fire Socks in a race, the fire trail is visible even if your rider is hidden thanks to a ghost powerup. Back to the Future vibes, for sure!

    Today’s update makes two changes to the ghost powerup. First, if you’re wearing Fire Socks, the fire trail is hidden while the powerup is active. Secondly, The Smudge is also hidden.

    These two changes make it so riders using the powerup are indeed invisible.

    More Release Notes

    Zwift provided notes on additional tweaks and bug fixes in this update:

    • Fixed an issue that could cause the “Weekly Goal Met!” banner image to be blank.
    • Fixed an issue where the route progress bar could disappear on the Zwift Games Epic 2024 route.
    • Corrected the cadence target in one of the Spaded Sweetie workout blocks.
    • TrainingPeaks workouts now include the next seven days of workouts, which are available in the TrainingPeaks custom workouts folder.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause some BH Fitness treadmills to not send speed data.
    • Apple TV, iOS: Fixed an issue where some Apple TV or iOS users may have to re-enter their login credentials after a Zwift game update.
