Zwift Update Version 1.76 (135866) Released

Zwift version 1.76 begins its phased rollout today.

(This release may seem a bit light – just a route badge and some bug fixes – but it’s worth mentioning that there are additional in-game changes and important updates from trainer companies rolling out in the near term (some this week!) that we can’t discuss yet since they are under embargo. Watch this space for news as it comes available…)

“Richmond Loop Around” Opens

The Richmond Loop Around route was introduced for the first race of the Zwift World Series, and this update changes it from being event-only to being open/free-ridable.

The first time you ride the route you’ll earn the achievement badge, which comes with an 850XP bonus.

Spindown Calibration Fix

The previous update seemed to introduce a bug that affected spindown calibration for certain Zwifters. Today’s update includes this note from Zwift: “Fixed an issue that caused the spindown calibration within Zwift to fail.”

More Release Notes

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

• For Zwifters using virtual shifting with the sequential gearing scheme, the default starting gear was changed from gear 12 to gear 8 to provide an easier starting point.
• In Makuri Islands, support columns that were holding up a building above a portion of roadway were removed so Zwifters no longer collide with them. Don’t worry, they weren’t load bearing!
• Fixed an issue that could potentially cause the “FTP Change Detected” notification to appear when the new FTP matched the previous FTP.
• Fixed an issue that could potentially cause a slight delay when using virtual shifting.
