    How to ride any Zwift course at any time using the <world> tag hack

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange
    March 24, 2016
    104

    UPDATE (April 17, 2020): with Meetups now allowing Zwifters to schedule events on all open worlds, world hacking via a Meetup may be your simplest option. Especially if you’re on AppleTV, Android, or iOS! See this post for details.


    When selecting a route to run or ride, Zwifters must choose between Watopia and two guest worlds which rotate according to the monthly course schedule set by Zwift HQ. 

    If you want to ride on a guest map that isn’t featured for the day, here’s an easy hack that lets you ride any course at any time.

    You have a prefs.xml file in your Zwift user directory (which is in your Documents/Zwift directory on PC/Mac). Before starting up Zwift, open this file in a text editor like Wordpad and simply add one of the following tags to force Zwift to place you in Watopia, Richmond, London, or Innsbruck.

    To ride Watopia, add: <WORLD>1</WORLD>
    To ride Richmond, add: <WORLD>2</WORLD>
    To ride London, add:<WORLD>3</WORLD>
    To ride New York, add:<WORLD>4</WORLD>
    To ride Innsbruck, add: <WORLD>5</WORLD>
    To ride Yorkshire, add: <WORLD>7</WORLD>
    To ride Makuri Islands, add <WORLD>9</WORLD>
    To ride France, add: <WORLD>10</WORLD>
    To ride Paris, add: <WORLD>11</WORLD>

    This text should go just after the opening <ZWIFT> tag near the top of the file. (If you place it inside of a section like “<DEVICES>” then it will not work.)

    Using Zwift iOS? Here’s how to accomplish this same hack on your iDevice.

    Important: Do not insert bogus values into your preferences file! Invalid values will just make Zwift behave unpredictably or even crash. Follow the instructions above carefully and you’ll be safe.

    Sample

    Here is a sample prefs.xml file which forces Zwift to always allow Richmond access (added text is in red):

    <ZWIFT>
      <WORLD>2</WORLD>
      <DEVICES>
         <LASTCADENCEDEVICE>720996</LASTCADENCEDEVICE>
         <LASTPOWERDEVICE>720996</LASTPOWERDEVICE>
      </DEVICES>
      <CONFIG>
         <RICHMOND_BRANCH_PREFERENCE>0</RICHMOND_BRANCH_PREFERENCE>
         <BRANCH_PREFERENCE>4</BRANCH_PREFERENCE>
      </CONFIG>
      <WORKOUTS>
         <USE_ERG>1</USE_ERG>
      </WORKOUTS>
    </ZWIFT>

      Bologna is 7, Crit City is 8. But you can’t world hack into either of them.

      Forget this hack. Create a meet-up using the Companion App. You can choose any world at anytime. The only downside is that you have to invite at least one person.

      You should edit the XML file BEFORE you start up Zwift. Zwift checks the XML when it starts up, and re-saves it when it exits. So any changes made while Zwift is running will be overwritten.

      Christoph, in the event you haven’t resolved this, it MAY be because Zwift is still running in the background even though you’ve closed the Zwift window. If you click the upward-pointing arrow (“Show hidden icons”), and the Zwift icon is visible, right click on it and click “Exit”. Then, edit your “prefs.xml” file to identify the world you want to ride, and fire Zwift up again. Hopefully, you’ll see your world of choice on the first world tab.

      I used this exploit to try Yorkshire a couple weeks ago, and on the subsequent ride I noticed that all of the “drops” I earned on that ride had been erased. I’m not sure if this happens for anyone else or if it also applies to the XP/levels. Has anyone else noticed this?

      Hi! Re: Apple TV world hack solution. I stumbled on this article that describes how to “jailbreak” and Apple TV to gain access to the ATV root file structure using firecore software 👇🏼
      https://smallbusiness.chron.com/root-access-apple-tv-33802.html

      it does not go into full detail on what happens after the “jailbreak”, or if this has a similar .xlm file available in the user log as in the MacOS.

      Just want to see if you think this is something worth doing ?

      As long as the tag is there, it will force you to that world each time you start Zwift.

      First, do I also modify the _BRANCH_PREFERENCES tag to match my chosen world? Second, can I use this to get into the new France and Paris worlds? Last, is France 9 and Paris 10?

      Thanks in advance,

      No. Just do what’s above.

      You can’t world hack into France or Paris at this time. But they’re 10 and 11.

      When you load Zwift, the MapSchedule_prev.xml is overwritten by Zwift. So if you modify it, Zwift will change it back. I’ve set it up as read only (Mac OS) but still, didn’t work. Would be interesting to know how those users have worked around that …

      Got it! I’ve done the same thing, changed the Mapschedule to read only. When you start Zwift, the file can’t be changed, so Zwift generates a new file simular to “Mapschedule”. I’ve done the same thing again, and tadaaa, I can choose France and Paris 😁 I hope this information is fine to share… 😅

      When I change the new map file (Mapschedule_V2.xml), Zwift doesn’t start (on OSX). What name have you used for the map? “FRANCE”? “PARIS”? Something else?

      Can you explain in more detail how you did it ? I have updated prefs.xml with <WORLD>10</WORLD. Then set MapScehdule_prev.xml as read only. When I start Zwift I don’t see any new worlds. I now have a MapSchedule_v2.xml file in Zwift folder. Do I need to do something with this ?

      I changed in the first MapSchedule file “LONDON” to “PARIS” in the row with the actual date. Save and read only. Then start Zwift. Zwift will create a new file called “MapSchedule_v2”. So close Zwift and do the same change in the new file. Don’t forget to make it read only too. If you start Zwift now again it should work 🙂

      I can’t believe how easy this works on PC. I spent two hours getting it to work in offline mode and while it was nice to ride, it’s not good. This method took a minute and works so much better. Only need to change the current map to PARIS in the two mapschedule files and save and make read only and voila, 30 people riding with me in France. Thanks for the tip!

      You need to edit both files. If on MsWindows, make them read only and start Zwift. If you’re on a Mac, disconnect from Internet and start Zwift (click ok on the warning). When the login appears plug back Internet. Et voila!

      I managed to do this on a mac too, but it took some more fiddling. It will indeed crash if both files (_prev and _v2) are not writable. But there is a race-condition, so you can leave the _v2 file writable and then run a simple script while starting that constantly overwrites _v2 with the “hacked” _prev version of the file. May take a couple of tries, it’s a tight window. To avoid spilling system resources you can stop the script once Zwift is running with France active.

      Thanks I guess. Or I was just so frustrated that I couldn’t ride it while the weather here warranted an indoor ride. 😉 Anyway, to try it, just do the hack as described on MapSchedule_prev.xml then run something like this on a terminal in the background: # while true; do cp MapSchedule_prev.xml MapSchedule_v2.xml; done And try to run Zwift a couple of times, as said it still needs to catch the small gap between when Zwift replaces the v2 file and it gets read, so it may not on work on try 1. You’ll see it it worked quick enough… Read more »

      Just found an even easier way to do this on mac: Just edit the MapSchedule_prev.xml file -> disable the network connection of your mac -> Start Zwift (Zwift will ask if you want to continue to start anyway, click yes) and wait for the login screen -> reenable internet -> profit.

      I will give it a try, thank you! I won’t be able to ride though, I’m using an Apple TV for that. But curious to see how it looks.

      I get error Z101 on startup as Zwift always checks to download the latest version and can’t without an internet connection.

      Windows or Mac? Windows => files in read only. Mac => disconnect internet, start Zwift, reconnect Internet at Login page. Other devices, don’t know.

      My 2 cents.. we are about to see the end of the “world hack” because of all of these keyboard warriors who desperately need to ride a new map in advance. We’ll be stuck to the scheduled maps because of this, you’ll see..

      Or Zwift will consider changing the way it works. They’ve done it once, we went from one world to two (on top of Watopia).

      When I rode Ven-Top earlier there were 12 of us in all of France. I can’t see Zwift worrying about that too much, personally 😀

      They might get more upset if you crash the Pro races. But, surely, they would have additional protections for those, right?

      You can’t “crash” a race. Try it for yourself – enter a few Zwift races and you’ll see no-one is visible except the riders entered. You don’t see anyone going the other way, even if racing in a world where there are thousands of people free riding that world.
      Or just watch today’s Tour de France stage from Watopia while you ride the same route…

      Managed to get Ven-Top access on MacBook. No need to edit prefs file with world tag. Just edit mapschedule_prev by changing current schedule’s location to “PARIS” (I changed “NEWYORK” to “PARIS” as that’s what’s currently in the schedule. I locked the file to be ‘read only’. I then ran Zwift first time, let it create mapschedule_v2, then edited the new version as before and also locked that file. Then ran Zwift again, turning off internet connectivity after the first dialogue box and before selecting ‘let’s go’, when it asks you to login, I turn internet connectivity back on, and it… Read more »

      just edit the MapSchedule_prev.xml, disconnect internet, start Zwift, click ok on launch anyway, when login screen appears – duplicate the MapSchedule_prev.xml and rename it MapSchedule_v2.xml, reconnect internet, sign in, ride on

      Probably 10 and 11. But per comments above it doesn’t seem to load the worlds. Use the ‘MapSchedule’ hack to load the French routes (scroll up for details).

      France is 10, Paris is 11. But the world hack does not currently work for these maps. It probably will once they’re on the monthly schedule, starting in August.

      One clarification is that the world tag hack replaces the first tab (watopia) out of the three available in zwift. So if you have another world hacked in you either need to delete the tag or change it to watopia to ride watopia routes

      Is there a way to make it so all of the worlds are always available, or do you have to change the 1 line every time you want a different world?

      You have to change all the time. Best is probably to set a meet-up using the companion app.

      Surprised this editing tool wasn’t mentioned in the comments yet…

      ZwiftHacks has a tool for this function on MacOS and Windows. Instead of manually editing the file, use the tool to do it for you. It’s called ZwiftPref. Get it at https://zwifthacks.com/zwiftpref/.

      Latest article for this tool is at https://zwifthacks.com/world-hack-into-france-and-paris/

      There’s another tool called zwift-preferences that might be better for Windows users.

      If one does a meetup to do an off schedule world route is there any way to make the”finding riders” banner go away. It stayed there for full 2 hour ride. Was annoying.

      The simplest way to ride solo is to create a meetup with a friend who you know will not be able to join you. I like to set this up just a few minutes before my ride. Don’t forget to click the button to not see any other riders. Now you can just enjoy a scenic recovery ride!

      Is there a pseudo swifter you can follow and use to invite for a MeetUp ride? This way you don’t bother friends with unsolicited MeetUp invites.

      It’s number 9. Included in the post above, but labeled “Makuri Islands” since that’s what it is in game.

      No offence, but if you don’t know what a text editor is, forget about this hack. Just set a meet up with someone (who doesn’t need to attend) and you can choose the route you want.

      Is there a way to hack into an “event only” route? I’m wondering about completing the new rebel routes in Tour of Watopia this year in case I happen to miss one.
