ZwiftHQ has pushed out version 1.0.14797, a 50MB update which includes:
- Zwift Academy Semi-Finals 2nd month of workouts added: congrats to the semi-finalists!
- Slight improvements to reduce jerkiness of riders in a pack: I’ve seen several complaints from members who have said they have “flown” off-course since this update. It may be related to this tweak.
- Added ability to disable powerups on select group rides/events: a much-need feature which will allow race organizers to decide whether or not powerups are allowed. This will eliminate confusion on the part of racers who don’t always read the details to find out what is allowed.
-
Halloween mode reduced from 3 days to 1 day (Oct 31): get out there and enjoy being a skeleton today!
This release also includes two updates to improve efficiency, which is something we always appreciate:
- Reduced sizes of many data files to make future updates smaller/faster: always a good thing! Nothing worse than showing up almost late for a race or group ride, then having to install an update first.
- Reduction of network requests to help load ‘Riders Nearby’ faster, especially during times when lots of group ride events are scheduled.
