I am a programmer, and the flaws and just ‘WOW!’ in Zwift have driven me mildly insane for over 2 years.
I’m just glad its not me that has to do the updates. I can’t imagine the spaghetti code all over the place.
I remember the ‘you are seeing everyone around you in the member list’ that was finally corrected. It made the list so less a psychotic hot mess. I thought there should be a way to just make it go away, so thanks to the programmer(s) that fixed that.
But we come for the UI glitches, I thought. Watching people pedal in mid-air, and ride through axle deep concrete. Oh, and the runners you can mow down in the middle of the course. The wife watched a short moment of a session, and was getting way to involved. ‘HE JUST HIT YOU! TRACK HIM DOWN AND KILL HIM!!!’, ‘WHAT, THEY JUST RODE THROUGH YOU! THAT’S GROSS!’, ‘YOU JUST SAT THERE AND LET THEM PASS YOU? THEY WERE RUDE! WHY’D YOU LET THEM DO THAT?’ She doesn’t pop her head in anymore, and I’m relieved…
there is a rock on the side of the road at the top of the radio tower climb that I plow through every time I reach the summit. I love that rock.
This new feature has seemed pretty buggy to me. On one long ride I did, my ride didn’t upload to strava when I exited. Not sure if that was the new feature or the fact that long rides don’t seem to always upload to strava.
I also doesn’t seem to place nice with ending a ride from the companion app.
Last, we can’t you just quit all the way if you want to and go back to home when you want to. Now I have to click a couple more times to exit the game when I almost never want to do another ride. It’s like it’s a win-lose situation with them.
Yeah, Barry the Boulder is a champ. He gives new meaning to the phrase hitting the wall, after a long climb
There are a few of those during that climb.
