As in title, updated the app
etc and it’s gone a bit strange. Using Apple 4k, even on a most intense ‘effort’ the power bar on the bottom sits in blue. Then returns to no colour at all. Either I’m a beast and climbing Alpe Duez is a doddle or sommat isn’t right. Used to be in red when sprinting, big efforts. Nowt much I could find on zwift forum etc. Anyone with any ideas?

Have your power stats gone on the wonk? Or your ftp got a silly value entered in?
I think this colours are based on% of ftp, so if its somehow been updated to a high number it'll never get out of get our blue.

Cheers Stumpy - I’ll have a look into that today. I hadn’t changed anything myself but check the figures are as they should be .

The colours are FTP based. Red is over FTP, orange approaching, yellow working but comfortable, blue is pedal harder 😃.

Checking what your FTP is set too is a good shout. However with zwift's track record they could just have easily borked it fixing something unrelated.

As above, check your ftp.

I nearly killed my self last night doing a workout as I'd somehow tabbed into it (off screen, no obvious editing on my part) and appended a 2 to my FTP number.

Fortunately I realised when my warm up started at 250w and climbed rapidly. My first interval at 130% of 2300W would have been interesting!

Got a few different approaches that I’m gonna tackle before my next ride tomorrow. I did flip to my iPad then back to the 4K Apple but I don’t see why that would cock it up.

So weirdly my ‘companion’ app had disconnected from zwift. That didn’t help, and yes the FTP was way too high also. Not the first time zwift has messed about but generally I’ve found it a solid platform.
Rode Von Top this morning and barely got into blue so I might keep the bodged FTP to make me look like a pro😂
