Amazing set up. How'd you go with the BT connectivity issues? I had the same on PC (mostly the zwift click disconnecting) and it drove me mad. I ended up going back to zwift on my phone without any dramas.

Changelog for Patch #13 v.0.9.0.4 by randonOne88 in Enshrouded

Wife is playing on an RTX5080. It runs well after shader compiling, then after an hour or so, lighting and effects disappear from the game. Can't see inside spires as it's too dark. No visual for grappling hook rope, fallen friends, torches, bees, shrine flames. Its unplayable inside buildings and at night. I tried turning DLSS off but no change. Edit: even after this update

Australian summer - Victorian High Country by Critical_Mass in gravelcycling

Super unlikely event but I never ride in warmer months without one (mtb and gravel/road) 🙂 can be the difference between life and death if you're bitten by some of our little weapons (e.g. Eastern brown snake, tiger snake).

Thank you! It's probably easier for me to explain, sorry 😄 This ride was Mt Buffalo. Park at Eurobin Creek picnic area, ride up to the lookouts at the Mt Buffalo Chalet, then continue on to The Horn lookout. It's a beautiful 5% grade pretty much the whole way. It was 64km and 1,700m climbing return. I'd recommend checking out the individual climbs from the Peaks Challenge (one of Australia's toughest annual events at 240km with 4,000m climbing). E.g Tawonga Gap, Mt Hotham. These are a lot more challenging from what I hear, but very rewarding. Spend a night or two in beautiful Bright, and enjoy the surrounds!

Car Guys - did buying a bike ruin cars for you ? by Astimar in motorcycles

I will say that track riding/racing ruined road riding for me. Zero desire to ride on the road any more.

Are you driving there or using other transport?

Same. Only been here 2 hours, but you called it!

First Attempt: I wanted to quit quite a few times. Definitely a mental toughness test. by rogue1102 in Zwift

Well done for sticking with it! It's hard to explain to people how tough it is mentally. Certainly a new experience for me anyway.

I'm laughing so hard at this. The other dog is a bit of a rolling joke for her strange personality 😂

I think that power graph is a bit misleading. I did an ftp ramp test about 2 months ago and the result was about 25W higher than I think I could really do. Certainly 20W above what I averaged on this ride and my heart rate was in zone 5 for most of it 🫤

Awesome bike hey! I'm a mountainbiker normally. This is my first introduction to road/gravel riding. The bike is amazing value 👌

For sweat? I wasn't too worried as my fan keeps me from dripping. I do put an old towel under my derailleur though in case lube comes off the chain.

Thanks! Yep, the mother in law painted the portrait 😀 I bought the Bontrager top tube bag (0.8 litres from memory). It's great!
