No cadence w/ a non-smart trainer and sw crashes

Hi Christopher, Did this ultimately solve the issue for you?

HI Jeff. Yes, and thanks. I've not been on the platform much but today's ride with the dedicated hardware worked, except for the inability to record the workout in Strava despite Orbrider stating that the workout had started correctly. (the Strava account is linked correctly.) This behavior, to my dismay, has happened a few times now. And it was a solid workout, too.... 😥

Hi Christopher - Sorry to hear that! Changing the video resolution and quality in the game settings is the only thing that you can do while observing the FPS count to see if it gets closer to 30. It does sound like a memory leak that could be causing the crash, which could be associated with the water. I fixed an issue with the water causing the game to pause slightly every 15 seconds or so and that could be related to what you are experiencing. I should have this next version ready in another week or so and we can see if it addresses the issue for you.

Presumung "FPS" means frames per second?

Yes, that is correct. This measures how quickly your PC is running the game. So while you may be able to improve this metric it may not necessarily solve the crashing.

Thanks, Jeff, for the quick reply. The crash has happened only once so far and thinking more on it, I was also using the Wahoo app simultaneously in order to get my cadence. So, I think I inadvertently caused the crash whilst trying to use the sensor both with ant and bt.

No problem! I should be able to release a new interim version in December while I continue to work towards a version that I'm planning to release on the Mac App Store in 2023. This next version will introduce you to workouts and challenges that have been added to each biome. The multiplayer capabilities will be restored as well.

The challenges consist of chasing down targets during your workout. The image below shows a rabbit that has spawned as the chase target.

However, catching each chase target gets more difficult as wolves join the chase and try to catch the rabbit before you. The wolves will also attack you if you let them! The screen capture below shows an "Orb Sprite" that you acquire as you progress and can help heal, guard or attack during these challenges.

The goal for OrbRider is to create a gamified experience with modern graphics and visual distractions that make indoor cycling fun and engaging. Thanks again for your interest and I'll make another announcement once I have the next version available.

Would you mind sharing if you are using the Mac or PC version of the game and what the FPS count is in the top right corner of your screen?

PC and I'll get you the FPS during tomorrow's workout.

The rabbit/wolf additions sound intriguing! Cool stuff!
