Power control in structured workouts has stopped working.
TPV no longer holds the required power in workouts. I have a choice of power meter options - Kickr or power meter on the bike. In structured workouts, the TPV system hits the required power briefly then drops to 50 to 70 Watts. Same result for whichever of the power devices I have paired. I have done multiple re-runs after complete shut down but I can't get the system to properly run power in my structured workouts. System is all working fine on the Zwift platform.

Many thanks for letting us know about this, and your support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
This is a bug in the latest release that impacts ERG mode workouts if your trainer disconnects (and then automatically reconnects) whilst you are riding. We already have a fix and this will be available in the next release out next week.

Apologies if you've already tried this: during your workout have you pressed the "E" key to toggle between ERG/Virtual/Constant modes? On the cooldown interval I will often toggle to virtual and sometimes the next workout defaults to virtual even though ERG is enabled in the workout window.

I have the same problem. When I do a TPv workout, using the ERG Mode doesn't work automatically. Instead of having the smart bike trainer do it, I must switch gears to match the Watts I requested.

An update to the below. One of my sons tonight did one of the TPv baked-in workouts, and the power requested matched the TPv workout's numbers. Given that the trainer did what TPv requested in this instance, I don't think it's a trainer connection issue--it appears to me that, at least for us, something isn't working in the connection between TP Structured Workout >>> TPv>>>Trainer. Sorry for not explaining myself better.

I'm having this (or at least a similar) issue as well. We have three iPads connected to three trainers (two Kickr and one Tacx), and lately the work requested of the trainers does not match the structured workout. For example, my son's workout called for, say 175w, but his average power for the interval was 155w--with ERG on, etc. Mine may call for 210w during an interval, but the power I'm required to pedal is 300w+. This has not been a problem previously. I've resorted to using my Garmin, and the structured workout is pushed perfectly to the trainer via the Garmin. Something is no longer working for us in terms of TPv calling for the correct values from the trainers.
