There is a new version (v47) with a few extra checks before trying to click the ‘Let’s go’ button.

This is an attempt to handle situations where the final click on ‘Let’s go’ doesn’t happen.

Tip: You can also try setting the ‘Wait longer for Launcher window’ option (or use the /extrawait command line switch) to make zwift-login wait a bit longer for changes in the launcher window.

This version implements new Keep-alive feature for better Steam compatibility as suggested and first implemented by Frank Quinn:

[..] there’s an extra bit to leave AHK open while ZwiftApp is running so that steam doesn’t refocus back to its own launcher then you need a keyboard to work it.

With this script, I can launch zwift-login from SteamLink remotely with an Apple TV remote (since the native Apple TV app only supports 2 users and we have 3 in my house) or even a Google TV / Chromecast remote without needing a keyboard and mouse at all.

Unfortunately the Zwift Launcher still frequently show a white screen, even in the most recent version 1.1.4 of this. This version of zwift-login has improved checking for white launcher windows and automatically reloading it.

Besides this the installer has been revised (no functional changes or bug fixes, but it will make it clear that AutoHotkey 1.1 and not 2.0 is required).

Besides that the new version 42 contains other bug fixes and improvements.

Bug fix: Detect if ZwiftLauncher is elevated/running as administrator and if necessary make closing it the only option (disabling ‘Launch Zwift’ and showing the ‘Close Launcher’ button instead).

Improvement: There are now extra controls that username and password fields have been updated before proceeding through the flow (to better handle the situations where it takes some time for the Launcher window to load and react to changes).

Bug fix: Could not find the TrainerRoad windows (relevant when you also use TR-Z-move).

Improvement: Adds a new /nouser command line switch. When zwift-login is launched with that switch you are allowed to launch Zwift even if no user/password is stored in zwift-login, and zwift-login also just presses Let’s Go if that is the screen the launcher opens with (it skips the Change User step in the launcher which it normally would trigger).

This is intended mostly for specialised scenarios where you use zwift-login for automating the login process. If you use the /nouser and /launch command line switches together zwift-login will simply launch Zwift and press Let’s Go (assuming that the launcher have saved your username and password).

Besides that the zwift-login window itself has a few improvements:

• The current username is visible.
• Options and buttons are disabled/enabled according to the state which zwift-login is in.
• zwift-login stays visible during the login process and displays status information in its statusbar.
• You can use the ‘Wait longer for Launcher window’ option if you experience that zwift-login attempts to log you in faster than the launcher can handle.

Edit 2022-01-03 20:45 – v37 was just uploaded. It enforces a minimum window size to fix a problem which was reported.

Edit 2022-01-04 07:45 – v38 fixes an annoying bug: The window layout was unreadable when the Preferences button wasn’t shown (i.e. zwift-preferences was not installed)

Caveats

Version 36 has only been tested with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The changes since v27 are:

• Option to conditionally launch TR-Z-move (only launch it when TrainerRoad is running)
• Support for special Zwift installations added: You can set ZWIFTPROG and ZWIFTDOC environment variables to override the location of Zwift program files and documents, respectively
• A /delay command line switch and an option in the user interface to delay launch with 10 seconds

zwift-login now handles this.

There are some caveats:

• It is more difficult to automate the new launcher so for now it works by activating the launcher window and sending keystrokes to it. It makes the solution vulnerable in cases where the PC is slow or unresponsive.
• It is only tested where username and password is saved in zwift-login and not saved in the launcher itself.
• It has not been tested in the scenario where Zwift updates. I expect it to behave strangely in that case but have not been able to test it.

Another feature has been added: There is a new zwift-log +launch shortcut in the Start menu. It just launches zwift-login with the /launch parameter.
