Live strava segments not showing up

After recently buying the edge 530 I have an issue. There are numerous strava starred segments on my Garmin device but only one of them shows up on the map when riding. It displays a separate timer and the fastest rider on that segment from my following list. However this is the only segment that works, the other dozen or so do not show up in real time. I am a strava summit subscriber too. Should I remove all and start again? The annoying thing is that this feature is the main reason why I bought the 530.

    Hey guys I have had the same issue with my fenix 5.. With some digging around on the net I have found that apparently strava has now disabled any downhill live segments. This is why they will not sync over tonthe garmin now..They have now made it anything with a .25% or more grade will no longer work for live segments

    And yet climbs do not work either. At least most are not for me, even two that worked a week before.

    I found the following bug:


    The live segment preview shows a segment that is not the one that should trigger -- nor anywhere near, but totally random.

    Apparently, the link that connects the GPS location of a segment start (that is spot on and on the usual location) to the correct live segment (again, instead the link points to a segment 800 km away).
    My 5 cents: I have > 100 live segments starred (limit is 100 on device).
    I starred 3 more last time and now certain links that were correct are 're-wired' to random other segments. 

    A bug on either Strava or Garmin side. 
    Does anyone know how to report such? The bug is present since at least 5 month for me.

    Same here, if I’m riding and want live segments I use Wahoo, Garmin just doesn’t work.
