Re: Upcoming changes to First Saturday as of January 2024
The player base is much smaller than it was pre-pandemic, hosting local IFS events is going to be much harder in many areas. To go from global inclusivity to being restricted to only those who live in high player populated areas or are willing to travel once a month seems harsh.
The messaging was also condescending at best. You can all pretend to play but only the cool kids get credit.
The Enlightened have won ANOTHER anomaly series.
Despite Calvinball rules requiring we fight off a 33% score differential.
I mean, you COULD just say the green XM is for Christmas... Since the inception of the feature, we have never seen green XM on the ground.
The game crashes when you finish the scan
Hi! I've been trying to do portal scans throughout the day and on every scan the game crashes. I have tried doing short scans, long scans, clearing data and app cache, uninstalling the game, and it doesn't work, the game continues to crash. In addition, the image when scanning the portal is blurry
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Re: Chronos - Impressions from Day 1
150+ portal park, only 6 OC portals. Another 150+ portal park, only 5 OC portals. Disappointing to try to run around and grab the other one here or one there, or the ones that you can't scan without actually walking in traffic. Soo much fun.
Glad I'm going the #hardmode way. Captures and mods. Took about 2.5 hours to unlock the low tier. Not even going to mention how much gas I wasted. How much extra **** I tossed into the air to get that (or how much more I will do, to get the remaining amount). If you gave me a point per resonator deployed, I'd of been in the park, walking and glyphing away. then driving to the next park, rinse and repeat. But there isn't hardly anything to OC. So I'm just gonna drive it out and do parks, but its disappointing that there isn't other ways to gain points. Those who have nearly no portals and/or have recruited all their pals to play, are gonna have to figure out OC if they have the ability to even do so.
As is, I see this event as a way to make the VPS network larger. Get agents out scanning, adding to Niantic's data pool. Scanning doesn't even give you points in this event either. So all of that scanning to hopefully make an OC portal gives you nothing!
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
Would have been nice if Niantic pushed all the eligible VPS portals online prior to the event, instead of leaving it to the players without any direction. Additionally, Players can only activate up to 20 Wayspots without getting errors on wayfarer thus further discouraging activation & additional gameplay…. Another event fumbled by creators.
Overclock hack with thin glyph pattern lines, difficult to decipher
Symptom
When I try to solve a problem in the Overclock hack, the glyph pattern lines are too thin and difficult to decipher. When I restart Ingress, the lines temporarily become thicker but soon become thinner. The screenshot is attached.
Occurrence conditions
Model: Pixel 7
OS: Android 14
Note 1: Some users have reported similar symptoms on Pixel 7pro and Pixel 8pro.
Appendix 2: Pixel 3a (Android 12) has no problem.
Tip 3: No problem on iPhone (iPhone 12 pro)
Please
This is during the Overclock hack event, and we ask for an immediate fix.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
Y'know I'd love to send some overclocks for this... but we are running this event in winter and its dark 2 hours before I'm even off work.................................
C'mon.
Also this is partially Cali's fault for mucking up the whole West coast not removing DST.
Overclock guide
Hi everyone! I wrote a huge guide about all aspects of overclock, feel free to read it and ping me if you think I missed something
Hope this one will be useful for you :)
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
This is where Niantic shows their incompetence.
So they have an event where Overclock is a big part of the event. Yet no where **in game** do they give us the option to VPS-Activate the Portals, or even explain how to. Not even a link to download the in-beta-and-breaks-all-the-time, Wayfarer VPS-Activate app, which is the only way to activate Overclock.
No where in-game does it mention you need to do 10 scans that are at least five hours apart from the first to the 10th scan. All it does is just keeps asking for more scans.
I’m the only player in my county that’s actively been scanning and working on activating Overclock, 6,186 scans so far. When I first started scanning and noticed it would simply tell you to do more scans after you do seven scans, then asked tor more scans, I had to go to Reddit to find out how to actually activate Overclock.
The least they could of done was give a months notice before the event started, with a detailed guide **n-game** on how to VPS-Activate the portals.
And do the event when it’s warmer!!
