Long links still giving issues.

** This is not due to speedlock. This is not due to insufficient link range. This is not due to other rookie mistakes**

**This is not an isolated incident. The reports with the community of not being able to link long range still come up. There may be several causes. Situation below might give some extra insight in cause of one of the bugs**

Situation:

Portal cap & deployed. I tried to link over 500 km. Linkrange including 2 linkamps was sufficient. It refused (the key did not show up).

I moved to the next portal, Portal cap & deployed. Added 1 linkamp. Linkrange was sufficient. Only keys showed up with linkrange WITHOUT the linkamp.

Kept on trying, both portals kept refusing to link.

Restarted Prime. No improvement.

Restarted phone, restarted Prime. Key of portal to link to showed up.

Portal able to link after restart: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=52.868464,4.854609&z=17&pll=52.868464,4.854609

  • Me too. I have had problems with connections for some time. Most of the time, I solve by putting all my keys in capsules, leaving only what I need in the inventory. Sometimes, this trick doesn't work.

  • On 11th of July 20:06 UTC+3 I've had a similar incident, which was the 3rd for me and I know for a fact that it happened to 2 other agents as well.

    Was trying to link from a L8 portal to several portals. Managed to link to a portal 38km away but not to one 118km away. Facts:

    1. Had just the keys needed available at the inventory - all others in capsules.
    2. There was no speedlock (was able to glyph and throw one link)
    3. I stayed in range of the portal at the whole time while trying to link, I'd found out that this caused issues before.
    4. I had 4g+ reception, everything else ingame worked perfectly
    5. I forced stop, cleared data and restarted the application but the problem persisted.
    6. The path to the portal I wanted to link to was always free as I was assured by agents on map. After 30 min of trying all possible solutions I could think, I dropped the key to another agent, who was able to link instantly.

    Definitely still an open issue. And very long links still don't render correctly in Prime either. Sometimes they just don't show up.
