Overclock Glyph is almost never highlighted, very difficult to see

Whenever I begin an Overclock hack session on a portal, the glyph is almost always very thin, dark, and barely readable for me. I am expecting the glyph to be properly highlighted so I can easily read it in all conditions, but this almost never happens.

Screenshot of the initial tesseract deployment. The first glyph is WAR:

It took me several seconds to find the correct position to confirm the WAR glyph, and it remained unhighlighted the entire time, with the glyph lines basically blending in and looking like the tesseract borders to me:

This essentially makes Overclock unplayable for me in certain lighting conditions.

    As described in the original announcement, the glyph will glow brighter the closer you are to the correct orientation. Even if its a symmetrical glyph, you may need to look at the glyph from 180⁰ around the glyph cube.

    The issue I'm having is that, no matter what orientation I take around the cube, it never highlights, even if I'm in the correct orientation. Either all of the glyphs are always highlighted in every orientation, or none of them are. And it's almost always the latter case.

    On the rare occasions the glyphs are highlighted, they stay highlighted at every orientation I take around the cube.

    I also have reports from other fellow players that always see the glyphs highlighted no matter what their orientation is.

    ✋ I've never seen the lines not highlighted, I always assumed it was a feature they planned but didn't implement yet just like the cube redeployment that wasn't part of the initial release either.

    Restart Ingress just before you start overclocking. The lines will probably be highlighted then. Just one of many weird memory-corruption bugs that they seem to have.

    Thanks! I'll give this a try in a bit and report what happens.
