Options to turn on/off Animations/Nearby Portals
Hi there,
It would be really nice to have some switches in Settings to turn on/off different ingame-features
First: Hack animation
Give the Players, which are begging since redacted was still known as the only ingress, the opportunity to switch off the animation.
It would give us more time playing without external batteries and also fasten the game experience while hacking Portal clusters
it doesnt matter if the animation is in the middle or on the left side, most of the time its simply in the way
Second: Nearby Portals
thanks for bringing it back
it doesnt work right and it’s showing portals 200km away but closer portals aren’t shown. Sometimes it shows the same Portals on more than one boxes in different directions. If it shows closer Portals it shows them in the wrong direction.
It was a nice Feature in REDACTED but in Prime it is in the way and kills the formerly clean UI.
so give us the Option to turn it off, please
Comments
I agree, give us an option for on/off... also the pulse i hate cant they also offer an on or off option it really makes xm a pain since its hardly visible...
Sometimes the nearby portal windows are a bit big.
Maybe they should be a lot smaller, with just a colored outline representing faction, and a distance. On clicking a specific nearby window, it should grow and show the name and picture.
I've also had instances of the portal showing as resistance owned, went to upgrade, then saw it was enlightened.
Please allow nearby portals to be an option you can toggle on/off.
Redacted showed the nearest 3 portals when it thought none were showing. Due a a bug (unlocked counter?) this stopped working after the program had been running for a whike.
Prime shows 3 portals it knows about - usually the ones you interacted with last, or keys from your inventory until it has loaded the local map.
Showing anything until the local map is loaded is 'just wrong' (tm).
And an option to disable pics in comm,and a high/low graphics switch(now graphic preset depends of ram,if it is 2 gb its low if it's 3+gb its high).And an option for something else to enable/disable(attack animations,link animations,field animations etc)(i'd disabled even main portal photos when i'm not at wifi if i could,like ximage xposed module did in old ingress)..
All in advanced settings.
But firstly - language selection,please.
Just changed the phone battery 2nd time in a year, it popped because of heat, my legacy phone gets too warm,
just a 'Legacy' option for the graphics would be handy, that turns all GPU intensive animations off and presents a rudimentary (possibly ugly) GUI without animations and whatever; -basic, simple, not GPU/CPU/battery consuming.
Thanks for a great game!
It's galling that this still isn't an option. Games on desktop, including lots of Unity games, let the user pick a graphics mode from a few presets, because not everyone has the latest hardware. Yet Ingress only provides a "Dynamic Lighting" toggle (which has no noticeable effect), and "Battery Saver Mode" (essentially a screensaver).
