A new update to Ingress Prime was announced by Niantic!

In update 2.123.1, Portal Scanning was updated to support the latest Niantic Lightship AR version. This version now includes quality checks before you can upload a scan and rejects your scan if it doesn't pass these checks (scanned feet/ground, too dark etc.). In the gif above, you can see how the new scanning process works.

Additional bug fixes include a fix for the non-functional "Choose your faction" screen sometimes suddenly appearing for some Agents as well as fixes to Overclock sound settings.

In addition, this is how a failed ground scan from our IUENG outside correspondent looks!

@IUENG
🀳 Agents, did you know that, during a Portal Scan, the outlines of subjects scanned now have a different colour based on the Faction controlling that specific Portal with the newest update?

This mirrors how the Tesseract appears during an Overclock scan with the color of the cube also depending on the Portal's alignment.
This image shows all four possible states the Portal Scanning interface can be found in, based on Portal ownership.

A shoutout to Agent Adam for sending us these pictures!

⚠ Important PSA!

Update 2.123.1 brought with it an update to Lightship ARDK which is used in Portal Scanning and Overclocking. Android phones are required to use Googles ARCore to make use of it and if they're not supported, the options for Portal Scanning are hidden in the scanner.

With the newest update however, it seems like Ingress instantly crashes on phones that do not support ARCore. If your phone is not on the list of supported devices below, disable automatic updates on Google Play and do not update until Niantic fixes the problem.

List of supported devices: https://developers.google.com/ar/devices

Bug Report: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/21853/version-2-123-1-crashing-on-cubot-r19

We'll advise once the problem has been fixed and Ingress can be updated again. If your phone does support ARCore, there should be no problem.

Ingress Updates [ENG]
⚠ Important PSA! Update 2.123.1 brought with it an update to Lightship ARDK which is used in Portal Scanning and Overclocking. Android phones are required to use Googles ARCore to make use of it and if they're not supported, the options for Portal Scanning…
Niantic has released version 2.123.2 for Android, which fixes the issue where the game crashes immediately after launch.

The problem didn't seem to be with ARCore, as we assumed, instead old GPUs in phones seem to have caused problems.

@IUENG

The final phase of the Ctrl anomaly is fast approaching! If you are attending the Kobe anomaly in Japan (or know someone who'll be there), you'll be able to buy the new NL-1331 JP kits for the first time. The following are included in the kits:

πŸ”ΈNL-1331 JP sticker
πŸ”ΈNL-1331 JP patch
πŸ”ΈNL-1331 JP envelope

One kit costs $30 + fees for Splashthat. Note that they are not being shipped, so if you can't make it to Kobe, make sure you have someone that can pick up the kits for you during the anomaly!

Buy your kits here: https://ingressanomalyctrlkobe.splashthat.com/

Today, a Live Intel Drop was taking place in Singapore. Agents were able to track down the Operative and both factions were able to assemble the intel.

From this intel, the NIA highly suspects that Agent Ace, also known as John Hanke and CEO of Niantic Labs will be present at the Ctrl Kobe anomaly this month!

While the exact details remain classified to the highest Top Secret level even among the NIA, the following section stands out to us:

"POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES

If 'Ace' succeeds in the operation, the following consequences are anticipated

A. Revitalization of Ingress β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“
B. Strengthening of Ingress Agent network and potential initiation of β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“
C. Improvement of Ingress Operational dynamics, β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“β–“"

Dates are a human construct, and as such, we have determined that today is still the first day of September and that the WrapUp is therefore still on time. We've taken a look back at last month and summarized it so you can get up to date quickly with the IUENG WrapUp for August 2023!

If you have something you would like to submit for our monthly WrapUp, head over to @IUENG_Submission_bot and send us your report! We'd also love to hear your feedback about the WrapUp either in the comments or via the bot above.
