It has sadly been over half an hour during an Anomaly and Agents are still reporting problems with the game. Niantic has just announced that they are aware of the current issues and are investigating.

While we have not heard anything official from Niantic yet it seems like the problems are fixed and Agents are once again being able to battle! Good luck, Agents!

@IUENG

Niantic has published the details of the score in Budapest!

🔵 Budapest was won by the Resistance with a score of ENL 86.1 - 113.9 RES.

As this event was the final battle in the Buried Memories series, the final score therefore stands at:

ENL 692.4 - 679.2 RES

🟢 That means that the Enlightened have won the Buried Memories Anomaly series! Congratulations, Agents!

We will post the detailed scores of Budapest in a bit!

🔵 The Resistance capture the Buried Memories Anomaly in Budapest, Hungary!

Niantic has acknowledged the server issues during the first two waves, however they believe that no faction gained an advantage during that time that would have swayed the result which is why the points of these two waves will stand after discussion with the Vanguards.

Quote from Niantic:

Note on Budapest: We are aware of the server issues that impacted the Scanner and Intel Map during Waves 1 and 2 of the Buried Memories: Budapest Anomaly. Our servers recovered by Wave 3, and neither Faction gained an advantage in Waves 1 or 2 that could have changed the outcome of the Anomaly Score or overall Anomaly Season. After discussing with Vanguards, we decided not to adjust or discount scores from Waves 1 and 2. We are still investigating the cause of the server issues, and we’re working to resolve them before the next Anomaly Site is activated.

Brian Rose, commenting on a Reddit post which lamented the inability for newer devices to perform Scans and other AR tasks, addressed the issue directly by stating that the Lightship team internal to Ingress is working to update the Lightship ARDK the game is currently running.

This update should expand the gamut of devices to those which are currently able to perform AR tasks on Pokémon Go. No timeline was provided for this improvement.

Editor's note: Pokemon Go is currently using the oldest Lightship scanning technology. If you were able to scan in the past you will probably be able to scan again, however if you haven't been able to scan in the past at all then you will probably not be able to scan in the future either because old devices lack the technology to support AR.

Experiencing an Anomaly live is always a great time, but last weekend, the most striking moments for me were the ones during the GORUCK challenges, which left me speechless while witnessing the endeavours of participating Agents! - @carlobolla

Every Anomaly Site normally hosts 3 GORUCK Events:

Stealth Ops and Urban Ops
A series of competitive, physical challenges which are disputed respectively in the night before or the morning of the Anomaly. These events contribute to the score of an Anomaly Site.

Operation Clear Field
An optionally crossfaction service-themed scavenger hunt with competitive Ingress exploration. Usually held the morning after the Anomaly.

All these are paid events hosted by GORUCK, and participants will obtain a patch of the event they participated in, and a point on their respective Ingress Badge.

These events are also available for the next Anomaly events, on August 17th and September 21st so, if you are willing to put your own physical strength and power on the line to help your Faction in first person, this is the perfect way to do so!

The #BuriedMemories #BonusWeek is now active!

All actions performed in game will now yield 1.331x the normal AP and hacks on friendly Portals will yield 1.331x the normal amount of gear!

Its the perfect time to level up after your Recursion or farm again after the Anomalies!

These bonus effects will remain active until July 1st @ 16:00 UTC!

@IUENG

Niantic has clarified how the AP bonuses will stack during the Buried Memories Bonus Week and 2x AP 2sday.

Just like for the previous Bonus Week, the two bonuses will not stack.

The 2x AP bonus during Tuesday afternoons (16:00 - 21:00) local time will override the 1.331x AP from the Bonus Week.

However, Apexes will double the AP bonus of 2x AP 2sdays up to a 4x multiplier.

Niantic has released a new update to Ingress Prime, version 2.144.1!

In this version XM was "moved to a more efficient infrastructure", hopefully implying a reduction in cost for Niantic and better performances for the game.
Moreover, the background tiles shown upon loading behind medals in the Agent Profile were updated as shown in the picture above.

This update will roll out to all Agents in the next few days!

Niantic has updated their channel picture for the official Ingress Telegram channel, revealing the new app icon for the Shared Memories anomaly series in Q3! While it is currently not visible on the App Stores or the App itself we assume that the next update will add this icon to the Scanner.

Niantic seems to be testing in-game store rewards for reaching a certain number of recursions.

Have you achieved the monumental feat of Recursion five or more times? Head to the shop to receive a free Hypercube!

At the moment, it is unknown how often these offers refresh, if they change or if more rewards will be available for Agents who recursed a different number of times, so visit the shop from time to time to check if anything new appears.

Niantic has released Update 2.145.2 to the App Stores!

Ingress has been updated to Lightship ARDK 3 which promises support for more devices and improved stability. If you can scan in Pokemon GO, you should now be able to scan in Ingress as well according to Brian on Reddit a short while ago. Report in the comments after you have updated!

The UI has also been optimized and closing out of screens now feels snappier. Among the bug fixes for this version background audio from other apps now will no longer stop if you're starting Ingress.

Shared Memories Rules - Pt. 1
Global Shared Link Challenge

The first Event for the Shared Memories Anomaly Series will take place in just 2 days!

We are talking about the Global Shared Link Challenge, which will start on July 12th @ 16:00 UTC and will end on August 5th @ 16:00 UTC!
During this challenge period, Agents will be able to obtain points towards the Global Shared Link Challenge Medals by creating and destroying links!

Medal Tiers
🥉Base: 2000 points
🥈Advanced: 10000 points

3 medal points will be awarded to a Player for each link created
1 medal point will be awarded for each enemy (or Machina) link destroyed

Additionally, bonus points will be obtainable if Agents team up to create Linkstars from a single Portal!
Once the star reaches 400 links on the same portal, for each new link, the following bonuses will be awarded to a random Agent who created at least one link in the Linkstar:

400-499 Links: 20 Points awarded to a random Link creator
500-599 Links: 30 Points awarded to a random Link creator
600-699 Links: 40 Points awarded to a random Link creator
700-799 Links: 50 Points awarded to a random Link creator
800-899 Links: 60 Points awarded to a random Link creator
900-999 Links: 70 Points awarded to a random Link creator
1000-1100 Links: 80 Points awarded to a random Link creator
1100+ Links: No further Bonus Points awarded.

Based on the performance of Agents, Niantic will award 200 total Season Points to the Factions with these criteria:

100 Season Points will be distributed based on the number of Advanced (Silver) Medals obtained by each Faction
70 Season Points will be distributed based on the number of Base (Bronze) Medals obtained by each Faction
30 Season Points will be distributed based on the cumulative number of Challenge Points obtained by each Faction, but only by level 10+ Agents!

Niantic will announce the results of this challenge one week after the end on their blog, and we will repost them here once they're available!
