⚠ Feedback wanted! ⚠

The IUENG - Extra! channel has been around for a while now and has been a good and more casual alternative to the main @IUENG channel with posting news as soon as they happen or forwarding import posts from elsewhere without worrying about writing up an entire post first!

How have you experienced the Extra! channel since it has been launched? Do you think it is a good alternative to the main channel, do you think it is pointless to have two separate channels or do you have any other thoughts or feedback? Write it in the comments below or, if you don't want it to be public, send it to the @IUENG_Submission_bot.

We are looking forward to the replies and hope to adjust any grievances you may have :)

@IUENG_Extra

Agents - the NIA is reporting medals should be correct now. If you are still experiencing an issue, please do contact in-scanner support.

🏆 CHALLENGE REWARDS AGAIN

There’s an important note about OPR Live as well.

As of writing this post, rewards for the Edit Wayfarer Challenge are still being distributed, with Ingress-only players waiting for their mail. If you haven't received your mail yet, no sweat, Niantic gave themselves until the end of the week.

@IUENG_Extra

The rewards for the Edit Wayfarer Challenge are now going out to Ingress-only accounts!

Quote from an Agent on ground:

SHARDS HELL!!!!

@IUENG_Extra

With the latest Ingress update, the "Native Frame Rate" toggle in the settings was removed. Instead, the setting is now enabled by default and cannot be turned off.

@IUENG_Extra

The Drone apparently got upgraded with an afterburner! The animation for moving the Drone has been sped up, drastically reducing the waiting time before hacking the new Portal.

(GIF not sped up)

@IUENG_Extra

Dev Diary about the new Scanner Rendering has been posted!

https://ingress.com/news/2024dev-scannerrenderingupdate

@IUENG_Extra

Some interesting stuff:

- Greatly reduced post-processing, which might fix the bug some people experienced when OCing that causes thin Glyph lines to appear
--> If you updated and still experience this bug, please open a bug report in the app

- Average Scanner app startup time from cold start is 2.3 seconds faster
- Average Drone move time is 1.0 second faster
- Average Agent Profile open time is 0.5 seconds faster

- Native Refresh Rate is the standard of the new rendering system Unity uses, as the native refresh rate of a device is generally best for the battery life as it reduces extra work to "throttle" Ingress

- Niantic mentiones once again that Ingress is intended to "stay long-term", even though the team working on it is quite small

Do read through the full article, it is quite interesting anyway: https://ingress.com/news/2024dev-scannerrenderingupdate
