Niantic has just forced update 2.128 and with it, some Agents are reporting crashes when starting the game.
While the exact reason is unknown, our current theory is that it affects agents that have never fully completed the tutorial in Prime since it launched. With the newest update, Niantic introduced a new tutorial, however, it hasn't been activated by them yet. We assume that the Scanner is trying to start this deactivated tutorial and crashes due to it.
If this is indeed the reason for the crash, the bug should automatically resolve itself once Niantic activates the new tutorial.
If you are experiencing this issue, you can upvote and comment on this post: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/22083/globe-animation-freezes-during-login-sound-keeps-playing
Current status: 🟢 Issue fixed.

The Ingress team has made updates to Overclock!
Our outside correspondent has noticed that the hack timers for Overclock seems to have been increased for the higher portal levels. As an example, while L7 portals previously had a timer of 19 seconds to complete an Overclock hack it has now been increased to 27 seconds. Let us know if you see increased hack timers at other levels!
Additionally, it has been noted by a member of our discussion group, @HalabanachaPL, that the team is planning to introduce a new statistic to the profile. The "Overclock Hack Points" statistic is currently non-functional so it is unknown how exactly it'll count, however Agents can trigger its appearance in their profile by completing an Overclock hack.
⚠We want to note that the introduction of a new statistic does not necessarily mean the introduction of a new medal.

The new statistic we reported on earlier seems to have been activated! The Overclock Hack Points are being backfilled slowly as well, so if you have done Overclock hacks in the past it seems like that they will count towards the new statistic. It is unclear if every Overclock hack since its release is counted or if there is a cut-off.
Agent @a1mirr (thank you!) has experimented with different portals and has provided us with the following list that shows how many points Agents get for correctly completing Overclocks with diffrent Portal levels. If you fail to calibrate to the Portal you'll recieve the same Hack Points you'd recieve for correctly glyphing the portal, however if you are calibrated to it you'll recieve a 5 point bonus.
For an uncallibrated Overclock:
L1: 1 point
L2: 2 points
L3, L4, L5: 4 points
L6, L7: 8 points
L8: 15 points
For a calibrated Overclock:
L1: 6 points
L2: 7 points
L3, L4, L5: 9 points
L6, L7: 13 points
L8: 20 points

Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.129.1!
In the Release Notes, Niantic officially announced the addition of the "Overclock Hack Points" statistic we reported on. As expected, the amount of points received depend on the Portal Level plus an additional 5 points for each successful calibration to a Portal.
In addition, the Ingress team has added a short video that is shown to new agents before they start their journey. Fixes include a fix for a bug for existing Agents concerning the codename and Faction selection screens.

What's new in the latest Ingress release.
Today, we're celebrating a unique union in the Ingress community. Agents @Chokotulipan and @Algerdark, two dedicated Resistance players, are tying the knot! Their journey began 5 years ago at an Ingress farm in the vibrant heart of Mexico City!
This duo has been an integral part of the local community, sharing countless memorable moments. Now, they're embarking on their first steps together as a family, and they're thrilled to share this significant date with all of us.
The Ingress Updates staff joins the Mexican Ingress community in celebrating the event and extends their heartiest congratulations to the couple, with our best wishes for a happy future together!
Many thanks to @MrChics for sharing the happy news with us!

In 2012, a group of researchers at CERN discovered a new sub-atomic particle that carried the ability to transmit data directly into one's mind. Shortly before a failed experiment locked the research facility down, two people escaped with the help of a mysterious helper. One of these two fled via a train from Zurich Hauptbahnhof but lost their phone in the process. The contents of this phone were discovered and uploaded by someone nicknamed "Glitchy Guy" shortly before he disappeared. On November 15th 2012, exactly 11 years ago, the software extracted from the phone was released on the Play Store under the guise of a game.
Today, we celebrate the 11th anniversary of Ingress!🔸
Throughout these years, Ingress has undergone numerous updates and transformations, often bringing a mix of emotions and opinions. But one thing remains constant - the vibrant memories and experiences we've all gathered as Agents in this engaging virtual world.
This anniversary, we want to turn the spotlight on you, the Agents who have made Ingress more than just a game. Whether it's a thrilling field op that took you across cities, a memorable anomaly you participated in, or simply the friendships and communities you've built, we want to hear your most cherished Ingress memories.
Write them down in the comments below and we will give away 1 VR Loadout each to 3 Agents that have shared their story! We will randomly choose them once the current Anniversary event ends next Monday, November 20th at 17:00 UTC.

We have received reports of the final score from GORUCK Stealth in Bangkok!
After a lot of challenges, the Resistance have won with a score of ENL 1 - 6 RES and have therefore been given the opportunity to insert an additional Shard Jump at tomorrow's anomaly at a time of their choosing. In addition, Intel for Shard spawns and targets were also distributed.
Quick editorial note: We accidentally got the factions switched the wrong way around in the first version of this post. The Resistance have won with a Score of ENL 1 - RES 6. We apologise for the error 🙇♂
