OTA Power Up 2.3.0 Is out

[ebeponyan]

Can someone post an image of the new game please?

Will try to remember in the morning. Both single player, both reasonably entertaining.

One is a mix of Tetris and... Othello? You try to black/white out a 6x6 square with an endless queue of tetris-style shapes that must each be played entirely on either white or black squares. Once a shape is played, the squares underneath will toggle to white/black. Filling the board will increase the number of points per play, and shapes will get increasingly cumbersome as time goes on. You have the ability to "park" a piece to hold in reserve and free the board up in case you get stuck, otherwise it's game over. I like that you can either try to play several moves ahead, or just see how far you can yolo your way through.

The other is a matching game where you draw a continuous, but not necessarily straight, line through 4 squares on a grid that each have a different color. This will destroy the matched blocks for points. New blocks will fall down and take their place, and adjacent blocks of the same color will morph into monoliths which may be harder to eliminate, but will be worth more points. Very reminiscent of a number of popular mobile games in the Candy Crush/Bejeweled family. There is a casual and a speed mode.

Sound better than tik tak toe

This is all great news. THRILLED for expanded CarPlay (even if Google maps doesn’t take advantage of it).
Seems like Ford is getting it together for OTAs which apparently was the reason BlueCruise delay.

This is probably to do with Doug Field steering the software side (ex Tesla tech exec).

That was only recently right? But maybe he really got down to business then on day one ?

Edit: and I think he was Apple. I could Google all of this but well, we all know I’m not.

IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME. ?

FYI - for anyone keeping track, the motion sensor bug is still there in 2.3.0 (Sync 244).

haha...
Some in germany didn't see any updates yet

I got 1.6.0, that's it by now

Or you could just get a real mobile phone ?

Doesn't get any more real than this!

Well, it's good to know I've still got some company! Yeah, same boat. Supposedly a fix is in the works, but I really wish they'd hurry it up. The last update I got was over the summer.

Out of curiosity : did you (and all the US-citizens) go to the dealer for the 21P22 customer update? Part of that update is an update to the updater module in the car. I try to establish a correlation between this update and people not getting OTA updates. (mostly early builds) A fix for this will not come from an OTA update and you have to apply this at your dealer.

Yes, the only way to get 21P22 is at a dealer. That said, there are up to 13 module updates in 21P22, and some of them may in fact get updated OTA. The idea behind 21P22 was to update up to 13 modules all at once, instead of in dribs and drabs.

My May 2021 build WAS getting OTA updates prior to this, albeit 6+ weeks after others on the forum said they got them.

I do not have the 21P22 update yet. I am in the Early Adopter program, though, and I don't think I've seen that mentioned either way by anyone on this thread yet?

Here's some terrible H.264 (you're welcome, MacOS System 7 folks) video of the two new games:

I have yet to get 21P22 (actually Monday I get it) but did get PowerUp-2.1.0 and 2.3.0 is queued for me--hopefully it arrives before Monday (don't want the OTA screwing with 21P22).

do you mean the "prompt at every turn off instead of respecting the setting" bug or something different?
