Device, App and Flight Info:
Device: 2021 iPad Pro 11”
OS: iPadOS 16.2
App Version: Latest, updated to the latest on the 7th

lately I’ve been having issues with IF, where it’ll crash.
I’ve been able to track it down to one thing: global server losing connection and at some point crashing the game. it has happened 3 times today, the second of which i was able to catch on screen recording.
.
What I’ve found:
1st instance saw the global server flicker rapidly between the green check mark and the red “!”. A few second later the game crashed. I initially shrugged it off as “oh this is one of the off chances the app will crash” but no…
2nd instance I saw the red “!” i started screen recording (can provide it upon request) thinking it may happen again and i was right. there was no flickering of the status it just stayed as “!” and it just crashed.
3rd instance saw a repeat of number 2, minus the recording and me making this post.
So something somewhere with the global server connection is causing the app to crash.
.
What I’ve done:
-restarted IF
-restarted device
-reinstalled
-restarted router (separate reasons from all this)
.
Some side notes:
-never happened before, in my dozens of hours of flying on this device
-my phone (not same device as with the issue) works perfectly
-all instances of it happened today
.
So anyone here got a clue as to why this could be happening?
Regarding the game crashing, Infinite Flight staff is aware of the increase in crashes on iOS devices and is trying to find a permanent solution. If you search for similar topics, you will find that a few other members have reported similar crashing-related issues.
Have you tried utilizing a different internet connection source? If the connection is unstable, your game shouldn’t crash but disconnect you from the live session.
I’m having the same problem also, but I’ve just waited a day and it was doing well until I was about to start my descent into PHNL on the game today. Very irritating.
I saw schyllberg’s post about the crashes and correct me if I am wrong, is regarding the global server flickering red then the app crashing. I don’t know If location of where you are using means anything, but Im experiencing this. I am a college student so I live in a dorm and come home for breaks. For me when I was at home over Christmas break Infinite Flight performed well and I was able to do an 8 hour long haul without issue, however once I returned to my dorm the crashing issue started happening again (as well as happening before break) and happened regardless whether I was using wifi or cellular.
Once again, just today, i was flying above the pacific and my game crashed and it does appear that it may have been the global server connection loss again.
The global server connection flickered for a few seconds before stopping all together, and about 2 minutes later the game crashed
