App crashing frequently

Hi, I recently encountered many app crashes in Infinite Flight especially during short final. I have lost and wasted many hours due to this issue, and hoped this will be fix. I have deleted and reinstalled the game, lowered graphics, and avoided background activity.

Device: iPAD (8th Gen)
Operating System: 18.2

Same here (10 char)

Hey there!

Could you please share what your graphics settings, as well as aircraft count (in the Online settings submenu) are currently set to?

Could you please include the same details as requested above, plus your device and OS version?

Yeah I also had the same problem but I’m pretty sure my device could also handle it. (It just happened again while I was about to land at JFK)

Mostly when I’m there is ATC or high traffic is when I topically get crashes but lately I’ve been getting crashes when just flying on the expert sever and it is mostly on final when it crashes

Apple IPad (Gen 9) OS 18.1

What about these details?

High and high

Try lowering them to Medium, and if the crashes persist, set them to Low. Once you’ve stabilized the app by doing so, you can then start playing around with the settings little by little, to see what you can increase without inducing an app crash. However, I doubt you’d be able to increase the settings above Low and still have stable app behavior.

Both the 8th and 9th Gen iPads have only 3GB of RAM - which is the minimum requirement to use IF - and it’s not enough to keep IF running with such high graphics and aircraft density settings, as they require tons of memory. The higher the quality, resolution and amount of textures on screen, the more memory is required. iOS will just kill the app when it allocates too much memory, or allocates memory too quickly. This explains why the app tends to crash on final - it’s at this stage that airport items (pavements, runways, taxiways, buildings (if available), etc.) are loaded, causing a rapid increase in the RAM usage, which triggers iOS’ memory manager to kill the app.
