Airplane Mode News

Hello passengers,

For this month's update, we've added support for a couple of the most popular languages on Steam. We also fixed a few annoying bugs, especially ones that bricked your in-game phone. Finally, we've got some new content that's sure to please anyone who likes to get a little meta: two exclusive episodes of the Eggplant podcast, one of them about Airplane Mode itself (think of it as our way of doing a developer commentary).

Added:
- [New Podcast] Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games
- Simplified Chinese localization
- Russian localization

Fixes:
- Disabled pull-down menu during Photo editing
- Other minor fixes

Hi folks, we've released an update to fix some issues with our landing gear. We also pushed an update to the in-game phones of flyers with non-standard screen resolutions. We also added a little something spooky from our friends at AMC TV. As always, please let us know if you've got any questions or you encounter any new issues with your service.

Added:
- The Walking Dead: Lil' Walkie beta (virtual pet app for the in-game phone)
- Opt-in error reporting added to the Settings menu

Hey, It's Hosni again.
Here's an update: We've identified the memory leak issue as being a bug between our engine's video player and windows media player (which apparently only affects a portion of PCs).
We've upgraded to a newer version of the engine and that seems to have fixed the memory leak issue but we're still running tests to make sure that noting else was affected.

The next step is we want to widen our tests. If you believe you've been affected by this memory leak bug and are willing to help us test, please email me at [email protected] and I will set you up with a test build.

If all goes well with these tests, we can have the patch live soon afterwards. Hopefully no more than a couple of days.

I will continue to keep you updated and, once again, I sincerely apologize if you have been unable to play the game due to these issues.

Hey everyone,
This is Hosni, Airplane Mode developer. I just want to thank you for buying the game, and for those of you that have been unable to run it, we again apologize and are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. We are committed to getting it running on every supported machine, and I want to thank all the people that have sent their crash logs, it has been a real help.

One important thing I want to point out is that your hardware and computer specs are not a factor. From all the reporting we’ve received, the game-breaking memory leaks are happening only on some Windows machines, irrespective of specs. However, we have identified the problem and are working on a solution.

If you are experiencing the same problems cited by folks here and you are running the game on a Mac, please reach out.

I will also be posting updates here regarding meaningful patch progress, in the meantime I want to thank you for your patience and understanding.

-Hosni
