Aloft’s latest patch, version 0.3.5.17, tightens up glider logistics and squashes a handful of pesky bugs, making your sky-faring adventures a little smoother.
Glider Adjustments for Better Progression
The biggest change targets crashed Gliders on Home Islands—once you’ve repaired one, it will now disappear after a short time, reducing visual clutter. However, these wrecks remain visible to any player who hasn’t yet claimed the pattern, ensuring no one misses out on the blueprint. This is a smart balance between cleanup and accessibility.
Audio and Visual Polish
The patch also tunes the sky-high experience:
- Megaboost sound now persists as long as it’s active while using the Bone Oculus
- Opal Oculus gliding now has its own SFX
- General mixing adjustments for several glider sounds
For players, this means fewer confusing audio cutouts and a more immersive ride when you’re cruising at full tilt.
Bug Fixes That Matter
Several stability and interaction issues have been addressed:
- Puzzle Orbs can no longer be picked up while crouching (fixing animation glitches)
- Acacia Gum and Reishi Mushrooms now attach correctly to trees
- Collision fixes on multiple island platforms and assets
- A floating platform from Fallen Heights no longer shows wrong materials at distance
- Emberstone Oculus now plays its VFX and SFX even when player momentum is maxed out
“Fixed an issue where the Emberstone Oculus did not play its VFX + SFX if the player momentum was maxed out.”
This last fix is a game-changer for speedrunners and anyone pushing the limits of flight—no more silent runs when you’re going full throttle.
While 0.3.5.17 isn’t a content bomb, it’s a welcome stability patch that shows the devs are listening to player feedback on audio clarity and world interaction. Aloft continues to polish its wings, and that’s a good sign for the journey ahead.
