Floating high above the clouds in Aloft just got a whole lot smoother, as the latest 0.3.5.18 patch swoops in to fix a host of glider-related frustrations, audio hiccups, and a few irritating bugs that could send your progress plummeting into the void.
A Smoother Flight and Sweeter Sounds
The headline fix here is for pilots who’ve noticed their glider fabric clipping through the frame. The 3D model has been adjusted so your wings look properly attached, not like they’re about to tear off. Audio also gets a welcome polish:
- New sound effects and ambience for picking up and standing near Moonblooms
- Adjusted volume for the Glider Trial music and Moonbloom Oculus SFX
- Tweaked volume and distance for moveable rock walls and glider turn sounds
These changes make the skies feel more immersive—no more jarring volume spikes when you bank sharply or harvest a glowing bloom.
Critical Fixes for Save Data and the Void
Some of the most crucial updates address progress loss and frustrating load-in issues:
- Fixed a bug where loading the game on another device could fail to sync character cloud saves, potentially wiping your hard-earned progress
- Increased the maximum loading screen time to prevent players from spawning before an island is ready, which could cause a fall into the void
- Fixed a multiplayer host bug requiring double-pressing the dismantle button for construction pieces
- Resolved crashed gliders appearing under terrain (only on undiscovered islands)
- Prevented two Crashed Gliders spawning too close together from offering the same Glider Pattern reward
For players, this means fewer headaches when switching devices or hosting a session, and no more duplicate patterns from wrecked wings. The 0.3.5.18 patch is a solid quality-of-life update that shows the developers are listening to community feedback—especially on those cloud save scares. If you’ve been holding off on exploring new islands, now’s the time to take flight again.
