Astral Ascent Patch 2.4.0 Adds Crash Recovery and Companion DLC
Astral Ascent version 2.4.0 introduces automatic room restarts on crash, new paid companion pets, and balance updates for economy items.
Hibernian Workshop released version 2.4.0 for Astral Ascent, adding community-inspired quality of life changes, paid companion DLC, and targeted balance tweaks.
Quality of Life and Systems
The save and quit feature now automatically resumes a run at the start of a room if the game experiences a crash. A new map element places small directional signs pointing toward easy-to-miss branching paths introduced in previous updates. Players can also find Echoes of their hero during runs to access all build Echoes.
Economy and Balance Changes
The Sun Pieces multiplier limit now scales from x3 up to x10 depending on Destiny Levels. The Cosmic Greed Telescope bonus grants two rewards in the Sun Room instead of one during co-op sessions. Several telescope and echo interactions received bug fixes, including corrected discount and price calculations affected by Destiny Malus Inflation at Andromeda's Bar.
Bug Fixes
The patch resolves an issue where Player 2's Kiran Comet! spell failed to cast. It also stops the Telluric Ruins reset sound effects from playing twice, prevents the Pendulum Telescope from breaking the first cast of a spell, and stops flying enemies from spawning inside map walls.
Paid Additions
A new Companion Pets charity DLC adds five pets, each featuring eight color options and 12 customization effects. These pets accompany players through runs, celebrate victories, and dig up hidden treasures.
Why this patch matters
Version 2.4.0 improves crash stability, cleans up long-standing item calculation errors, and gives solo and co-op players better tools to navigate runs.
