Hello, Tenno!

In the past we have seen requests that we provide a list of software which we do and do not allow to run in conjunction with Warframe. While it is understood that some software is good and others are inherently bad or designed to assist in cheating, there are some cases where software may fall into a gray area.

The reason for this post is to have an updated reference about our policy on external, third-party software - along with the potential pitfalls of suching such software in conjunction with Warframe.

The simple, golden rule is this:
If you use external software in conjunction with Warframe, you do so at your own risk.

While we could technically issue blanket bans on everything which alters the game files, the fact is some software is helpful and useful for members of our community. This is where context is very important. The difficulty here is that it is incredibly difficult f...

Hello Tenno!

As you may have seen in Devstream #176, we are looking at ways to change Mirage’s Eclipse ability (and related Helminth ability). To briefly recap the Devstream, we see consistent functionality issues with Eclipse in various in-game environments, as well as situations where Eclipse is unreliable.

First, Eclipse does not function correctly in every area of the game. In Open Zone content, it always acts as though it is in maximum light, even when it is nighttime. In Albrecht’s Laboratories, it always acts as though it is night, preventing Tenno from using the light portion of the ability. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Whispers in the Walls: Hotfix #10

Changes: 

• Continued updates to the sounds in the Awakening Quest’s Warframe select screen. 

Cross Platform Save Fixes: 

• Fixed case where a merged account could be a member in two different Clans. 
  • This was caused by merging a Console account in a Clan with a PC account that has a pending Clan request that was accepted after the merging. Affected accounts have been returned to the Clan they were in on their Console account prior to the merge. 

Fixes: 

• Fixed Clients experiencing performance issues when using the Astral Bond Mod on their Sentinel. 
• Fixed Sentinel customizations purchased from the Arsenal not equipping onto the Sentinel and causing the customization UI to disappear from the screen. 
• Fi...

NSW Whispers in the Walls: Hotfix #7

Hello Tenno and Happy New Year! This Hotfix includes back-end fixes and improvements towards Cross Platform Save that are needed before we re-open the gates again this January. Dates to come - stay tuned! 

Today’s Hotfix also includes some fixes for Switch (listed below) that required us to send to Cert (Warframe Lexicon for Updates). What this means is that this...

Hello Tenno!

Here with a quick PSA to keep you informed that we are upgrading some of our servers today, doubling the existing RAM in 3 of our servers up to 768GB!

We do not expect any impact to your gameplay and are monitoring to ensure a smooth upgrade.

Thanks!

Whispers in the Walls: Hotfix #5

Topaz Archon Shard Fixes:

• Fixed Topaz Archon Shard traits applying the buffs every 5 kills instead of every kill where described.

• Fixed the Shield regen buff provided by a Topaz Archon Shard not functioning. 

  • You will not get the Shield regen buff when a Blast damage is applied.

• Fixed the Secondary Critical Chance buff provided by the Topaz Archon Shard not functioning.

Fixes:

• Fixed various Abilities not respecting Boss immunity status on all Octopede bosses.

  • Octopede bosses are now more in...

Nintendo Switch Specific Notes: 

• Changed the Grimoire’s Alt Fire projectile to prevent frequent crashing for our Nintendo Switch Users. This is a temporary change until the Code fix can be shipped in our next Cert build.
  • This alt fire projectile no longer applies chaining electricity damage, which greatly reduces the overall damage output of this weapon. While this functionality has changed, the explosion still functions with Tome Mods. We understand that this is not an ideal situation, but due to the prevalence of the crashing, this temporary workaround was needed until the permanent fix comes in our next Cert build. Rest assured, we’ll be reverting this change once that build ships!
  • For more information about Code Fixes and Cert, check out our ...

Hello Tenno!

A quick heads-up to inform you of potential server or web connection blips that may occur due to outside source maintenance scheduled for Sunday, December 3, from 1 AM to 6 AM Eastern Time.

We don’t expect any disturbances to your gameplay, but we’re taking preemptive measures to prepare for any potential downtime and will monitor during that window.

Thanks!

NSW Abyss of Dagath: Hotfix #8

Plague Star Changes & Fixes: 

• Updated the Eidolon Phylaxis and Infested Catalyst descriptions to inform players on where they can be acquired when Chatlinked. 
  • Eidolon Phylaxis: Nakak's Operational Supply in Cetus
  • Infested Catalyst: Bio Lab in Clan Dojo
• Fixed Infested not spawning in Stage 4 of Plague Star Bounties following a host migration. 
• Fixed cases of slow Infested spawns around the Boil in Stage 4 of Plague Star due to enemies elsewhere on the Plains contributing to the spawn cap. 
• Improved Drone pathing during Stage 3 of Plague Star, hopefully reducing cases of the Drone becoming stuck.  
• Improved waypoint pathing inside a Plains of Eidolon cave. 
• Fixed the Plague Star Drone being unable to move in certain cases when going through Nova’s Wormho...

Hey folks!

We're having difficulty reproducing this issue. In order for us to gain the crash logs and fully understand what's happening, can you provide us the Date, Time, and Timezone you are in during these crashes? If you don't know, please note that information the next time you experience this crash. This information will let us track down your crash log, so we can see exactly what's happening during the crash.

If I experienced the crash right now, I would say:

Thank you!

NSW Abyss of Dagath: Hotfix #5

Changes:

• Enemies affected by the Slash proc from Voruna’s Ulfrun’s Descent attacks and then killed by it will now trigger the Health Orb drop chance from her Lycath’s Hunt ability.
• Changed Astral Bond to increase your Companion's attack damage and grant a smaller amount of Void Damage. The intention is to have the Mod be more well-rounded for combat instances where Void damage wouldn’t necessarily be required. The intention is to have the Mod more well-rounded for all combat where Void damage wouldn’t necessarily be the focus. In cases where it would be (Eidolon Hunts), the idea is to maintain Operator/Drifter as the primary active means of stripping away their damage resistances.
  • Was: Damage dealt by Operator or Drifter grants 120% Void Damage to your Companion’s attacks for 10s. Companion Void Damage adds +30% Amp and Ene...

NSW Abyss of Dagath: Hotfix #3

Steel Path Endless Fissures: 
We have disabled Steel Path Fissure missions for Endless mission types (Survival, Defense, Interception, Disruption, and Excavation) due to an exploit. Our goal is to identify a fix for early next week, but in the meantime we have removed those missions from the Steel Path Fissure pool to prevent unintended behavior. 

Steel Path Fissures will still be available in the Star Chart, just for non-Endless missions only. 

KNOWN ISSUE: Riven Challenges Resetting 
We’re aware of an issue where Riven Challenges with a reset trigger are requiring players to maintain the challenge condition until the end of the mission, even after challenge completion. For example, with “Get X Kills In A Row While Wall Latching”, players would have their completed challenge reset the moment they touched the floor. 

At the...

Hi Tenno!

This sounds like it may be an issue with an SD Card. Can you try troubleshooting your SD card (if you are using one)?

Here are Nintendo's Troubleshooting suggestions:

Quote

Check the following.
• Is the SD card inserted correctly?
　Turn the power off and re-insert the SD card.
• Is the SD card terminal part contaminated?
　If it is contaminated, wipe it of with a soft, dry cloth such as a glasses cleaning cloth. Wipe gently so as not to damage the terminals.
• Consider formatting the SD card.
　From the HOME Menu, select Settings > System > Formatting Options > Format microSD Card to format the SD card.
　If you format the SD card, all of the saved data on it is deleted. As needed, move screenshots and video data to the system memory or a PC in advance.
　The save data is saved in the system memory instead of on the SD card.

There's no native DInput support AFAIK, you need to emulate XINput, whether it's through Steam input or external programs like DS4Windows, DSX, etc.

We actually added that with Abyss of Dagath!

I'm not, i have never downloaded any of those programs since all Pc games i have ever played are from steam, and so far Warframe is the only game that has given me so many issues.

In fact, as of this moment i have steam/input disabled and the game doesn't register the controller.

Can you try following these instructions from the patch notes, and see if it works?

DUALSHOCK 4 AND DUALSENSE CONTROLLER SUPPORT FOR ...

NSW Abyss of Dagath: Hotfix #1

Changes:

• Removed broken Public Matchmaking functionality from The Steel Path Abyssal Zone mission. The functionality was not intended and resulted in Steel Path players matchmaking with normal mission squads. Abyssal Zone is intended to function like the old Void Key “keyshare” system, where an Abyssal Beacon requires a premade squad and the Host gets their Beacon consumed. 
• Increased sorting priority of Vainthorn so that it appears closer to the top of the End of Mission screen. 
• Updated Naramon’s abilities with the new game audio mix remaster that was released with Abyss of Dagath. 

Missed Note From Abyss of Dagath: 

• Updated our Damage Number system to add an exclamation point (!) for every Crit Tier above Super Crits, up to 3 total. Now you'll really be able to tell when you're d...

Hi! Are you using any external programs to map your controller? If you are, try closing those programs. With Steam Input off, your controller should work outright without any external programs.

Hello! You can find the details on the graphics changes in our PSA about the Enhanced Graphics Engine here:

Hello! That is not available yet, but is planned for the near future! Here's our statement from the Patch Notes:
