Clarification on The Hex [SPOILER] Quest (a spoiler free PSA): https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1425876-clarification-on-the-hex-spoiler-quest-a-spoiler-free-psa/

 

PlayStation Specific Notes: 

• Fixes towards UI elements in Caliber Chicks 2 lingering on screen after they appear. As you continued to play this would progressively get worse and unplayable since you can’t see anything. Anna Ki was somewhere laughing manically over this. 
• Fixed intermittent connection problems on PS4 and PS5. 
   

The Hex Quest Changes & Fixes (written SUPER vague to avoid spoilers):

• Fixed getting kicked out of the Quest each time you play a stage where you use weapons you do not own (ex: AX-52, Vesper 77, etc.) 
• Fixed being unable to progress in Quest after moving backwards during a specific sequence.
• Improved the waypointing and flow of a section of the quest to make it clearer how you can progress. 
• Fixed being unable to complete the quick time event in the Quest if you had your mouse wheel bound to Melee attack and the "Repeated Button Presses" option set to "Hold". 
• Fixed being able to ride the Atomicycle into restricted areas and causing issues with cinematics. 
• Fixed getting downed in certain portions of the Quest not allowing the next objective to trigger. 
• Fixed being able to quick travel to your Arsenal in certain segments of the Quest where it should be disabled.
• Added a sheen/glow to a destructible barrier in the Quest to indicate that you have to attack it in order to progress. 
• Made several SFX updates & fixes throughout the Quest. 
• Fixed Eleanor’s hair clipping in certain portions of the Quest. 
• Fixed performance issues caused by fire VFX during certain end of Quest moments. 
• Fixed Companions appearing during cut scenes where they shouldn’t be. 
• Fixed several script errors throughout the Quest. 
• Fixed some lighting and depth of field issues in one of the tiles in the Quest. 
• Fixed a context action appearing during a cinematic. 
• Improved texture streaming for certain Quest stages. 
• Fixed some lighting issues in certain Quest cutscenes.
• Fixed Dragon Keys being enabled during the Quest.

Changes:

Optimizations: 

• Optimized the Kuva Lich/Sisters of Parvos name generator tech. 

Steel Path Höllvania Fix:

• Fixed players being unable to earn Steel Path trophies for Höllvania missions.
  • With this fix, in order to properly unlock the Höllvania Steel Path nodes to get your trophy please proceed with the following:
    • 1: complete all 1999 nodes on normal difficulty -- you're now officially qualified to make progress on the Steel Path versions! 
    • 2: complete all those 1999 nodes again on Steel Path difficulty -- you get a trophy!
  • A full breakdown can be found here: 

Fixes:

  • This was causing a halt in quest progress, you’d load into the mission and nothing would occur. We encourage you to hop back in to continue the story!
    • Also fixed players not seeing the doors to the Necralisk open in the first stage of the Quest, leading them to think they can’t progress through.

• Fixed Rathuum and Index enemies not benefitting from boosted Mod Drop Chance (Steel Path modifier, Boosters.)
• Fixed Clients crashing after Host uses the context action (while in Last Gasp) to take down the H-09 Efervon Tank in the Assassination mission.  
  • In order to fix this issue, the Host will now be pulled out of Lasp Gasp and back into their Warframe prior to the cutscene occurring.
