Patch History

Update 29.10

• Added a ‘Self Shawzin Volume’ slider in the Audio options.
• Added VRAM display to in-game FPS panel.

Hotfix 29.6.4

• ‘Invert Tap/Hold Abilities’ option now lets you control the setting for each valid Warframe.
• Numerous Warframes Abilities new and old have been given the ‘Tap/Hold’ functionality to do varying actions. Feedback showed that having the option to Invert the ‘Tap/Hold’ across the board to all valid Warframes was not ideal, as some Ability default functionalities are preferred. Upon selecting the ‘Invert Tap/Hold Abilities’ in the Options menu, you'll be met with a new screen allowing you to pick and choose which valid Warframes this applies to!

Hotfix 29.5.7

• Fixed Speech volume slider not resetting to 100 when default is pressed if the Transmission Volume slider is at 100.

Hotfix 29.5.6

• The 'Hint Transmission' audio toggle now applies to Glass Fissure Transmissions.

Hotfix 29.5.4

• Nora's volume slider will now also affect the transmission in / out sound.

Update 29.5

SOUND ADDITIONS & CHANGES

NEW Advanced Reverb:

Advanced Reverb is here in what we are calling its 'Beta' launch! This is an entirely new reverb system that uses a Convolution (Impulse Response) method. What this means is that instead of using an algorithmic (Legacy) reverb for the game, we are able to use real-life spaces instead. We can feed the reverb system a recording of a real reverberant space and it will combine it with the game's sounds. So you will get a more realistic, vibrant, and deep listening experience. We've been busy adjusting the reverb setups across all tiles. So you can now experience this change across the entire game!

We also adjusted how the blending of the reverb works. When you traverse from different areas we need to blend the reverbs (think of a small space to a larger one). We used to do this based on your distance but now we calculate this based on time. This will give you a more accurate feeling of transition.

‘Advanced Reverb’ is turned on by default, you can switch back to ‘Legacy Reverb’ in the Audio Options if you desire.

General Audio Additions and Changes:

• Added two brand new music pieces in Deimos! Time to start choreographing your Infestation hacking and slashing.
• Added separate control in Audio Options for YOUR Mandachord volume.
  • Players have asked for this for a while and now you can control your own Mandachord volume in the game instead of having to adjust the main Sound Effects audio slider. This also includes Subsumed Octavia Resonator.
• Music in all cinematics now respects the Music volume slider in Audio Options.
• Dojo music levels are now adjustable using the “Music Volume” slider under the Audio options.
• All of the Helminth ability sounds have been updated with new custom FX!
  • When the Helminth was released we used existing sound FX in the game as placeholders. Now, Helminth abilities (such as Empower, Master’s Summons, etc.) have their own unique sound to make them stand out from the rest!
• There is now a ‘Nora Night’ audio slider in your Options that you can use to Mute Nora’s in-game transmissions.

GENERAL ADDITIONS

• Added “Reduce Teammate Visual Effects” toggle in the Display Options. Enabling this will reduce their ability and some weapon FX.

Hotfix 29.2.4

• Increased default analog stick deadzones values to 20%. The value was previously 15% only for look/aim inputs, but then was changed to 15% for all analog stick inputs, but this introduced some drift for certain players.

Hotfix 29.2.3

• Added a game setting to use the legacy deadzone remapping when controlling look/aim input using the controller analog sticks.
• Changed the deadzone settings to go up and down by 1 instead of 5 when pressing the arrows.

Hotfix 29.2.2

Enhanced Graphics Engine

Last week we included a ‘Missed Change Note’ that the ‘Deferred Rendering’ Display Option was renamed to ‘Graphics Engine’. While this is true at a base level, it’s actually more exciting than that, as it involves moving into “Next Gen’ by phasing out our old rendering engine!

Please read the full details here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1229889-the-enhanced-graphics-engine/

Optimizations

• Made numerous micro-optimizations to scene rendering.
• Optimized Local Reflections.
• Optimized Foliage Rendering in the Enhanced Graphics Engine.

Changes

• Added game settings for tweaking deadzone values and other input behaviour for controller analog sticks. Each analog stick now has 3 settings as outlined on https://www.warframe.com/gamepad. This should improve the accuracy for movement controls in particular, which previously used a square deadzone, resulting in inconsistent mapping for diagonal inputs.

Hotfix 29.2.1

• The ‘Deferred Rendering’ Display option has been retitled to ‘Graphics Engine’.

Hotfix 28.2.1

• Fixed a crash that could occur due to shadows with Deferred Rendering enabled.

Update 28.1

• Added a strength slider to the Color Blind Compensation filters.
• Fixed setting the ‘Master Volume’ slider between 1-4 resulting in no volume.

Hotfix 28.0.7

• Tweaks to improve distinction between very saturated colors when Color Blind Compensation is enabled.
  • It’s worth noting here that our Color Blind Compensation approach is far from perfect and feedback will vary accordingly. We will continue to investigate larger scope accessibility issues!

Hotfix 28.0.6

Color Blind Compensation

Under the Display Options tab, you’ll find a ‘Color Blind Compensation’ option that modifies game and interface colors to increase visibility for common forms of color blindness.

This setting will allow you to pick between the following options:

• Protanopia: A setting for people with Protanopia, who have a reduced sensitivity to red lights.
• Deuteranopia: A setting for people with Deuteranopia, who have a reduced sensitivity to green lights.
• Tritanopia: A setting for people with Tritanopia, who have a reduced sensitivity to blue lights.

Please let us know of any issues or feedback you may have:
https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1202836-the-deadlock-protocol-color-blind-compensation-megathread-2806/

Changes

• (Undocumented) Adaptive Exposure option removed as per https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1203051-psa-brightness-changes-in-hotfix-2806/

Update 28.0

General UI Additions & Changes:

• Introducing a new Deadlock UI Theme that goes hand-in-hand with the industrious origins of the Corpus.
• You can now change your Mouse Cursor Icon, Mouse Cursor Color, and scale your Cursor in size!
• Added two new cursor sliders under the Interface tab in your Options to give you more ways to customize and improve how you navigate the UI with a controller to your liking:
  • UI Cursor Acceleration: Adjust the rate the cursor accelerates when moving in a continuous direction can be changed.
    • The Sensitivity Option still determines the overall speed of the cursor, while Acceleration gives players the freedom to set how quickly they’d like to get from point A to B.
  • UI Cursor Magnetism: Adjust the level of “magnetism” (“stickiness”) there is between the cursor and interactive elements in the UI.
    • Before the update, the cursor was set to “stick” to items you pass over by default. It was sometimes helpful but often proved to be an annoyance that prevented you from having reasonable cursor speed on UI windows with many elements. Now, you are able to customize how the cursor “sticks” to these elements. Setting it to “0” simply means that there will be no friction whatsoever between the cursor and the UI elements.

Update 26.1

• (Undocumented) Removed Experimental Flight option.

Hotfix 26.0.5

Optimizations

We have added an option to enable a faster method for Warframe to send frames to Windows which should improve framerate for Borderless Fullscreen and Windowed display modes.

On a laptop with a GTX 1650 running at 720p, a view from the Vallis elevator rose the framerate from 199 to 215 FPS with this option; the gains might be even more significant when playing at high-resolution.

Look for this option under the Display settings panel (Note: it does require restarting the game after changing).

Unfortunately, this option is only available on Windows 10 and may require Windows updates to enable (the Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update in 2017 optimized out a frame of latency with this method).

Note that Native-Fullscreen and console platforms do not need this optimization because there’s no desktop window to composite the frame onto in those cases.

As a bonus this option should also improve our Dynamic Resolution optimizations when Vertical Sync is enabled because it allows us to get accurate GPU timings again; for more information on this see https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1040892-max-framerate/. We need testing and feedback, especially from Streamers and Content Creators, to ensure this option works with their software (since they intercept the frame we send to Windows and this option changes that process). Ideally after some broader testing we can enable it by default and everyone can benefit.

Update 26.0

• The Options screen, Ayatan Treasures screen, and Dojo Room Options UI have received a fresh new look!

Update 25.7

Custom UI

• A new ‘Dark Lotus’ UI Theme and Background has been added! You can find it under Interface > UI Customization.

Fixes

• Fixed issue with being unable to swap back to Primary Weapon if the “Auto-Swap on Empty” option is enabled and the weapon runs out of ammo.

Update 25.0

Custom UI

• Prove your Prodman respect with new Corpus UI Theme, Background, and Sound under Options > Interface > UI Customization!

Update 24.6

Creator Mode Setting Addition

We have added a new Option called "Creator Mode"! This exists to help players and Content Creators with a simple principle: no distractions, no spoilers. When this is toggled on:

• Fortuna Citizens won't reveal their secret.
• The Lotus will no longer be as purple.
• Operator transmissions will be voice only.
• Email on login screen will be all ********** like the password
• On-orbiter transmissions and in-mission bumpers for Invasions / Alerts will not appear.

Changes

• Changed High graphics setting to set Anisotropic Filtering to 16x instead of 8x. Added a faster 2x Anisotropic Filtering setting and removed the 16x option to save people from themselves.
• Updated Enable Hint Transmissions in the Audio Options menu. This setting will stop a lot of the more common and repetitive Transmissions from playing.

Hotfix 24.5.4

• Common Nora Night Transmissions can now be disabled with 'enable hint transmissions' in the Audio Options menu.

Hotfix 24.5.3

• Increased volume of Chat notification sounds.

Hotfix 24.4.2

Melee Phase 1: 'Flow' Changes

• Manual blocking/parry has been added when players wield only a Melee weapon in a mission (i.e NO Secondary or Primary equipped). This is possible because in this specific state, the keybindings are free to allow this manual blocking. We do not plan on adding it to any other state yet. The default keybind for this is RMB/Right Mouse Button (LT for controller), as it was in the past.

Controller Changes & Fixes

• Melee Channeling can no longer be rebound on Controller due to it completely breaking Melee 2.99997 changes. We apologize for the discomfort this may cause for those who have built their controllers comfortably around a different binding. You can't make an omelette without cracking some eggs!

Update 24.4

• HUD Damage Numbers and Affinity Numbers can now be separately toggled in the Interface Settings!
• Trigger Press Sensitivity: Adjusts the pressure required to fire/aim
• Trigger Release Sensitivity: Adjusts the pressure required to release fire/aim

Update 24.3

• Removed the Radio Chatter toggle trigger in the Orbiter and moved into the Settings > Audio.

Update 24.0

• Added the option to toggle a 'Grain' filter to all gameplay.

Update 23.0

NEW UI THEMES AND UI CHANGES!

Currently, we have exactly 131 screens in Warframe that need an artistic pass to the new style. 8 are done and ready to go - they're here today! Themes similar to above are coming for the screens we have completed, and all subsequent screens will inherit whatever UI theme you've chosen (default or other purchased themes).

We have also have 2 free Themes specifically tailored for our visually impaired and color blind Tenno: the “Equinox Theme” (B&W theme) and the “High Contrast Theme”! We’d love to get your feedback on them so that we can increase Warframe’s accessibility: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/967241-pc-update-23-visual-accessibility-ui-themes-and-general-ui-feedback-megathread/

To change your UI theme, go to your Interface Options and select “UI Customization”.

There you can also change your Background from the 3 available options:

• Equinox Background
• Legacy Background
• Vitruvian Background

You can also change the UI sounds from the “Legacy” and “Vitruvian” options.
