Warframe – Heart of Deimos: Prime Vault: 29.2.2 Patch Notes

Heart of Deimos: 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!

Optimizations:

• Made numerous micro-optimizations to scene rendering.
• Optimized Local Reflections.
• Optimized Foliage Rendering in the Enhanced Graphics Engine.
• Optimized Visibility Culling speed and memory footprint slightly.
• Optimized initial install size slightly.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to the animation system.
• Made a micro-optimization to the Foot IK system.
• Made a micro-optimization to HUD rendering.
• Minor quality improvements for hair rendering.

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.

• Removed ability to open the Helminth screen by fast-traveling using Operator mode, this led to issues with your Warframe becoming invisible.
• Updated Ivara's Quiver, Vauban's Minelayer, Xaku's The Lost, and Titania's Tribute ability descriptions to list the sub-abilities and a brief general description of what they do. Tips related to these sub-abilities for each Warframe have also been edited for accuracy as a result.
• Updated Zephyr’s Airburst ability description to include the tap-and-hold mechanic.

Helminth Fixes:

• Fixed enemies becoming permanently ragdolled after casting Nezha’s Divine Spears into a Larva via Helminth Subsumed ability.
• Fixed Helminth Infused ability functionality issues when casting Wisp’s Sol Gate.
• Fixed missing UI indication on Quiver Cloak Arrow's duration remaining via Helminth Subsumed.
• Fixed Nidus’ abilities HUD having greyed out icons for Helminth Infused abilities.

Fixes:

• Fixed the Warframe launcher breaking uninstall when using standalone-installer.
• Fixed inability to Swap a Polarization.
  • This was Hotdropped live last week!
• More fixes towards a crash that could occur in a Survival mission when choosing to return to the Orbiter.
• Fixed Isolation Vault Bounty Bait and objective markers remaining after the Bounty is abandoned.
• Fixed cases of the Upgrade screen showing negative stats after applying Forma to a weapon.
  • We found this isn't super useful and forces you to exit the Upgrades screen if you want it to show the actual effects of the Mods installed afterwards.
• Fixed Profile ‘Kills’ and ‘Time Played’ Stats being influenced by the Simulacrum.
  • Simulacrum is a testing ground!
• Fixed left trigger no longer opening Chat with controller after you save controller bindings once. As reported here!
• Fixed the Infested Salvage End of Mission Reward screen UI stating 50 Endo instead of 300 Endo.
  • This is a visual issue only, the correct amount of Endo was awarded.
• Fixed missing Blueprint locations for the Zymos and Keratinos when viewing in the Market.
• Fixed the Daedalus Leg Armour appearing small when equipped on the Hydroid Rakkam Skin.
• Fixed sometimes facing the wrong direction when loading into the Simulacrum Arsenal.
• Fixed cases of Simaris appearing white instead of orange when entering Sanctuary Onslaught.
• Fixed Quatz reload and Plinx charge reload audio issues when a Skin is equipped.
• Fixed Oscira Sugatra offset on numerous Melee weapons.
• Fixed collision issues with the Oscira Thrown Blade Skin when exiting the Simulacrum Arsenal.
• Fixed Gauss Graxx Helmet flames always being orange instead of reacting to the chosen Energy Color as the rest of the Redline ability does.
• Fixes towards cloth collision on the Mirage Kitsune Helmet.
• Fixed Dendrite Gunblade Skin using the wrong Sugatra attachment point.
