Techrot Encore: Hotfix 38.5.5

Changes:

• Re-enabled Auto-Disband for publicly matchmade squads.
  • We disabled this mechanic in the last Hotfix as it was causing players to get stuck on the End of Mission screen and have to forcibly exit the game. Our hope is that this issue was fixed. We'll be closely monitoring reports and will disable this mechanic again if it is causing further issues.
  • Also fixed Archon Hunt squads being disbanded after each mission, instead of staying together until the third mission is complete as intended.
• Pheroglands now have a unique waypoint in Legacyte Harvest missions.
  • These waypoints will appear for players within 25m as a way of highlighting this speed-up mechanic for Kalymos.
• Updated Coda Bassocyst's unique trait description to explain the buff earned from Mercy Kills.
  • Now reads: “Alternate Fire swarms enemies with mites, inflicting them with Impact and Magnetic Status Effects. If the targeted enemy is open to Mercy Kills perform a ranged finisher instead. Perform a Mercy Kill to gain +100% Damage and +100% Multishot.”
  • Also fixed Coda Bassocyst's Mercy Kill buff missing an icon and description in-mission.
• Disabled Ability use in the Legendary Rank 5 test as you don't need Abilities to hack.
  • This addresses players being able to use Perspicacity to auto-hack these consoles, which goes against the spirit of this test.
• Replaced a few more words in the Technocyte Coda name generator and made further refinements to the name generation system to avoid unfortunate name combinations.
• Increased the grace window of Temple's metronome SFX from 4 to 7 Backbeat beats.
  • Also slightly increased the volume of the metronome SFX.
• Increased the volume on SFX for the Techrot Cache and Techrot Cache key.
  • Also slightly increased the radius at which they can be heard.
• Various Technocyte Coda animation fixes and polish.
• Polished various Technocyte Coda SFX.
• Refined the SFX mix for Gemini Skin voice lines to avoid unintended fluctuations in enemy sounds.

Top Fixes:

• Fixed certain accounts being stuck replaying the same missions in The Hex Quest replays.
• Fixed not being able to swap the polarity on the Exilus Slot.
• Fixed cases of enemies spawning very far away in Stage Defense missions.
  • Now, enemies can only spawn in the defense objective tile.
• Fixed Melee Doughty's Critical Multiplier bonus cap being unintentionally lowered to 10x with the Gara's Shattered Lash changes.
  • It should be 50x once more!
• Fixed Equinox Prime literally losing her head when she has a Coda Cyst.
• Fixed being unable to select Lettie in a certain section of The Hex Quest.
• Fixed Stalker being able to invade Technocyte Coda Showdown missions, possibly resulting in progression stop.
  • Known issue: Stalker can still be summoned via a Stalker Beacon.
• Fixed being unable to add Aura mods to the "Skip These Mods" in the Quick Select screen in the Mods menu.
• Fixed Necramechs not spawning in Temporal Archimedea for Clients who equipped the Vintage Tech Peely Pix.

Baruuk Reactive Storm Fixes & Changes:

• Fixed Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment transforming all Melee damage into the enemy’s weakness type, instead of just the base Impact Damage.
• Removed a feature of Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment that tried to build towards the enemy faction weakness that you modded for.
  • The enemy weakness targeted will now be consistent regardless of Mods, prioritizing Combined Elemental Damage types, and never choosing a Physical Damage type.
  • This also fixes an issue where Impact Damage was always prioritized instead of Corrosive Damage when fighting Grineer and Scaldra.
• Fixed Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment combining base Elemental weaknesses with modded base Elements.

Fixes:

• Fixed cases of Teshin's element switching mechanic not having a tutorial pop-up in The New War if the player used the mechanic before they get to the relevant section in the mission.
• Fixed being able to get out of bounds in a certain part of Teshin's section in The New War quest.
• Fixed Gara’s Shattered Lash showing incorrect original Critical Multiplier when equipped with Arcane Melee Doughty.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Mixtapes spawning in Temporal Archimedea missions.
• Fixed being able to kill Technocyte Coda while they're still on-stage, causing some unintended complications.
• Fixed Umbral Mods' set bonuses not updating on-hover in the Upgrade Screen.
• Fixed Dojo Transporter text being difficult to read.
• Fixed the Heart-Beat Ephemera not retaining custom energy colors in Höllvania missions.
• Fixed various armor and holster offsets on the Gyre Vortengeist Skin.

• Fixed incorrect offset on the Riv Elite Leg Guard on Cyte-09.
• Fixed various offsets for the Endocitos Shoulder Armor.
• Fixed various offset issues with the Chymerist Drifter Suit.

• Fixed Gift of the Lotus Alert missions on Earth sometimes overlapping with the Cetus node in the Navigation Menu.
• Fixed a script error related to activating Null Star as a Railjack ability.
• Fixed a case of function loss when exiting the Arsenal.

Missed Note from Hotfix 38.5.4:

• Fixed out of memory crashes caused by the Ability Overload Risk Variable in Archimedea missions.

For list of known issues for Techrot Encore that require future code changes and cannot be addressed in a Hotfix, visit our dedicated thread: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1442494-known-issues-techrot-encore/

Changes:

• Temporarily removed the "Auto-Disband Public Matchmade Squads" feature as it was causing players to lose function when leaving missions.
  • More specifically this fixes players who returned from missions (Hollvania, Orbiter, etc) and experienced a loss of function, resulting in having to reboot the game.
  • We’ll revisit re-adding this feature in our next Cert build to ensure its return is stable.
• The Hell-Scrubber speed-up mechanic in Temporal Archimedea now only requires players to kill the marked Techrot Babau to decrease the mission timer.
  • Previously, these Techrot Babau would drop a "Hell-Scrubber Detonator" that players would need to bring to a Hell-Scrubber tower. This mechanic wasn't entirely clear to players, so we've simplified it to mirror the Rogue Necramech Eximus mechanic in Deep Archimedea.
• Increased the number of Backbeat beats that Temple's Metronome SFX will play for from 3 to 4.
  • This gives players a little more wiggle room to continue triggering the Metronome SFX when they're consistently casting Temple's abilities.
    • As a refresher, the SFX will play on the first successful Backbeat hit, and will continue to play until they have not cast an Ability on the Backbeat for 4 beats.
  • Our original patch note indicated it persisted for 5 beats — this was incorrect, oops!
• Further SFX polish for Temple's Abilities.
• Increased the volume on Temple's Metronome.

Top Fixes:

• Fixed Temple's passive not functioning correctly in Höllvania missions.
• Fixed host migration after 3 waves of Stage Defense causing the ground to not break properly, resulting in returning players possibly being progression stopped.
  • This fix also addressed similar issues with the Stöfler defense mission on Lua.
• Fixed a crash when attempting to remove an Incarnon Genesis at Cavalero.
• Fixed the Antivirus Bounty missing an Extraction Waypoint if it was an Exterminate mission with the Volatile Techrot bounty modifier.

Performance & Optimization:

• Fixed using a Gemini Emote with many appearance configs but none of them containing a Gemini Skin causing performance issues for Clients.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to core engine code.
• Fixed a small memory leak caused by the Leaping Thrasher's VFX.

Fixes:

• Fixed various Syandana offsets on the Chymerist Suit.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Duets being able to spawn behind the doors in the Höllvania loading tunnel.
• Fixed Legacyte having difficulty getting off the subway tracks in a new Höllvania tile. Nothing wrong with asking for uppies.
• Fixed being able to trade the Coda Bassocyst.
• Fixed being unable to purchase a pro-rated bundle if the player has placed all owned decorations available in that bundle.
• Fixed Mesa's Peacemakers not always being visible on her model in-mission.
• Fixed being unable to Chat Link the Lovestruck Ephemera.
• Fixed a script error related to Ash's Blade Storm.
• Fixed a script error when using Ash's Blade Storm in an Archimedea mission with the Fortified Foes Risk Variable.
• Fixed potential crashes that could occur on shutdown when running DirectX 11.

Techrot Encore: Hotfix 38.5.3

Temporal Archimedea Omni Forma Script:
With 38.5.2 we removed Omni Forma Blueprints from the Gold and Diamond Reward Pools in Temporal Achimedea. For players who received Omni Forma Blueprints from these reward pools prior to that hotfix, we’ve run a script to replace them with a fully built Omni Forma. This script was run earlier today (at around 10:30am ET), so you should see the proper item in your account!

Changes:

• Steel Path and Arbitrations now only require players to have completed the Star Chart up until The New War to unlock these mission types. As a result, we have removed the requirement to complete the following nodes:
  • Zariman Ten Zero missions (those unlocked by the Angels of the Zariman Quest)
  • Albrecht's Laboratories missions (those unlocked by the Whispers in the Walls Quest)
  • Höllvania missions (those unlocked by The Hex Quest)
• After a heart-to-heart with Kaya, her unintentional curse has been reinstituted with a Nova-minded version.
  • If we ever decide to drop an F-bomb in Warframe, it won't be by accident (unlike on our Devstreams).
• The Mission Tutorial Transmissions toggle now applies to transmissions in Deep Archimedea and Temporal Archimedea missions.
• Stage Defense Bounties will now indicate that Extraction is blocked if the bounty objective has not been met on the Leave/Continue screen.
  • Previously, Extraction was unavailable, but this restriction was not communicated to players, resulting in possible confusion as to why the Extract option was not working.
• Improved enemy pathing in the lower stage of Stage Defense missions.
  • Also updated the minimap in this lower stage to more accurately display the area accessible to the player.
• Increased Coda Sporothix's magazine size from 9 to 11.
• Refined Temple's Ability SFX for allies to reduce audio fatigue.
• Added metronome SFX to help players time their casts to Temple's Backbeat.
  • The Metronome SFX starts when you cast an Ability on the Backbeat and will play for 5 3 beats and turn off if you have stopped casting. We implemented it this way so Temple doesn’t have a metronome playing 100% of the time.
  • You can turn this off via the “Metronome Audio” setting in Temple's Abilities Menu.
• Improved SFX on Techrot Cache keys to make them easier to find.
• Crossfire missions now display the actual mission time in the Navigation screen.
  • Previously, the mission type was only revealed once selecting the node/Alert itself.

Exalted Weapon Changes & Fixes:

• Rauta's unique trait now gives combo to your Exalted Melee if it's your Active Melee Weapon.
• Melee Crescendo specific changes:
  • Ash's Bladestorm now benefits from Melee Crescendo!
  • Removed the ability to equip Melee Crescendo on Whipclaw, Shattered Lash, and Landslide Fists as they cannot perform Finishers.
  • Melee Crescendo now only increases the initial Combo of a weapon on Finishers performed with the weapon to which Crescendo is applied.
    • The only exception to this rule is Parazon Finishers which will count towards all weapons on which Melee Crescendo equipped.
  • Channelled Exalted Melee Weapons (ex: Exalted Blade) will still only be able to stack up Melee Crescendo while they are active. Melee Crescendo stacks will persist while the Exalted Weapon is inactive but new stacks can't be gained until it is Channelled once more.
• Ash’s Blade Storm:
  • Fixed Ash's Blade Storm sometimes not properly tracking already-dead enemies, resulting in function loss.
  • Fixed killing targets Marked by Ash's Blade Storm not properly refunding Energy.
  • Fixed Combat Discipline not triggering from Ash's Blade Storm kills.
  • Fixed Blade Storm's Ability Combo Counter not always appearing for Clients.
  • Fixed broken enemy perception if players used Transference while Ash's Teleport and Blade Storm are being cast.
• Baruuk’s Serene Storm:
  • Baruuk's Reactive Storm Augment will now prioritize Desert Wind's dominant damage type if it matches an enemy's weakness.
    • If there are no matches, it will now prioritize the Combined Elemental damage type (Viral, Corrosive, etc.)
  • Fixed Baruuk's Serene Storm waves not triggering Melee Influence.
• Mesa’s Peacemaker:
  • Fixed a very short delay after deactivating Mesa's Peacemaker that prevented player input.
  • Fixed Mesa not equipping your last-equipped weapon after disabling Peacemaker.
• Titania’s Diwata and Dex Pixia:
  • Re-enabled Exilus Slot on Titania's Diwata to allow players to use Parry or Block Mods.
  • Fixed Ratka Dark Dagger's unique trait triggering when swapping between Titania's Dex Pixia and Diwata while in Razonwing.
• Gara’s Shattered Lash:
  • Fixed Melee Doughty not applying to Shattered Lash in-mission.
  • Fixed Melee Doughty applying to the Arc version of the attack in the Simulacrum, despite it having no Puncture status.
    • Now this Arcane works as one would expect, only applying the increased Critical Damage when using the pure Puncture version of the attack.
    • Also fixed Melee Doughty appearing to affect the Critical Multiplier of the Arcing Damage in the Update Screen.
      • This was mostly UI only, as it only applied in Simualcrum missions.
  • Added safeguards to prevent the ability erroneously doing negative damage.

Technocyte Coda Changes & Fixes:

• Adjusted Potency Mod drop rate to provide a more consistent drop rate in missions.
• Removed more words from Technocyte Coda name generation to avoid unfortunate word combinations.
• Polished various Technocyte Coda animations.
• Polished various SFX in the Technocyte Coda Showdown mission.
• Polished the Coda Weapon purchase screen.
• The Antivirus Bounty now appears at the top of the Bounty list to ensure players don't miss it.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda not progressing to Showdown once reaching 100% Virality.
  • We have run an account update that unlocks the Railjack Showdown mission if you were in this state.
• Fixed Traded Technocyte Codas not progressing properly.
  • We've re-enabled Technocyte Coda trading now that they're working as intended!
• Fixed enemies no longer spawning in a Technocyte Coda Showdown if two host migrations occur in the same session.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Showdown cinematic being broken for Clients.
• Fixed concrete thrown by Drillbit in Technocyte Coda Showdown not properly disappearing.
  • Also fixed floating concrete being thrown back at Drillbit if players so much as sneezed in its direction. We've increased the damage needed to trigger this mechanic to encourage players to intentionally target the projectile.
• Fixed missing UI when returning to a Technocyte Coda Showdown mission after a Host Migration in the first stage.
• Fixed collision issue on the speakers in the Technocyte Coda Showdown mission.
• Fixed [HC] in Technocyte Coda health bar when returning to a Showdown mission after a Host Migration.

• Fixed offset issues for Technocyte Coda names in the Technocyte Coda screen for clients using Asian languages.
• Fixed incorrect Antivirus Mod names on-hover in the Technocyte Coda menu.

• Fixed Temple's Ripper's Wail heat damage bonus applying to Abilities instead just to Primary, Secondary, and Melee Weapons.
• Fixed cases of Companions not using attack Precepts (ex: Sharpened Claws) when perfectly attackable enemies are nearby.
• Fixed Sharpened Claws not stripping Armor if it only damaged Overguard.
• Fixed Sharpened Claws causing Companions to target unalert enemies to avoid unintentionally ruining your stealth mission.
• Fixed several Beast Precepts that involve running up to any enemy to do a special attack (ex: Sharpened Claws, Crescent Charge) putting your Companion into a brief "brain off" state.

  • Known Issue: they’re still not visible in the Orbiter.
