Warframe continuous to improve even after seven long years. Warframe received another update that readies up the game for next-gen. You can learn more about that over here. The hotfix 29.2.2 update was released yesterday and it improves Warframe's optimization. Several aspects of the graphics engine have been worked on to improve performance. The complete changelog is mentioned below and on the official site.
Warframe Heart of Deimos: Hotfix: 29.2.2 Patch Notes
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 three 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.
