The launch of Heart of Deimos has gone pretty well. Players on all the various platforms are enjoying the new content, but it’s not without its issues. Though there are lots of new recipes to craft, Bounties to claim, and enemies to slay, the game has had some bugs around.
The 1.90 update is live in Warframe, bringing bug fixes, changes to scripting and other optimizations to the table. These fixes had already been deployed to the PC version for the most part. And because console certification takes a while, PS4 users are finally getting their hands on the new content this month. The vast majority of additions in this patch are bug fixes. Consoles are just as prone to bugs and crashes as PC games, so it’s nice to see Warframe on PS4 getting serious attention.
Check out the full patch notes for Warframe Update 29.0.6 down below.
