Warframe hotfix 37.0.2 patch notes: Conservation improvements, Shrine Defense node fixes, and more

Warframe 37.0.2 hotfix, the second patch of the mainline update 37, went live today (October 4, 2024). The mainline update (Koumei and the Five Fates) in general added a lot of new stuff as well as balance passes - Augment mods, Companion rework 2.0, Warframe reworks, and never to forget a new mission type. Naturally, some new bugs have appeared in the first week, which these first hotfixes will attempt to iron out.

Without further ado, here are the full patch notes for Warframe 37.0.2 hotfix.

Top fixes:

Fixed matchmaking issues when attempting to start a Steel Path Shrine Defense mission from the Star Chart “Saya’s Visions” node.
Due to the number of people playing on the node, the matchmaking requests were likely to time out with people filling open slots in the squads before you. This would cause the “Unable to join” popup to occur on most attempts to start the mission.
Fixed Caliban’s Lethal Progeny summons’ Damage and Health Multipliers not scaling correctly.For example, with 200% Ability Strength their Damage Multiplier went from 2.5x to 4x instead of the intended 5x.
Fixed Koumei’s Omikuji Decrees not applying their bonuses when playing in Sanctuary Onslaught (base and Elite) missions.
Fixed Koumei’s Kumihimo threads not applying one of every Elemental Status Effect on a roll of triple sixes as intended.
Fixed Host migration causing Koumei’s Omikuji to infinitely grant Decrees.
Fixed Resourceful Retriever not applying to Mining, Conservation, or Fishing-specific rewards (Ore, Fish, Conservation Tags, etc).
Fixed common Conservation targets having extremely high spawn rate when called with an Echolure.
In combination with the weighting towards rare targets when using pheromones, the uncommon variants were almost impossible to find as a result. Now, they should appear more frequently when using an Echolure! (Roaming landscape spawn rates were unaffected).

Changes:

You can now access the Steel Path Saya’s Visions node from the Star Chart without having to complete a Steel Path Plains of Eidolon Bounty first.
We saw reports of players having the node locked on the Star Chart and at Koumei’s Shrine despite having both the Steel Path and normal mission unlocked. This was due to the not-so-obvious requirement to complete a PoE Steel Path Bounty to fully unlock the Steel Path. So we’ve removed that requirement to make the Shrine Defense mission much more easily accessible!
Removed the controller binding that applies a Legendary Core to a mod during Fusion to prevent players from accidentally selecting it.
Now, if you wish to apply a Legendary Core you can manually do so by moving the virtual cursor over the button and selecting. If you accidentally did this since the launch of Koumei & the Five Fates, you can submit a ticket to support.warframe.com.
Changed the Artax so that 20% of its Cold Damage does not combine with other Elemental Damage types.
This is so that it can always inflict Cold Status Effects no matter what other Mods are equipped.
Removed the custom sounds on the Masseter Prime’s regular swings to reduce audio fatigue. It’ll now only play on the final swing of combos.
Made occlusion and radius sound tweaks to Koumei’s Bunraku ability.
Made optimizations to the Koumei Engimono Decoration.
Made further tweaks to Koumei’s Bunraku loop volume and her footstep volume.

Nova changes & fixes:

Nova’s Molecular Prime Speed wave now grows at the same rate as its Slow wave.
The Koumei & the Five Fates update made the Speed version grow faster than the Slow (they both travel the same distance, Speed just got there quicker).
The thinking was that it would get to enemies quicker so that they could reach you faster for speedy destruction. It also added a visual difference between the Slow and Speed waves. However, the feedback described it as undesirable because a faster wave has a shorter life span and has a greater chance of missing enemies compared to the Slow wave. So players had to spam cast it far more, making it costly and not as efficient. So we’ve reverted that in this Hotfix and now both waves grow at the same rate.
Fixed Nova’s Passive description being incorrect – it had the Health and Energy orbs flipped for the Speed/Slow effects.
Now reads: “Enemies killed while slowed down have 15% to drop health orbs. Enemies killed while sped up have 15% to drop energy orbs.
Fixed script error with Nova’s Null Star in the Simulacrum.
Fixed script error with Nova’s Null Star projectile.
Fixed script error with Nova’s Molecular Prime dissolve.

Steam account binding fixes:

Fixed being unable to cancel out of the “Bind Existing/Create New” or “Pick a display name” Steam Binding screens.
There is now a “Cancel” button on these screens! We will also be adding it to the Privacy and TOS page in the near future, as we know this has been causing issues with accidental account creation. If you have unintentionally created a new account and need further assistance, please contact support.warframe.com.
Fixed certain players who do not have TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication enabled and are unable to sign into Steam bound accounts.

Fixes:

Fixed being able to apply an Umbra Forma to Beast Claw weapons.
Beast Companions cannot use Umbra Mods, so there is no need for the Umbra polarity. If you have done so and would like your Umbra Forma returned to your account, you can submit a ticket to support.warframe.com.
Fixed the Lyre-Worm’s Feast Blessing (invulnerable for 30 seconds) in Shrine Defense missions negating Wisp’s Motes buffs.
Fixed indefinitely stacking unintended amount of Health from a combination of the Strain Consume mod and any of the following: Helminth Charger, Nidus Maggots, and Pathocyst.
Fixed equipping certain Sigils (notably the Cephalon Simaris Sigil) making the Ostarus Headgear and Maru Obi Syandana appear as a solid color.
Fixed the Fusion UI not updating Credit cost if you do not have enough Endo to rank up Mod.
Fixed cloth on the Kaminari Ephemera not connecting with the rest of the mesh.
Fixed certain tint colors (most notably on metal textures) appearing incorrect in the Orbiter.
We are keeping an eye on other reports potentially relating to the GI Lighting changes in the Orbiter that went out with Koumei & the Five Fates.
Fixed being unable to start a Quest replay from the Codex.
Fixed cursor not snapping to the top slot of the Gear/Quick Access Wheels when opened using a keyboard and mouse.
Fixed multiple issues with Focus Schools not being selected correctly after swapping Loadouts in the Star Chart UI.
Fixed some Arsenal legibility issues when HDR enabled.
Fixed the “None of your Mods are compatible with this weapon” error occurring when entering the Upgrade screen after putting all your Mods on a weapon.
Fixed mod inventory scrolling back to the start of the list in the Upgrade screen after trying to switch the position of two mods within it.
Fixed the Ninurta Claw Skin losing its blade when changing colors.
Fixed issue where Beast Weapons would appear in the Arsenal as a blank tab.
Fixed the Heurodis Decoration having collision – not very ghostly of them now is it?
This may have also fixed some cases of not being able to move it once placed. Give it a try now, Tenno!
Fixed offset issues with Focus School Badges equipped on Volt’s Raijin Skin.
Fixed the description for the Life Steal buff in Shrine Defense mission appearing as a file path.
Fixed Extraction timer appearing in Shrine Defense missions when playing with a Squad.
Fixed multiple Beast/Claw weapon mods having incorrect icons.
Fixed a PH tag appearing in the warning notice when attempting to duplicate Configs that don’t support the same Helminth ability.
Fixed the Community Chroma Glyph’s description appearing as a file path.
