Warframe hotfix 38.5.5 patch notes: Auto-Disband back in, easier Temple beats

With the latest hotfix, Warframe brings back Auto-Disband, which was removed earlier this week due to a common bug. Essentially, the feature would permanently limit you to the end-of-mission screen, so you could not load back into the orbiter or last hub space. This did not cause your progress or items to be lost but would require a force-exit and restart to fix, which is quite inconvenient.

The developers have patched the Auto-Disband feature up but will monitor it further to see whether it acts up again. The issue with it is that it should have always been a toggle, as auto-disbanding negates the social aspect of public matchmaking completely.

The other notable change is a spawn condition fix to Stage Defense scaldra mobs. After hotfix 38.5.5, players should no longer have to travel half a mile to get rid of one rogue unit that spawned far away from the stage.

Without further ado, here are the full patch notes for Warframe hotfix 38.5.5.

As previously mentioned, the Auto-Disband quality-of-life Warframe feature from the Techrot Encore update is back in. The developers are hopeful that it's fixed, saying:

"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."
