Warframe Update 1.017 Patch Notes | Warframe Update Today Patch Notes:

PSN: Nora’s Mix Volume 1: Hotfix #1 

PS5 Connectivity Issues Fixed: 

We have implemented a temporary fix for PS5 players who have been experiencing connectivity issues since yesterday’s update mentioned in our two PSAs (First PSA and Follow Up PSA). This workaround will allow PS5 players to connect and play the game, but there will be matchmaking issues present when attempting to matchmake with PS4 players until a more permanent solution is fully implemented. PS5 players to PS5 players can matchmake just fine! 

As mentioned in our Nora’s Mix Volume 1 Delay & Next Steps PSA, we will be running a special Alert on all Platforms for 150x Nora’s Mix Vol.1 Creds. We will also have an inbox message for our PlayStation tenno with a 3-Day Affinity, Credit, and Resource Booster to make up for your lost Booster time. We will share start times for both once we have confirmed the fix is working and can securely run the alert and inbox.

Fixes: 

  • Fixed nasty crash related to Wisp’s Reservoirs.

PSN: Nora’s Mix Volume 1: Hotfix #2

As noted above in Hotfix #1, we’ve got a build with a more permanent solution for the matchmaking issues! Thank you for your patience!

Fixes:

  • Fixed inability to matchmake between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players.

Polyphony Boss Issues Apology to Gran Turismo 7 Due to On-Going Issues

  by   Alex Co  
11:15 am in News

Following yesterday’s patch for Gran Turismo 7, the game ran into errors when connecting online, which unfortunately, affected the single-player as well. While a new patch has been rolled out today, it seems to not have fixed the problem.

Polyphony Digital is well aware that this has annoyed gamers to no end. With that said, Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi has issued an apology to gamers regarding the situation.

I wanted to explain what happened in this update.

Immediately before the release of the 1.07 update, we discovered an issue where the game would not start properly in some cases on product versions for the PS4 and PS5.

This was a rare issue that was not seen during tests on the development hardware or the QA sessions prior to the release, but in order to prioritize the safety of the save data of the users, we decided to interrupt the release of the 1.07 update, and to make a 1.08 correctional update.

This is the reason for the delay.
My sincere apologies for the late report to everyone.

Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward.

In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions.
At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices.
I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again.

We will in time let you know the update plans for additional content, additional race events and additional features that will constructively resolve this.
It pains me that I can’t explain the details regarding this at this moment, but we plan on continuing to revise GT7 so that as many players as possible can enjoy the game.
We would really appreciate it if everyone could watch over the growth of Gran Turismo 7 from a somewhat longer term point of view.

Kazunori Yamauchi

Hopefully, the servers and issues are sorted soon, and racers can play moving forward.

Gran Turismo 7 Down This March 18 Even After Latest 1.08 Patch (Update)

  by   Alex Co  
10:00 am in News

With yesterday’s Gran Turismo 7 patch 1.07 rollout, Polyphony Digital released a bunch of improvements. Unfortunately, it also broke the game’s online component and since then, Gran Turismo 7 down reports have surfaced non-stop.

Today, Polyphony has released another patch, and it seems this hasnt fixed the issue, as servers are still offline.

Gran Turismo 7 Down for March 18 Status Report:

Update #2: Per the game’s community, things are back to normal! Enjoy the lap times, people!

Update: Polyphony boss Kazunori Yamauchi has issued a letter explaining the situation to GT7 players.

I wanted to explain what happened in this update.

Immediately before the release of the 1.07 update, we discovered an issue where the game would not start properly in some cases on product versions for the PS4 and PS5.

This was a rare issue that was not seen during tests on the development hardware or the QA sessions prior to the release, but in order to prioritize the safety of the save data of the users, we decided to interrupt the release of the 1.07 update, and to make a 1.08 correctional update.

Kazunori Yamauchi

Once we know more, we’ll update the post.

Multiple people on the game’s subreddit have chimed in that the game’s online component is STILL not fixed even after patch 1.08.

1.08 did nothing server still down
byu/handsomelloyd13 ingranturismo

1.08 did almost nothing but at least we can now do something.
byu/geovasilop ingranturismo

The bad thing here is: Gran Turismo 7 heavily relies on online connectivity — even if in its single-player modes, which was something we reported on before.

For now, Polyphony has not made any announcements. Once we know more we’ll be sure to update the post, so refresh it from time to time.

Our review of GT7 gave it a high score, but it didn’t account for the connectivity issues.

Elden Ring Update 1.003.001 Rolled Out This March 18

  by   Alex Co  
5:03 am in News

FromSoftware has rolled out the Elden Ring update 1.003.001 for all platforms (last-gen and next-gen), and it’s a small download. This will bring the game version to 1.03.1 for both client and servers (before it showed the server version as 1.03.0, and 1.03.1 for clients). Given the big 1.03 patch we got the other day, don’t expect anything major from this one outside of bug fixes.

Elden Ring Update 1.003.001 Patch Notes:

Size: 98MB (PlayStation), 14MB (Steam), 600MB (Xbox)

Update: According to update history on the PS4, this patch is to address some errors related to text. Should there be any additional changes spotted from the community, or any official update is provided by FromSoftware, we will be sure to update this post.

No official patch notes have been released by FromSoftware just yet, though we’re expecting this to fix the “question mark bug” on PC. Hopefully, other fixes involving multiplayer connectivity, stability to mitigate crashing on PC, and even trophy/achievements bugs are also touched upon.

Once the full patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to update the post. If you spot any gameplay-related or technical changes, leave a comment below to let us know.

Elden Ring Update 1.04 Sneaks Out This March 18

  by   Alex Co  
4:50 am in News

FromSoftware has released the Elden Ring update 1.04 patch, and this is following the big 1.03 title update that was released a few days ago. This is a small download, and we’re not expecting any new features, but rather, bug fixes that weren’t addressed in the previous title update. Read on for the Elden Ring March 18 patch notes.

Update (4/19/22): If you are looking for patch version 1.04 this April 19, head on over here for the patch notes.

Update: (3/23/22): For those looking for the latest title update released this March 23, here are the officail patch notes.

Elden Ring Update 1.04 Patch Notes | Elden Ring March 18 Patch Notes:

Size: 98MB (PlayStation), 14MB (Steam)

Update: According to update history on the PS4, this patch is to address some errors related to text. Should there be any additional changes spotted from the community, or any official update is provided by FromSoftware, we will be sure to update this post.

Original:

Unfortunately, FromSoftware has not addressed the new patch just yet, though we’re hoping this fixes the trophies/achievements issue, crashing problems on PC, multiplayer bugs and the like.

We’re assuming (hoping) that this fixes the question mark bug for PC gamers as well, so no workaround is required.

Once the full patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to update the post. If you spot any gameplay-related changes, leave a comment below to let us know.

B. JENET convinces him to join Team GAROU this KOF. （CV：Yuma Uchida）

GATO

This cold and calculated master-class fighter always strays away from the pack. He set out for vengeance after his mother died at the hands of his father. Though he wishes to go his own way, B. JENET was able to convince him to join the team as she has some info on his father’s whereabouts.

JENET

The leader of a band of pirates known as the Lillien Knights, B. JENET has traveled the world far and wide. Daughter of the Behrn family, an influential international cartel, she became bored of her luxurious but tedious life and ran away to form the Lillien Knights. After the tumultuous events of the previous KOF, B. JENET has her suspicions that the worst is not over yet and sets her sights on joining this KOF to see what’s in store.

Warframe Garuda Prime Makes Her Way Back to Prime Access on March 28

  by   MP1st Staff  
5:55 pm in News

As Harrow Prime finally exits this March 28, Warframe Garuda Prime will bring along her exclusive Prime Accessories, Weapons, Boosters and more back to Prime Access! Check out the details on this new returning Prime Access, and remember to check out Harrow Prime before it leaves rotation at the end of this month.

Here are the details on the return of Garuda Prime in Warframe Prime Access:

Garuda Prime Slaughters Her Way into Warframe Prime Access on March 28

The murderous maiden Garuda slays her way into Warframe Prime access on March 28, awash in crimson and signature shimmering gold. The powered-up Prime variant of Warframe Garuda, Garuda Prime vanquishes her prey with coldblooded elegance by tearing through the battlefield with razor-sharp talons and sanguine bloodletting. Players will be able to instantly unlock or earn Garuda Prime, along with her exclusive Prime Accessories, Weapons, Boosters and more to bolster their Arsenal with unparalleled weapons of visceral carnage. Players can learn more about Garuda’s reworked Abilities and how the maiden of murder gets deadlier the more she kills in Warframe’s latest update patch notes.

Nagantaka Prime: A golden version of Garuda’s versatile crossbow, as fashioned by the Orokin’s finest weaponsmiths. Alt-fire to let loose a barrage of bolts. All bolts have a chance to cause Bleeding, and Headshots have a chance to increase Reload Speed. When wielded by Garuda or Garuda Prime the Nagantaka gains a slight Punch Through effect.

Corvas Prime: Flaunting ceremonial beauty, this arch-gun flak-cannon is even more devastating than its standard issue counterpart.

Garuda Prime Access Accessories Include:

  • Kukri Prime Armor
  • Sanguinax Prime Ephemera
  • 90-day Resource and Affinity Boosters
  • Garuda Prime Glyphs

As another reminder, Harrow Prime is leaving Prime Access on March 28, so players who have still managed to snag it still have less than two weeks to make their move. Digital Extremes also announced that Titania Prime, Corinth Prime, and Pangolin Prime are going to be Vaulted on March 28, so if you’re interested in any of these be sure to purchase them before the date!

In case you missed it, Digital Extremes recently unveiled the Spring 2022 roadmap for Warframe, and you can check it out for yourself here.

Become the student you’ve always wanted to be as you experience life at Hogwarts and embark on a journey through the wizarding world. Discover magical beasts, craft potions, and master spell casting as you uncover the mystery of Ancient Magic.

Next, the magical minds at Avalanche Software take you through a behind-the-scenes look at how their vision of Hogwarts was brought to life in an open-world video game.

As you can see from the gameplay, this looks to realize the dreams of Harry Potter fans everywhere to live the life of a Hogwarts student. According to the trailer, it’s set to be released sometime in “Holiday 2022,” which means players will be able to flick their virtual wands in just a few short months!

Destiny 2 Upcoming Update 4.0.0.4 – Out March 22:

Next Tuesday, March 22, Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.0.0.4 will be released. View our Destiny Server and Update Status page for maintenance times, as well as the timeline below:
  • 9 AM PDT (1600 UTC): Destiny 2 maintenance begins.

  • 10 AM (1700 UTC): Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.0.0.4 will begin rolling out across all platforms and regions.
  • 11 AM (1800 UTC): Destiny 2 maintenance completes.
KNOWN ISSUES 
While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
The Synaptic Fanatic Triumph may not unlock for some characters after unlocking 25 Artifact mods. Players can log into alternate characters to complete this Triumph if the characters haven’t unlocked all the mods yet. We’re investigating a fix if all characters have unlocked the mods and haven’t received the Triumph yet.
  • Armor offered by Vendors has low-stat rolls.
      • This includes Tower vendors, as well as Xûr.
  • We are continuing to investigate an increase in MARMOT errors.
  • The Season 15 Pathfinder and Season 14 Lightkin armor sets are no longer available to equip as ornaments if previously unlocked via Armor Synthesis.
  • The yellow color for subtitles on the PS5 platform either isn’t noticeable or doesn’t appear anymore and only shows white text.
  • Players who go Flawless in Trials aren’t receiving post-win weapons or rewards.
  • Mementos aren’t dropping for players in Trials of Osiris.
  • Players aren’t receiving credit for Vow of the Disciple raid carries.
  • Some players can’t change their Bungie Name.
  • The One of Us emblem doesn’t appear in Collections.

In addition to that, Bungie has also revealed the Iron Banner and Trials schedule up to May!

We have some Iron Banner dates to share, raid challenges to complete, and Guardian Games coming towards the end of the Season. As a quick note, dates are subject to change. We’re also planning a few Gambit Labs weeks to sprinkle in, but want to let the dust settle from balance changes introduced at launch and a few tuning changes/bug fixes that are coming online.

  • March 15 (This Week!): Iron Banner and a New PsiOps Battlegrounds Location
  • March 22: Legend PsiOps Battlegrounds, Vow of the Disciple Challenges
  • April 1: Trials Labs – Zone Capture
  • April 5: Grandmaster Nightfalls
  • April 8: Trials Labs – Freelance
  • April 12: Iron Banner
  • April 19: Vow of the Disciple Master Difficulty
  • April 22: Trials Labs – Zone Capture
  • May 3 – May 24: Guardian Games
  • May 6: Trials Labs – Freelance, Community voted map
  • May 10: Iron Banner
  • May 20: Trials Labs – Freelance and Zone Capture

Once the patch is out next week, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Don’t forget to bookmark our Destiny 2 game hub for the latest on Xur, the weekly reset, and other activities!

Tribes of Midgard Upcoming New Content Revealed, Will No Longer Release Mid-Saga Updates

  by   MP1st Staff  
4:34 pm in News

Norsfell has revealed Tribes of Midgard upcoming new content in their latest developer blog update, including the revelation that the studio will no longer be releasing mid-saga updates in a bid to focus more on the game’s seasons. Check out all the new stuff announced in this latest update, as well as what players can expect from the game’s future.

Before we get to the upcoming new content, here’s the announcement from Norsfell on how the studio will approach updates in the future:

After taking a hard look at our cadence of releases, we realized that Tribes of Midgard shines brighter with larger, more significant updates that offer players highly compelling reasons to return rather than a steady trickle of content. This is why we’ve decided to no longer release smaller Mid-Saga updates, and instead focus exclusively on making each new Season as impactful as possible.

Next Season will be by far our biggest update yet! There is much to come with Saga 3’s debut that we’ll talk about as soon as we can. But until then, here’s a sneak peek of one change we’re particularly excited about…

Season 3 of Tribes of Midgard will feature the following:

  • Make your own Village! Players will spawn in a World with no Village to defend from pesky Jötnar or Helthings and instead will grow by building their own crafting stations and settlements to establish their foothold.
  • Construction 2.0! We’re overhauling the Construction system to provide players with the tools to achieve that vision, with new pieces like roofs and stairs as well as the ability to rotate your Camera to help design your perfect home.
  • Create your own Destiny! Players will benefit from a brand new Blessing Tree to fully customize their progression and unlock skills that would otherwise be contained to specific Classes. The Level cap will also be increased from 10 to 50.
  • Take over Ragnarök! While Jötnar will no longer march towards your Village, they will be found throughout Midgard and can be defeated for rewards. The same goes for Saga Bosses. The hunters become the hunted!

Stay tuned here at MP1st for the patch notes once this latest update for the game rolls out. Norsfell has not specifically given a date on this one, so be sure to check in every now and then for more updates!

Gran Turismo 7 Latest Update Reduces Payouts of Most Lucrative Races

  by   MP1st Staff  
3:58 pm in News

The Gran Turismo 7 latest update dropped earlier today, but it would appear that it heavily nerfed some aspects of the game that players did not very much appreciate. As someone pointed out on a Reddit thread, the payouts on some of the game’s most lucrative races were heavily reduced, and players have voiced their opinions on this newest update.

Reddit user FMecha posted the findings of Discord user ddm (runs the used/legend car dealer tracker for the game) which outlined the current credit changes made in the recent update.

World Touring Car 800:      24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit:    5,000 Cr -> 70,000 Cr
World Touring Car 800:      Monza Circuit:                       5,000 Cr -> 70,000 Cr
World Rally Challenge:      Alsace Village:                     50,000 Cr -> 30,000 Cr
Dirt Champions:             Fisherman’s Ranch:                  65,000 Cr -> 30,000 Cr
Dirt Champions:             Sardegna Windmills:                 65,000 Cr -> 40,000 Cr
Dirt Champions:             Colorado Springs Lake:              65,000 Cr -> 40,000 Cr
GT Cup Gr.4:                High Speed Ring:                    65,000 Cr -> 35,000 Cr
GT Cup Gr.4:                Brands Hatch GP Circuit:            65,000 Cr -> 45,000 Cr
GT Cup Gr.3:                Spa Francorchamps:                  75,000 Cr -> 50,000 Cr
GT Cup Gr.3:                Suzuka Circuit:                     75,000 Cr -> 50,000 Cr
GT Cup Gr.3:                Autodrome Lago Maggiore:            75,000 Cr -> 50,000 Cr
Clubman Cup Plus:           High Speed Ring:                    35,000 Cr -> 25,000 Cr
Clubman Cup Plus:           Tsukuba Circuit:                    35,000 Cr -> 25,000 Cr
Clubman Cup Plus:           Goodwood:                           35,000 Cr -> 12,000 Cr
American Clubman Cup 700:   Special Stage Route X:              30,000 Cr -> 15,000 Cr
American FR Challenge 550:  Blue Moon Bay Speedway:             15,000 Cr -> 10,000 Cr
American FR Challenge 550:  Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca:    15,000 Cr -> 10,000 Cr
American FR Challenge 550:  Willow Springs Raceway:             15,000 Cr -> 10,000 Cr

As you can see, almost all of the Cups, Challenges, and Champions races were nerfed in terms of credits given. Several users in the same thread pointed out that the reductions were outrageous, with some even wondering if this has to do with further pushing gamers into microtransactions.

Credit nerfs aside, Gran Turismo 7 still managed to come out on top in our review of the game here, where James wrote, “Gran Turismo 7 represents a true return to form for Polyphony Digital. Despite being the seventh mainline iteration, the team is still able to keep the series feeling fresh with its new coat of paint and innovative technology with its new weather system (and even a new AI tech called “Sophy”). For Gran Turismo players out there thinking this might be a half step measure, it’s not; it’s a full blown experience and so much more. It’s an essential must-play for any fan out there and it just might be my favorite Gran Turismo thus far.”

Thanks, Reddit!

Hi everyone!

It’s been 6 months since the release of Aragami 2, and we’re so grateful for the support you’ve been giving us throughout this time. Community feedback is so important to us, and we’ve listened to you.

Now, we’re so excited to show you the latest update arriving today to Aragami 2: the Classic Mode.

Classic Mode offers the chance to relieve Aragami’s original mechanics. The new mode is available now for owners of the game with this latest update. Players looking to dive into Aragami 2 for the first time can enjoy a 40% discount on Steam tomorrow, March 18th, for 48h.

Inspired by the mechanics that fans loved from the first game, Classic Mode will challenge players to stick to the shadows and plan their moves with extra caution. These are the main features that you’ll find in the Classic Mode:

  • Free leaps to shadows around you.
  • Stamina levels are limited and recharge slower in bright areas.
  • Direct combat is now extremely challenging and will more likely be deadly.
  • Switch between normal and classic mode before starting missions.
  • Classic mode is available both for single-player and multiplayer.

See the Classic Mode overview here:

Apart from that, we also added some new fixes to the game, including a fix for vegetation issues on AMD GPUs. Check the complete patch notes below:

Changes

That’s it for the patch. The studio also announced in the same post that they are working on adding difficulty modes to the game, so stay tuned!
