FRESH FROM THE FOUNDRY: NEW CHANGES TO XAKU

We’ve made improvements to the latest community-created Warframe (with your help, of course). The once-broken warrior now deals neutrally effective Void damage with Xata’s Whisper, disarms their foes quicker with Grasp of Lohk, and inflicts increased damage with Deny.

We’ve also made the Vast Untime a duration-based Ability (no more energy drain), and included AOE damage reduction as part of Xaku’s passive. For full details on these changes, check out the official Warframe forums.

THE GREAT ENSMALLENING

The Origin System is vast, Tenno. In an effort to reduce the installation size of Warframe, we’re implementing a new technology that will compress our texture data more efficiently over the course of three remaster updates, ultimately freeing up approximately 15GB of space. For additional information on these and forthcoming changes, head on over to the official Warframe forums.

Warframe's download size will shrink by "at least 15GB" in the next three months

Digital Extremes is looking to chop Warframe's install size by "at least 15GB" before 2020 is done. One of the space game's developers jumped in to the forums to explain that this will be completed through three updates. The first one is next week and will free up 6.6GB of space, but, er, that update will be 6.5GB itself. It'll be fine in the end, we're sure.

"There's so much content in Warframe now that some people can't fit it on their smaller SSDs and have to run it off of a slow HDD instead," the developer writes. "There are so many things in the game that even for people with large NVME SSDs the game can't always load everything as fast as we'd like. Luckily we have found some new technology that is going to help us - we're going to make the game smaller and load faster - but there's a catch: you need to download remastered content."

The Warframe dev' is taking advantage of the updates to make quality and performance optimisations to formats it hasn't touched since the ninja game launched. That was back when "DirectX 9 was our only supported renderer" by the by.
