DE doesn't host the remote servers for GeForce Now. You wanna talk to Nvidia or get a better internet plan.

The title is pretty much self explanatory, however, I should note I ran into this bug on a Cross Save session on my Nintendo Switch (I can't seem to post in that subforum because of yet another bug to do with the website...) The mission was Capture, I completed the objective and collected all 10 reactant, and all seemed normal, there were 4 people (including myself) in the mission, and on the extraction screen, only 2 users were present, and I couldn't select a reward. When I went to the chat, 5 users were present in the group, It gave me the Void Traces for opening the relic, however, I came away with no prime part.

After linking and merging my PC and Switch accounts, I have discovered that I can no longer sign in on the forums using my Switch account. This was expected, however, this means I cannot create a topic in the Switch trading subforum, as it appears a PC primary account can't post in any other subforum except the PC trading one. While most people probably don't use the forums for trading, the Cross Save restrictions limit who you can trade Platinum with, and the in-game keyboard makes typing out posts very tedious. I am not sure if there would be rules broken for posting my Switch username in a PC topic, either.

Switch players can trade platinum with other Switch players. Switch players cannot trade platinum with PC, Playstation or Xbox players. If you buy platinum on your Switch, it will stay seperated from what platinum you buy when playing on PC/Xbox/Playstation. So if you login on PC, you will have a different platinum amount you can trade with Playstation and Xbox.

I'm not entirely sure. I was just able to login to my Switch account through the Nintendo website the account link page took me to, which I wasn't able to do a few minutes beforehand. The steps I took: - Signed out of my PC account on the website - Attempted to sign into my Switch account, where I got the "log in on your nintendo switch" error - I booted up the game on my switch just to see if that would make a difference (I'd tried this before and it didn't work) - Signed back into the PC account and went to the cross save page, went to link my Switch account and got the "this account does not exist" error - Made the previous post in this thread - Possibly refreshed the page and was able to login normally on the same cross save page I can only assume the servers are struggling because it didn't show my PC platinum amount correctly on the banner of the website, it was at "0" and the cross save page displayed the amounts correctly.

Seems it is now fixed. I merged successfully. Everything seems to be in order other than the 60 odd plat I knew I wouldn't be getting on Switch.

Linking a Nintendo Switch account is still bugged despite the initial authorisation fix. I get the same "sign in to warframe on nintendo switch" and "account does not exist".

As far as I know, you get one merge per console for eligible accounts. If you mark the PC account as your primary while merging, you shouldn't have any problems. If the Xbox account isn't eligible to merge (created after the cutoff date), linking will override the Xbox account.

I don't think most people are eligible because cross save is on the back bench and has been since late December. Apart from those that already merged on the given days or so. As of right now, I still can't merge my account. Unless being a founder or prime access owner is still an exception. Also, making a PC account is still a requirement for cross save. They should be able to add their PC account via account management when they eventually open the feature again.

It's not so much that players don't appreciate what is being given to us, it's moreso the delivery. When you hype up Cross Save for the better part of 2 years it's understandable people would have some expectations. Then, when you make promises you can't keep, people will be upset. We were told it would be done by the end of 2023, that time between the phases starting and the process finished would take days, etc. I followed almost every update besides the devstreams. Even popular gaming magazines were advertising the new feature. When you have literally hundreds of thousands of players being baited by a dangling carrot for so long, it's inevitable to run into complaints when you hit a wall.

I don't mind waiting if it means they fix the ability to authenticate your Nintendo Switch accounts, because that is what prevented me and a lot of others from merging on the given days. For some reason they removed authentication in a patch note when Whispers went live which meant you can't sign in on the website. If there's any update it'll likely be later today, but even then I don't expect the problem to be fixed right away because that seems like a big security issue.

Honestly, at this point, I kinda gave up expecting it to be done in any reasonable amount of time. We were promised it would be 2021. Then years of nothing, then promised it would be before the end of the year and "within days". It took them the better half of a week just to let Founders merge properly because of clan issues. There's been tons of issues. I can understand a hiccup here or there (like they hotfixed needing a valid PC account to link properly, which should have been working from the start), but it's very frustrating. I couldn't sign in to merge my accounts on the days given because they purposefully removed the ability to authenticate Nintendo accounts on the website when Whispers launched and just never mentioned it except in one footnote saying they were aware of the issue. Those that were lucky enough to already be signed in were able to merge, but there's still a huge amount of people that didn't have access even when it was "fully open to everyone". That issue alone is a problematic one I don't expect will be fixed for weeks even if DE does start working on it right now. That and there's been rumours of people having issues trading with the correct settings. I've been following updates and mentions from streams for months, and was honestly excited to get to play on my main account again, only to be disappointed. They did manage to get a huge amount of players live with Cross Save, which is a pretty big accomplishment, so I can't bash on them too hard for that. But I think there are valid issues and feelings that need addressed whenever they come back from their break.

There's a large amount of Nintendo Switch players that haven't been able to merge or link their accounts because of issues with signing into Warframe and verifying their accounts because that "feature" was removed when Whispers of The Walls launched. There has also been an amount of Switch players that have been able to merge their accounts, which I figure is attributed to already being signed in and authenticated on the website since before the update. It's been a little frustrating following the updates for months, being told it would be live by the end of 2023, and generally not being able to participate. I am hopeful for January, although I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

That's just the thing, I can't seem to get past logging in because it keeps telling me my account does not exist or that I have to sign in elsewhere, which doesn't work. I can only assume people are able to merge because they've been signed into the warframe website on their nintendo account before Whispers of The Walls removed the authentication in a patch. I will keep trying various things to get it to work but chances are it's just something DE needs to fix, and I doubt it will be before 2024.

I made a bug report in the appropriate subforum as well as the solutions I've tried. I've seen people in the forum after the patch able to merge, and I can only assume that they've been logged into the website since before Whispers of The Walls removed the authentication.
