Getting Support - Common Issues 04/20/2016
Have an issue? Unsure if we can help? Warframe's support team can assist you with the following common issues and concerns!
*Take care of reading through the instructions before sending in your Support ticket. An organized and detailed ticket will better help the agent answer and fulfill your request.*
"I accidentally purchased the same item twice."
Before sending in a support ticket please choose which item you would like to keep and start using it! Support tries to have as little impact on your play time as possible; we're able to see which of the two items you aren't using and remove it from your inventory (even while you're logged in).
Please note: We will not perform refunds on items that have been used - Leveled items or items with minimal Affinity are not eligible for refunds.
"I accidentally purchased an item and would like a refund"
Platinum refunds can usually be processed, as long as you submit your request immediately after your purchase and the item has not been used.
"I bought the wrong item."
A variation of the above questions, but the same applies. We are able to remove the item and refund your item purchase only if it has not been used. "
"I sold an item by mistake, is there any way I can have it back?"
Absolutely! In order to have the item restored please contact us as soon as possible after the sale - we have a limited window of time allocated to reversing this process.
Please make sure you have an open Warframe / weapon slot for the item(s) you sold. Should you not have enough slots available at the time of the reversal, we will contact you to let you know that you need to make room in your inventory.
"I started building something in the Foundry that I didn't mean to."
If the item is finished, please do not claim it. We cannot refund foundry items once they are claimed by the player. Unclaimed items will have the full construction costs refunded.
"I purchased a skin, but I can't find it."
Before sending in a support ticket, go to your Arsenal and browse for the purchased skin. You can search for and equip skins by clicking on the Appearance tab next to the item you want to customize. If you experience difficulties, contact Support and we can verify that you have the item and further assist you with equipping it.
"My mod is missing" or "I fused a mod by accident!"
Should you find you are missing any specific mod, please provide us with the name, rank, and the day you last saw the mod in your inventory. If you have an idea what mod it might have been fused into, please do not perform any more fusions; if a fused mod is fused again into a new mod, it cannot be recovered.
"I accidentally used a Forma on an item!"
If you accidentally polarized your item, please file a support ticket immediately and refrain from using the item in question until we get back to you.
In the ticket, please specify the item that you applied the Forma to and what polarity you intended to add. "I didn't receive my rewards from the event!"
We kindly ask you repeat any events/missions if they are still available. Please keep in mind that we are unable to advance you towards the next step/level of the event (if there is one) and cannot change any end of mission scores. If you are still missing rewards after repeating, please wait until after the event has ended and the rewards have been given out. Once the event has concluded contact Support as soon as possible.
Since certain events have immediate rewards while others do not, please check our website / Forums / social media for any announcements about the distribution of event rewards.
"My game crashed during a mission” or “My game was unable to update the account information and the progress was not saved.”
Depending on the mission you played, try to re-join the session to receive your rewards. Please note that only the end of mission rewards (5 minute / round rewards) are recoverable. Pickups from the mission itself cannot be recovered by the support team. If you are crashing or experiencing errors regularly, please create a support ticket in the most appropriate technical category so we can do our best to help you solve any networking / system problems you are experiencing.
“I want to change my email address / delete my account”
If you wish to update your account’s email address or have your account removed permanently, you will need to contact support and verify that you are the account creator. “I have purchased Platinum/Prime Access, but have not received it yet”
Usually purchases are applied to your account almost immediately, but depending on the payment method used (i.e. mobile payments) it can take up to 48 hours for your order to appear in-game.
If you have not received your purchase after 48 hours, please create a ticket with the following information so that we can assist you as quickly as possible: Choice of payment service (Paypal, credit card, etc.) Date and time of payment Screenshots of the confirmation for the purchase, including the transaction/order number Mobile phone number used, if payment was made through mobile service Item purchased (Prime Access Package, 1000 Platinum bundle, etc.) Experiencing issues that were not listed above?

Hey everyone, ENBY here.
I've seen a lot of people here having trouble with enabling PhysX, first my friends, then people on the forums in general seemed to have the same problem, so I thought about *trying* to help everyone the best I can.
Let's just get some stuff out of the way first.
- Make sure you have an Nvidia card with PhysX support.
- Make sure your GPU has *at least* 512MB of Vram.
Ok then, let's begin!
*** If you have the latest drivers skip to step 3. ***
Step 1. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed. If you don't know if you do or how to check it, chances are they're outdated. At the time that I'm writing this guide the latest stable release is 314.22 released on March 25th.
Just search for them here. ** Very Important ** If you're going to update to the latest driver, first do the following:
Access your control panel and go to "Uninstall program." If you have a program called NVIDIA PhysX System Software X.XX.XXXX then uninstall it first. Picture below for reference.
Ok, proceed to step 2 after the uninstall completes.
Step 2. Download the latest driver mentioned in the previous step and install it. ** Important ** When given the option, choose the "Custom/Advanced Install" instead of the default "Express Install". Then on the next window the important thing is that you check the option "Perform a clean install". Also, the 2 important components to have checked is Graphics Driver and PhysX System Software. Nvidia Update is up to you, if you want leave it on, it'll automatically update your drivers. *ALSO* If you have anything related to "HD Audio" uncheck it! 95% of all users won't benefit from that audio driver, and it may even break your computer. Many users reported having an unstable config or black screen at boot after installing the HD Audio driver. I don't know why Nvidia insists on bundling an audio driver with some packages...
Continue the installation. When done, reboot the computer as suggested and move on to step 3.
Step 3. After the reboot, access your Nvidia Control Panel. A new window pops up. Under your 3D Settings go to Set PhysX Configuration(1) then make sure your dedicated GPU(2) is chosen as the default, not the CPU nor the auto-select, then just hit apply.
Now move up to Manage 3D Settings(3) and on the Global Settings tab make sure you have your High-Performance NVIDIA Processor(4) selected then hit apply.
Next switch to your Program Settings (5) tab and click add (6). A new window pops up, just click Browse(7) then navigate to Warframe's install directory. Select the Warframe.exe and hit open/apply. (For the ones who have it installed through Steam the path looks something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Warframe".)
Below it there's something pretty familiar to you by now, an option that says "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program", once more make sure that "High-Performance NVIDIA processor" is selected and click apply. Repeat the above steps for the files Warframe.x64.exe and Launcher.exe (which is inside the tools folder).
Ok, we're almost there!!!
Step 4. On your Warframe Launcher you'll see a little nut icon, click it and make sure all the boxes are checked. Then hit Play. (If your card only supports DirectX 10 then uncheck the DirectX11.)
Step 5. Success! Go to options menu and rape that Check box as you cry in happiness, you're now able to enable PhysX! (Hopefully......)
***
If after all this you're still unable to check that box, don't be mad or disappointed. Ask for help in this thread! I'm sure there's many people willing to help, like myself!
***
Through this I was able to help a lot of my friends and I hope it now helps all of you Tennos out there.
If you have anything to add please do! Comments and critics are always welcomed.
On a side note, if you happen to know how to enable PhysX for our AMD friends then post it in here! I'll be glad to move it to the first post.
I would like to end this guide with a thanks to the Devs, who really put a lot of their time just to make sure everything is perfect for us. The game looks incredibly good with all settings cranked up and I wasn't even aware of it until I enabled PhysX and stayed in awe just by shooting an explosive barrel...
The Devs, they're our heroes! Where we have fun, the devs have hard work to do instead, respect them and appreciate their job. (Kinda like the doorman in a disco... Or the gynecologist.. huh...)
Once more, if you see anything wrong please do tell! I've finished writing this guide at 7am so I may be a little tired.
Cheers!
