These 32bit changes made it worse

[Xekrin]

Improved system stability slightly for 32-bit systems (note: if you're running 32-bit Windows without a discrete Graphics Card this optimization probably won't save you).

As one of the woeful users of Vista (believe me I want to get Windows 7) I am fully aware that I will not perform as good as I could or should.  Despite that, however, I have been playing for nearly a year and other than having decreased graphics and a smidge of lag, I never had problems.

Until this update.  Yesterday the game ran just as smoothly as it always did.  Today after updating I could barely run, the graphics were jerky and smeared as if it couldn't quite keep up.  I never had this problem before today.

I will continue playing missions but this felt pretty awful, it caused me to fall behind in the mission (grineer vs. corpus invasion) and caused it to take twice as long for me to get to extraction.  I've yet to played anything else, which I will after posting this, but I wanted to get this down first.

Just played a few more missions, full squad fissure runs ran a bit more smoothly so I thought it was perhaps getting better.  So I ran 3 more invasion missions (well infestation) which were on the same tileset as the previous invasion (the one with the portal on the grineer ship) and it was still very sludgy.  

I then ran 3 more missions, one pug and two solo to see if there was a difference, and although solo ran somewhat better, there was still some severe sludgey lag that I never experienced previously.  My only conclusion is this update change to 32 bit did something it shouldn't have.  

Just my opinion though as I'm only one player, and I doubt there are many 32 bit users anymore (sigh).  Also I didn't change any of my settings from what they were yesterday when the game ran smoothly for me.

Side note, since the first sotr update (or perhaps lunaro not sure) it takes a lot longer for warframe to shutdown now, it used to close cleanly without any system lag.  Now it takes a minute or two for my system to clear itself of warframe memory or whatever and speed up other applications I have open or try to open after closing warframe.

I doubt 32bit is much of a priority and I don't really think you'll get much feedback on it but my opinion is please reverse whatever you did.  It didn't help and hurt quite a bit.

Maybe totally unrelated to the topic but my game has also suffered form severe FPS drops from the new update. I run a decent portable PC with 64bit windows 10 and whatnot but since this update something has $&*&*#(%& my graphic performance.

This, 64bit windows 7, for a while I've been iffy about it, trying not to blame the update that was supposed to do precisely the opposite. But it seens to have coincided with the 32bit fix.

Never really bothered checking my fps and Warframe's fps was never been an issue before, some of the hotfixes that came after Specters of the Rail even made it better. But for around 1 week I can feel the fps drop and stuttering.

It looks ok at first, on Liset and at the beggining start of missions, but grows gradualy, It's particulary obvious on Grineer missions depending on how many mobs are on my screen, feels like the stutteting and fps drops add one on top of the other, it can even make the action seen confusing. The game was really stable before, now it almost feels like a port of a console game.

I second your performance issues also with some way More OP specs then the most players.

Here my findings about why this happens:

Windows 10 and 32bit here, and I also have experienced more problems than before unfortunately. For some reason my system just decides to shut down Warframe completely if graphically something seems too hard to handle. I play using a Radeon 7770 HD 1GB card with the latest AMD Catalyst drivers installed, a set that does not cause me any troubles in other games.

Could you give more info about your rig that you have on the moment? Like CPU ram HDD and so forth.

Well... Lo and behold, moving from a 32bit system to a 64bit system solved all problems with the game crashing in Relays and in mid game sessions!

[Nep_Blanc]

also @imardv your rig should be sufficient for this game.

but what did fix your issues I still have like issues on a lot more OP rig?

32bit to 64 is known to perform better

Basically just re-installing Windows 10 but with a 64bit architecture helped solve my problems. I think it mostly helped working with the 2x4Gb RAM memory set on my system, circumventing texture loading trouble in the game.
