This guide will explain the process of setting up the Bootstrapper in a Warframe install, which will allow you to connect to custom servers. Automated version here.

Setup

  1. Download the latest Bootstrapper DLL & Hotfix and drop it into the game install such that the DLL sits next to Warframe.x64.exe.
  2. On Windows, for U38.6 and >= U41, Warframe.x64.exe needs to be treated with Sideloadify to ensure it loads dwmapi.dll.
  3. For versions below U29, the DLL must be called wtsapi32.dll or version.dll. On Linux, set the environment variable WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wtsapi32.dll=n,b" to ensure that the Bootstrapper is loaded.

Usage

For more information, check out the Bootstrapper's comprehensive manual, which you can find online and in the OpenWF/Reference Manual.html file.
