If this breaks the EULA, as some claim, then so does opening your log files in notepad. Alecaframe has *read only perms* on output logs and does not modify the files of warframe in any way. Anyone claiming to be banned from the game for using Alecaframe clearly did something else. 3 years of public use in vids and on stream with zero issue.
My personal opinion is that instead of banning people from the game DE should really think about why those apps are being used and make an app just like that themselves.
Jagex did this with Old School RuneScape and officially permitting Runelite and it paid off. RuneScape is not particularly new player friendly in all the same ways Warframe is, where they drop you into the world and say good luck. and by allowing Runelite with its various plugins, it's a lot more beginner (and beyond) friendly. UI, quest helpers, built in wiki access, ect
Bro I JUST MADE an excel spreadsheet for my account…. And here’s a damn app doing everything and 100x more … I’m so defeated 😭😭 I was just proud of my excel..
I spoke with a contact I have at DE and they don't see anything bannable about using it. This is of course subject to change if the app is changed and begins manipulating code or grabbing user info meant to be private. They let me know that to date. No one has been banned for using this app. Figured I'd pass along the info for anyone who is curious or worried.
Honestly content creators pushing AlecaFrame is the best course of action, the game has grown, get DE to directly address it rather than these roundabout statements they have made. If AlecaFrame changes in the future to no longer abide by ToS, warn the community, don't go out firing bans immediately. It's like the "sharing drop tables is not common in the industry" excuse from a long time ago, but DE shared them and the game is better for it, get with the times.
The OSRS team went this route with the Runelite plugin and its been great for the game. Instead of banning it, they work with the mod creaters to approve plugins and remove the ones that are too powerful. A lot of people wouldn't play without it, the QoL is just that good
I really hope AlecaFrame causes DE to open the API already used by the Warframe mobile app up to third-party developers. Even readonly API access would be a massive step forward, if only for "prime farming checklist" purposes. Having to manually input which Primes and Prime components you already have into the existing checklist sites is total garbage if you've ever used anything developed around the Destiny or EVE Online APIs.
I wouldnt mind content creators talking about AlecaFrame if it wasnt by the fact that it is directly tied to Overwolf. Overwolf is awful, bloatware and filled with ads. I had situations where it was using the same amount of resources as Warframe.
Yes!!! Just implement it in the game. On the other hand, perhaps a more organized and easier way to farm plat and such might work against their bussiness model
Nice, but I won't risk my 11 years old account. I just wish they could say "this and that app is safe", but no, they tell us to use it at our own risk and that's not enough for me.
@@zietbukuelthey can't ban you for this man. It's the same as warframe market and they can't know ur using it without accessing to ur pc and investigating it. And even of they do that it's not a ban reason
@@bushidomashai1700 they can and will ban you if they want, also Warframe marketplace is a website, it's not an app you install on your computer, big difference.
We need a direct statement from DE. This is SO useful that it warrants a direct statement from the developer as to whether or not they will allow or deny the use of the app for the game.
They have made several direct statements, and they have all been the same, any use of third party software is against the ToS and the EULA and is not supported. its a blanket statement of course.
Screw allowing its use - make the API used by the mobile app (or at least a subset of it) public so that people can access this functionality on platforms other than Windows. Aleca might need to be reworked to use such an API, but public APIs are a game changer in situations like this. Look at EVE Online, or Destiny (one of the things Bungie is still doing pretty well is API access. IMO limiting bounty purchases to their app is BS though.)
This is how the warframe app should Look like. As long as it is 3rd person program I won't use it. Heard of this app about a year or something ago of another YTber. The app is really very organized I would like DE allow this app or just buys this app so we can use it all without being afraid of banshee.
DE could just do something as simple as making a public list of approved 3rd party applications for the game so people don't have to wonder. Could even go full addon support mode, although, I think that's part of why they are afraid to openly support 3rd party stuff, because opening the door can lead to opening the flood gates can lead to a lot of stuff they may or may not intend and it can be hard to manage. But I mean, they could just do it the way they do tenno-gen stuff, player selected, developer approved etc. just with 3rd party tools for the game. Could even do player created UI customization stuff (since it's in the game and they don't do a ton with it as is) I dunno, I'm just sorta rambling.
Primary difference between this and DIM is that Destiny's items/drops economy isn't tradeable in anyway. I think so long as it doesn't directly violate TOS they are satisfied to leave this be, but they have a direct financial investment in encouraging Plat purchases. While the encourage full FTP options, they don't want to make free currency trade so simple and in system to encourage BOT Farming. This is why so many MMOs are littered currency bots just grinding mats for trade so they can then sell accounts for real world money loaded with currency.
My account has basically everything on it and I've been playing for ten years. I'm definitely not using something that could get me banned from playing my account I've put so much effort into
@@riftsplitter2159yeah and Warframe requires you to enable two factor authentication on your account to trade anyways so you will be safe as long as you have a backup email to use as a recovery email even if it's an email you barely use 😅
Im sorry my brother, "if you get banned" probably means whatever follows aint worth it, and "if you get banned, ill make a video asking de whats up with that" aint exactly comforting

Yeah the relic stuff is one of the most powerful thing in the app. Helped me go through Leg1 because in-game, they don't have good tracker on what weapon parts is missing
When will game companies learn that "we don't want an auction house, it doesn't align with our philosophy of what the game should be" means nothing. Every game with trade will host, 3rd party sites > apps > discord servers to facilitate trade if a game doesn't provide decent tools for it. Just look at path of exile, turned into a monster called TFT.
Because the companion app is has barely changed since the first day it was released 😅 If they really thought this is unfair then they should also ban Warframe maket too
I've been googling how to start learning this game its soo big and overwhelming as a 40 year old. This showed up. Want to be safe, but will try it out - it's a vast game. It sounds like they're cool with it but as a developer have to remind people, they always reserve the right to ban you for anything any time.
Don’t worry, I’ve been playing since it came out. Whenever I take a break or don’t play for a few months, I have to relearn some stuff lol When I come back there have been so many changes or I find things that werent the before. You’re always going to be learning with this game, but the community is super helpful if you ask questions in chat.
I used this app since the release of it (about 2-3 years ago), it's fine. Most of the spooky ban is actually from Russian / Chinese player who do credit card scam to buy illegal platinum. But if you don't trade huge amount of plat (as in 1k+ per week), it won't affects you. The consequences of "illegal plat trading" is your plat got deducted by the amount of illegal plat, and if your plat goes negative, you got temp banned until you top-up plat more than the negative amount
This is very interesting, been looking for a while to find a reason to get back into my ancient WF account and start playing again. But with using this app you say it doesn't change files, but if you make a sell through this app it does change something. Wouldn't that be the gray area? In my understanding you can look at everything but don't touch any buttons, haha. Either way it's too risky for me personally, but was fun to watch.
This app showed me whole sets and collections of mods that I never even considered selling. For years I was just sitting on over 500 plat of stuff that I ended up selling in the 2 days after I installed this app. I plan on getting much more use out of this as well for the future.
ive been using this for a while. theres like no risk of being banned. it doesnt modify the game in any way. the most it does is have a small overlay with some info
I came back to like and comment on the video. Thank you for sharing this app! It's free and super easy, I just made 50p easy on duplicates I would never use :) I had been writing post it notes to keep everything organized and manage my relic rewards etc. This is so helpful!
Yeah I saw someone get "PERMA-BANNED" for asking why someone got banned in chat. They claimed it was the automated system. Ironically that system can only temporary bann from region chat. Moderation and support for this game is trash. Hell just saying thicc can get you banned. Not that's a word in my regular vocabulary, I just think it's ridiculous.
@@tfkoincognitoban and chat-ban is different. Perma chat ban is EXTREMELY Rare. I never seen someone got them unless you say N-word multiple time for a week or so. If it's weird filter like "gay" or the infamous "nezha is a trap", you usually got muted 1 minutes
This was in my feed and I came for the clean excal fashionframe but stayed for the absolutely amazing app. I've been playing WF for years and years but I stopped about 2 years ago. Just picked it back up and wow what a time saver. Anyways thanks for sharing the info.
The fact this functionality is not baked in baffles me. Legitimately starting to think their coders have no idea how to do anything but shooting and the most basic of boolean dependencies (gameplay loop wise).
As I am getting back into Warframe and yes it is like what do I do, I am lost. I will take a chance on you recommendation on this app to make my experience more efficient
Would love to use this but to everyone else, make sure you're comfortable with having Overwolf on your computer before installing as that's the biggest deal breaker for me. Anyone know any alternatives that does not use Overwolf?
@@GoneAngel While that is true, I've personally had the pleasure to talk to the support about third party tools and the ToS, since a completely unrelated app I use for work got me flagged for a perma ban, we got it resolved, but they do indeed actively look for third party tools and enforce the ToS. I don't doubt that many people got banned over this.
@@beambreaker300 Then they should send in a support ticket and get unbanned, and if they don't they should provide proof of what happened so people know to avoid it. Otherwise it's just fearmongering.
@@GoneAngel the fear they "monger" is you losing months or years of money and time spent on your WF account. Anything with even a CHANCE of doing that is already deserving of being skeptical over at best and fearing at worst.
Just remember guys, while the app claims not to violate the EULA, if, for instance, let's say an update is made to the app and a programming error leads to it doing something unintentional such as violating the EULA, you WILL be banned and DE will not unban you no matter how much you plead. They have already made it clear that they don't openly support this app and cannot be held liable if it does at any point do something which breaks the EULA. IMO it isn't worth the risk. You are at the mercy of the person coding the app. If they make a mistake, you pay for it with your account and all the time and money you have spent on it.
i stopped using the app after getting banned twice the dev was very nice enough to unban be twice i even have the ticket of the unban request if u want proof go on, make a video asking de now because i really wanna use alecaframe again
This is why his "if you get banned I'll make a video means nothing" it won't do anything. He didn't even see this comment. So if you were someone just banned now due to this video getting you to download it then he wouldn't see it and you'd be without a Warframe account.
There isn't a single website (atleast that i know of) that does everything alecaframe does. So rather than going to multiple websites to do 2-3 tasks that can be done my simply downloading a software that isn't harmful is a great qol
They should just make this the official supplementary app. Not everybody can keep an eye on stuff 24/7, and even having this as an "at a glance" mobile apk would be fucking awesome. I just started and having something thats more robust and accessible than the codex would be amazing. Even having a section to where i can select a mod that i want and it gives me a basic outline of a plan to find it / get it would be awesome. Instead, i have to keep 15 google tabs open to keep track of the varies quests, mods, weapons, and missions to do to get what i want is exhausting.
Dude I'm fairly new still/returning after I had played for a lil bit and seeing people charging 8k plat for one riven is crazy, personally the fact that it's 50 bucks for ~1,000 plat makes that price crazier than some stuff you can get at the mall or something
i just reinstalled warframe after years of absent.. and just baffled with the expansion and dont know what to do, thx God i stumbled unto this vid. Hopefully it helps reignite my Tenno Fire!
Do you mean if say I hypothetically download it on my PC but I'm on PS4, do you just download the app then log in with my PC account I've created to turn on cross play and save? Is that what you meant by that? @@Zazafe3101
They really should make all this information available through an API.. i would love to make my own application with that. and so would hundreds of others..
Thank you very much for detailed explanation and clarifications. this app really help me manage trading way easier and many other miscellaneous quality of life improvements for the game.
Honestly thought he'd mention warframe companion or warframe market apps... but man gave us a even more W of a app I just wish it was phone app too, not just windows program
@@HeavilyForkedBardsWar Bro, if Overwolf do something that makes u get banned in warframe automatically, it will make u get banned automatically with so many other games that they'll get sued by multiple companies for losing money. Can happen, but u can be sure warframe (and i imagine other games) will give u ur account back. I understand ppl fearing for their account. But if u've only used an app that looks like aleca (so polished, explaining what they're doing with ur infos and so on) works great and don't seem to have any EULA or ToS break, u'll get ur account back. Tho, if that's not the only thing "wrong" (it's not a bad app so idk why they would ban over it in the first place) with ur account, that's on u.
@@thedoomslayer5863 If DE and Overwolf had official meetings to ensure that they don't violate TOS, its in both parties best interest to play nice. If its found that sometthing Overwolf created directly violate TOS, they would be eligible for DE to file a lawsuit. The post in the forum regarding the potential to be banned, is just DE making sure they exercise their legal protections to take action if they feel their game is being compromised dangerously.
Are you running your game through steam or through the warframe launcher? Just curious because the steam version’s anti cheat may flag it and the other might not or vice versa
Funny how basically no one uses the actual Warframe companion app, not even DE. It's been abandoned/left behind for years. Can't even use it while playing Warframe which makes zero sense since they're both made by DE, lol
I’ve been using this before I merged my account and have still used it after I feel like if you were gonna deliberately ban someone it would’ve been then
Dont risk the effort you put in the game all this time. People got banned for using alecaframe before. It would suck losing a thousand hours of progress and passion to some useless TOS rule

Most of the spooky ban is actually from Russian / Chinese player who do credit card scam to buy illegal platinum. But if you don't trade huge amount of plat (as in 1k+ per week), it won't affects you.
The consequences of "illegal plat trading" is your plat got deducted by the amount of illegal plat, and if your plat goes negative, you got temp banned until you top-up plat more than the negative amount
This is very interesting, been looking for a while to find a reason to get back into my ancient WF account and start playing again. But with using this app you say it doesn't change files, but if you make a sell through this app it does change something. Wouldn't that be the gray area? In my understanding you can look at everything but don't touch any buttons, haha. Either way it's too risky for me personally, but was fun to watch.
Bro this app change my game completely, i can finally sell things and buy things easier and farm for the things i need. Thanks a lot!
This app showed me whole sets and collections of mods that I never even considered selling. For years I was just sitting on over 500 plat of stuff that I ended up selling in the 2 days after I installed this app. I plan on getting much more use out of this as well for the future.
ive been using this for a while. theres like no risk of being banned. it doesnt modify the game in any way. the most it does is have a small overlay with some info
I wish they incorporate alecaframe within the game, it's VERY useful , it make things so much easier.
I use this already. Definitely makes things so much easier and less time consuming. Had no problems at all with it.
my brother needs a opera gx sponsor
I'll pass
Opera GX steals a lot more info than other apps and also they fucked over Game Maker Studio. They're literally evil.
💀
My comment got deleted apparently but all I said was Opera GX is evil
Hi this is iflynn and this is raid shadow legends.
Ok... DE needs to either update the companion app to match this or allow select 3rd party apps like alecaframe, warframe market and overframe
I came back to like and comment on the video. Thank you for sharing this app! It's free and super easy, I just made 50p easy on duplicates I would never use :)
I had been writing post it notes to keep everything organized and manage my relic rewards etc. This is so helpful!
This is awesome, but ive heard of weird permabans... so im still alittle sketchy on this...
Yeah I saw someone get "PERMA-BANNED" for asking why someone got banned in chat. They claimed it was the automated system. Ironically that system can only temporary bann from region chat. Moderation and support for this game is trash. Hell just saying thicc can get you banned. Not that's a word in my regular vocabulary, I just think it's ridiculous.
@@tfkoincognitoban and chat-ban is different.
Perma chat ban is EXTREMELY Rare. I never seen someone got them unless you say N-word multiple time for a week or so.
If it's weird filter like "gay" or the infamous "nezha is a trap", you usually got muted 1 minutes
@@cypherusuh the nezha one feels ridiculous, probably wouldn't have gotten as big if they didn't react.
Bro what are your display settings i love the matte look
I used the app briefly since I was scared of getting banned. I might download it again.
I've been using it since duviri dropped...honestly I credit it with 90% of my ability to progress at this point
3 years of using it no bans, it’s a read only platform..Dosent modify anything
I have been using it for well over a year and have talked about it many times in chat, still here. I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
@@IshimuraaYTdoesn't the overwolf thing it needs mess with the files or obtain them in some way?
@@thedoomslayer5863 no, it’s readonly..it does not do anything against tos which states “cannot modify files in any way” aleca does not modify at all
This was in my feed and I came for the clean excal fashionframe but stayed for the absolutely amazing app. I've been playing WF for years and years but I stopped about 2 years ago. Just picked it back up and wow what a time saver. Anyways thanks for sharing the info.
this is exactly what i needed but cant risk getting banned
The fact this functionality is not baked in baffles me. Legitimately starting to think their coders have no idea how to do anything but shooting and the most basic of boolean dependencies (gameplay loop wise).
As I am getting back into Warframe and yes it is like what do I do, I am lost. I will take a chance on you recommendation on this app to make my experience more efficient
Thank you for letting me know about this amazing app!!!
Would love to use this but to everyone else, make sure you're comfortable with having Overwolf on your computer before installing as that's the biggest deal breaker for me. Anyone know any alternatives that does not use Overwolf?
as someone who is on a long hiadous from warframe i would love to see something like this ingame but for progress, not trading.
never heard of it before watching this video thanks a lot for this info!!!!
Hi mate do u play cascade? I think a video about your builds on endurance cascade would be nice.
dear snowflakes in the comment section, i've been using alecaframe for 2 years and there is absolutely no risk so calm down
Multiple people have been banned over this, that you in particular were lucky enough to not get banned is not exactly proof of it being safe
@@beambreaker300 Multiple people claim to have been banned over this. Keyword you forgot was claim.
@@GoneAngel While that is true, I've personally had the pleasure to talk to the support about third party tools and the ToS, since a completely unrelated app I use for work got me flagged for a perma ban, we got it resolved, but they do indeed actively look for third party tools and enforce the ToS. I don't doubt that many people got banned over this.
@@beambreaker300 Then they should send in a support ticket and get unbanned, and if they don't they should provide proof of what happened so people know to avoid it. Otherwise it's just fearmongering.
@@GoneAngel the fear they "monger" is you losing months or years of money and time spent on your WF account. Anything with even a CHANCE of doing that is already deserving of being skeptical over at best and fearing at worst.
I have been playing for hours and it still isnt synced up with my warframe for some reason?
Launch AlecaFrame first then Warframe
Just remember guys, while the app claims not to violate the EULA, if, for instance, let's say an update is made to the app and a programming error leads to it doing something unintentional such as violating the EULA, you WILL be banned and DE will not unban you no matter how much you plead. They have already made it clear that they don't openly support this app and cannot be held liable if it does at any point do something which breaks the EULA.
IMO it isn't worth the risk. You are at the mercy of the person coding the app. If they make a mistake, you pay for it with your account and all the time and money you have spent on it.
please note that this app is only available for Widows 10 or newer. I use a custom OS for gaming and as a consequence I am unable to use this app
I've really been wanting to sell my rivens 😅 but could never figure it out for pricing. This is going to be so nice
I've been using this app for over 2 years now and I haven't been banned yet. I can also confirm it is a handy app.
anyone tell me plz how did he get that painting styled or cartoonish view inside his orbiter??? how???

After getting this, a lot of times when I alt+tab out and then back in the game, it crashes my game. Not sure if there's a way to fix this.
Loving that excalibur drip. Jelly
Can it access my foundry and auto craft formas? DE will never add an auto craft into the game that's 70% crafting.
So this app is like DIM from destiny 2 which is reallly cool
i stopped using the app after getting banned twice
the dev was very nice enough to unban be twice
i even have the ticket of the unban request if u want proof
go on, make a video asking de now because i really wanna use alecaframe again
This is why his "if you get banned I'll make a video means nothing" it won't do anything.
He didn't even see this comment. So if you were someone just banned now due to this video getting you to download it then he wouldn't see it and you'd be without a Warframe account.
Is there something similat we can use for console (ps5)?
Isn't there literally a website that does most of this without having to download anything
There isn't a single website (atleast that i know of) that does everything alecaframe does. So rather than going to multiple websites to do 2-3 tasks that can be done my simply downloading a software that isn't harmful is a great qol
They should just make this the official supplementary app. Not everybody can keep an eye on stuff 24/7, and even having this as an "at a glance" mobile apk would be fucking awesome. I just started and having something thats more robust and accessible than the codex would be amazing. Even having a section to where i can select a mod that i want and it gives me a basic outline of a plan to find it / get it would be awesome. Instead, i have to keep 15 google tabs open to keep track of the varies quests, mods, weapons, and missions to do to get what i want is exhausting.
just a heads up, you cannot do this if you are in a windows insider program.
Dude I'm fairly new still/returning after I had played for a lil bit and seeing people charging 8k plat for one riven is crazy, personally the fact that it's 50 bucks for ~1,000 plat makes that price crazier than some stuff you can get at the mall or something
Riven market is regarded ngl
Rivens was a mistake
Do I have to use the app on the same device? Am I able to have it on my phone and then play on another device and it’s still connect the interface?
I wish I could put the riven name into it and compare because I don't have a pc I can load up to check
i just reinstalled warframe after years of absent.. and just baffled with the expansion and dont know what to do, thx God i stumbled unto this vid.
Hopefully it helps reignite my Tenno Fire!
Does this work for console?
No unless you download it with a pc then put in your account info
Do you mean if say I hypothetically download it on my PC but I'm on PS4, do you just download the app then log in with my PC account I've created to turn on cross play and save? Is that what you meant by that? @@Zazafe3101
Sadly no. It's strictly PC based. It's only good if you have your account from Warframe as cross save, then it will bring your stuff up.
They should add a new tab that creates best weapon sets like best weapon build best frame build for certain play styles etc
They really should make all this information available through an API.. i would love to make my own application with that. and so would hundreds of others..
Finally, now I actually wanna sell my stuff and this will make it infinitely easier
I’d want it for just the master rank helper but not sure if it’s worth the ban.
Can you install this application without having overwolf malware installed on your pc??
I would not play warframe without aleca
Thank you very much for detailed explanation and clarifications. this app really help me manage trading way easier and many other miscellaneous quality of life improvements for the game.
Is there an app that tells you mission order or what missions to do. I feel like I've been chasing the 2 dream for 10 years lol off and on.
Honestly thought he'd mention warframe companion or warframe market apps... but man gave us a even more W of a app
I just wish it was phone app too, not just windows program
You can’t get banned as it’s just reading your files it’s not modifying it at all. It’s got read only permissions
What bothers me is any update of overwolf could make a change or a bug or a mistake and risks DE banning you automatically.
@@HeavilyForkedBardsWar Bro, if Overwolf do something that makes u get banned in warframe automatically, it will make u get banned automatically with so many other games that they'll get sued by multiple companies for losing money.
Can happen, but u can be sure warframe (and i imagine other games) will give u ur account back.
I understand ppl fearing for their account. But if u've only used an app that looks like aleca (so polished, explaining what they're doing with ur infos and so on) works great and don't seem to have any EULA or ToS break, u'll get ur account back. Tho, if that's not the only thing "wrong" (it's not a bad app so idk why they would ban over it in the first place) with ur account, that's on u.
@@HeavilyForkedBardsWaryeah it may be read only but this overwolf thing it is attached to does not seem so light
@@thedoomslayer5863 If DE and Overwolf had official meetings to ensure that they don't violate TOS, its in both parties best interest to play nice. If its found that sometthing Overwolf created directly violate TOS, they would be eligible for DE to file a lawsuit.
The post in the forum regarding the potential to be banned, is just DE making sure they exercise their legal protections to take action if they feel their game is being compromised dangerously.
Are you running your game through steam or through the warframe launcher? Just curious because the steam version’s anti cheat may flag it and the other might not or vice versa
you just answered your own question
I use steam and it works fine. Been using it for a year or so
Steam's anti cheat only applies to VAC protected games, warframe is not a VAC protected game.
@@familyvalue5588 DE has its own anti cheat system.
Funny how basically no one uses the actual Warframe companion app, not even DE. It's been abandoned/left behind for years. Can't even use it while playing Warframe which makes zero sense since they're both made by DE, lol
whats the visual mod you use ? looks like borderlands :D
Is there any apps for iPhone that resembles AlecaFrame?
I’ve been using this before I merged my account and have still used it after I feel like if you were gonna deliberately ban someone it would’ve been then
Great video buddy❤❤
i remember when they used to ban ppl for this app long ago
Imagine Warframe actually implementing this type of functionality in game 😮
I've got no idea why DE hasn't got this and more.
I literally have a second screen that is only dedicated to this app 🤣 It makes relics a thousand times better. And it's great for completist.
This is what the companion app should be.
Anyone else just stare at the box moving the whole time?
Wow! Great Tool. I'm Legendary Rank 3 and this is the first time i'm hearing about this.
Dont risk the effort you put in the game all this time. People got banned for using alecaframe before. It would suck losing a thousand hours of progress and passion to some useless TOS rule
@@UndergroundBirdwhere have people been banned using it? It dosent modify files and I’ve known hundreds of people using it for years and no bans
How on earth do i make the game look like that with those graphics though?
First: sell your potato. Second: buy an expensive PC.
@@rafaellimafortuna9060 i have expensive pc only in game potatoes but not cartoony Flynn graphics
wdym cartoony :( ?
@@xiFlynnyour colors are more highlighted to where it almost does look more animated it looks awesome
Does this work with consul accounts maybe not being the consul itself but it would still be very help to have it on my laptop as a second monitor
Nevermind it's an overlay so it's only available on pc
Is there a way to make AlecaFrame NOT remove an item from Warframe Market after selling/buying it?
Why his game look so crispy
