If you’re getting the error message “Could not update account information” (or something like “Unable to update account information, progress not saved”) in Warframe, here are what users and the dev/support team say are the causes and steps you can try to fix or mitigate it.
✅ Common reported causes
From community threads and the game’s forums:
-
Network instability during mission end-screen: the game tries to send mission results to the server and fails.
-
Having multiple active sessions/devices logged in (for example the companion app + game) causing a conflict.
-
Region/Server issues / high server load or server side bugs.
-
Router/DNS/internet provider issues causing packet loss or delays large enough to break the “end mission save” handshake.

🛠 Steps to try and fix or reduce risk
Here are things to try, ordered from easiest to more involved:
-
Ensure your internet connection is stable – If you’re on WiFi, switching to a wired connection may help. Some users report WiFi instability triggered this.
-
Avoid using the companion app or logging in from another device while playing – Try logging out of the app or closing it while running missions to see if the issue stops.
-
Change DNS – Some players found switching DNS servers (for example to Google’s 8.8.8.8) helped resolve the issue.
-
Check server/region status – Confirm if there are known issues for your region in the forums or the official support pages. If the servers are acting up, you may need to wait.
-
Try a fresh login – Sometimes logging out of Warframe, then logging back in, may clear whatever session-glitch was happening. Several users reported the error stopped only after a full logout.
-
Avoid doing long/complex missions if possible until the issue is fully resolved – Because if the end mission doesn’t properly save, you may lose progress or loot. Several users reported significant losses.
⚠️ What to know about loss of progress
-
If the “Could not update account information” occurs after you finish a mission and the pop-up appears, there is a real risk that mission results (loot, XP, resources) won’t be saved.
-
According to older forum posts, support may not be able to restore lost items if there’s no server record of the mission.
-
The best practical fallback: treat affected missions as if the result might not save — try to ensure shorter/fewer losses until the problem is resolved.
