Great news for Arrakis survivors! Funcom has just released hotfix 1.1.0.5 for Dune: Awakening, focusing on server stability and squashing pesky bugs. This update is essential for anyone braving the harsh deserts in this multiplayer survival RPG.
Key Improvements in Hotfix 1.1.0.5
Funcom is tightening the bolts on Dune: Awakening with this update. Players will notice smoother gameplay thanks to enhanced game client and server stability. If you've been struggling with connection hiccups, this patch is your spice-laden savior.
Gameplay and UI Fixes
Beyond stability, the hotfix tackles specific irritations. Melee PvP combat should feel more fluid with resolved rubberbanding issues—say goodbye to those frustrating teleporting foes. Additionally, party breakups when transitioning from Deep Desert to Hagga Basin are now a thing of the past, keeping your squad intact for the fight.
On the UI front, the Server Browser button has swapped 'Join' for 'Visit,' complete with a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental clicks. Plus, the top-left corner of your screen will now display the Sietch you're visiting, though heads-up: this currently shows in Streamer Mode (a fix for this is coming soon).
What Else Is New in Dune: Awakening?
Localization has also gotten a polish in select areas, making the game more accessible across regions. Players will need to download this client-side update, so restart your Steam client if it doesn’t kick off automatically. Servers are expected to be back online shortly after deployment.
