Funcom has rolled out a series of updates for Dune: Awakening, starting with patch 1.1.0.0. These patches aim to refine the harsh survival experience on Arrakis with better server stability and key gameplay fixes. Whether you're crafting in the desert or battling in melee PVP, these changes are worth noting.
Major Stability and Gameplay Improvements
The focus of these recent updates for Dune: Awakening is clear: make the game run smoother. Funcom has tackled server and client stability across multiple patches, ensuring your time on Arrakis isn’t interrupted by technical hiccups. On top of that, pesky issues like rubberbanding in melee PVP have been addressed, making close-quarters combat feel more responsive.
UI Tweaks and Mission Fixes
Navigating the world just got easier with updates to the Server Browser UI. The 'Join' button is now 'Visit' when checking out Sietches, complete with a handy confirmation prompt. A new pop-up also warns players about third-party managed private servers. Mission progression bugs, such as the Planetologist advanced training contract for Atreides defectors, have been ironed out, alongside fixes for NPC behavior and rogue sandworm breaches.
What’s Next for Arrakis?
While these patches polish the experience, some UI glitches, like Sietch names in Streamer Mode, await a future fix. Funcom’s commitment to refining the game is evident, and players can expect more tweaks ahead. For full details on these updates, check the official patch notes on the Dune: Awakening website.
