Funcom has just dropped Hotfix 1.1.0.15 for Dune: Awakening, bringing a wave of gameplay tweaks and stability improvements to the harsh sands of Arrakis. This client-side update is a must-download for players eager to smooth out their multiplayer survival RPG experience.
Essential Updates in Hotfix 1.1.0.15
If you’re diving into the dangerous world of Dune: Awakening, make sure to restart your Steam client to grab this hotfix. Servers will be back online shortly after deployment, so you won’t be stranded for long. This update tackles a slew of issues that have been bugging players, from gameplay mechanics to pesky exploits.
Gameplay Tweaks and Fixes
Among the standout changes, PvP zone respawn timers have been adjusted—expect a 70-second wait for your first respawn, stretching to 115 seconds for subsequent ones. Funcom also removed the outdated Dvyetz Ornithopter Engine Mk5 Schematic from loot tables and ensured players no longer take damage from vehicle collisions. Additionally, the unstuck feature is now hidden when in vehicles or on the Overland Map for a cleaner interface.
What’s Improved for Stability?
On the technical side, this hotfix addresses client freezes when crossing Deep Desert server borders and resolves crashes tied to vehicle restoration. Notification visibility gets a boost with service messages now appearing at the upper center of your screen. Plus, several exploits—like firing projectile salvos or damaging others’ bases with a cutteray—have been squashed.
