Funcom is cracking down on unfair play in Dune: Awakening. With cheats and exploits disrupting the survival RPG experience on Arrakis, the developers have taken decisive action, including temporarily disabling Family Sharing. Let’s dive into the latest updates and what they mean for players.
Combatting Cheats in Dune: Awakening
In a recent move, Funcom has rolled out multiple hotfixes to address exploits plaguing Dune: Awakening. Hundreds of players caught using cheats have been banned, and large sums of exploited Solaris, the game’s currency, have been wiped from the servers. The team is also conducting ongoing investigations, promising more bans as they uncover additional violators.
Why Was Family Sharing Disabled?
One of the most notable changes is the temporary suspension of Family Sharing due to frequent abuse. Funcom is actively working on a solution to bring this feature back, though no exact timeline has been shared. This decision aims to maintain a level playing field for all survivors on Arrakis.
What’s Next for Fair Play?
Looking ahead, Funcom is developing further fixes for cheat-related issues to be included in upcoming patches. Players are encouraged to report any suspicious activity using the in-game ‘Request Help’ option, ensuring the community plays a role in keeping the game fair.
