This isn't a content drop, but it is a necessary stability pass following the recent 1.2.20.0 update. If you've been experiencing sudden server instability while managing your base production, this patch specifically addresses those interruptions. You will need to download a client-side update before jumping back onto Arrakis.
Stabilizing the Crafting Queue
The headline fix in version 1.2.20.1 concerns a server crash triggered by crafting queues. In a survival game like Dune: Awakening, keeping your production lines running is vital. Having the server buckle because you queued up too many refined materials is a frustration nobody needs.
While the crash itself is fixed, Funcom noted that if you lost materials due to this specific error, they haven't been returned to your inventory just yet. The developers have stated that affected materials will be restored in a future hotfix, so hang tight if your resources vanished into the void during the crash.
Contracts and Server Visibility
For those grinding out reputation and solari, a bug from the previous patch caused uncompleted contracts accepted prior to 1.2.20.0 to simply disappear. This hotfix resolves that issue, ensuring your active jobs remain available to complete.
Additionally, players who couldn't find their specific worlds in the Server Browser should now see them listed correctly. If you were effectively locked out of your main server because it wouldn't populate in the list, that visibility issue is now resolved.
How do I get the update?
Because this involves client-side changes, you may need to restart Steam or your console to force the download to appear. Once updated, you should be able to reconnect immediately.
