Servers for Dune: Awakening have returned online following the deployment of Hotfix 1.2.20.3. This update arrives just a day after the previous patch, indicating Funcom is moving quickly to address immediate stability or gameplay issues on Arrakis.
If you are trying to log in and find yourself stuck, ensure your client is up to date. For PC players specifically, if the download doesn't initiate automatically, you likely need to restart your Steam client to force the update to appear in your queue.
Why are there back-to-back hotfixes?
It is not uncommon for survival MMOs to see rapid-fire updates, especially when a previous patch (in this case, 1.2.20.2) might have introduced unforeseen quirks or failed to fully resolve a targeted bug. While specific line items for 1.2.20.3 are minimal, these sequential hotfixes are usually focused on critical stability or server-side corrections rather than content additions.
With the servers back up, you can now return to your base construction and spice gathering operations. As always with survival games, it is good practice to check your base integrity upon logging in after a maintenance window.
