by

Summary

  • Dune Awakening patch 1.1.0.5 focuses on improving stability and tackling bugs to enhance the player experience.
  • Pre-ordered special edition players have already benefited from these improvements ahead of the official release.
  • The patch also addresses issues like placeable object loading, NPC bugs, and server proximity suggestions.

The initial update for “Dune Awakening” has been rolled out after its early access phase, offering enhancements to stability and resolving some initial glitches. While the official launch for non-preordered Deluxe or Ultimate edition players is still a few days away, enthusiastic fans can already experience these improvements before the full game release.

The survival multiplayer game developed by Funcom is based in an alternate timeline within the popular Dune sci-fi universe, where the main character Paul Atreides does not exist. Originally slated to launch on PC on May 20, 2025, the game has been postponed and will now debut on June 10th. Early access for those who bought either of its special editions was granted on June 5th. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are scheduled for a later release.

A single day following the commencement of the beta testing phase on PC, the creators of ‘Dune: Awakening’ rolled out update 1.1.0.5, focusing primarily on resolving certain unnamed stability problems. With over 93,000 players simultaneously engaging in the game on June 5th, ‘Dune: Awakening’ currently boasts highly favorable reviews on Steam. However, some gamers have voiced concerns about crashes, lengthy queue times, and performance glitches. The update’s release notes additionally mention a warning message for players attempting to play the game on private servers, informing them that these servers are managed by external entities rather than Funcom.

In addition to general improvements in performance, the patch details also spotlight several bugs that have been squashed. One of the most significant problems has centered around base building in Dune: Awakening. Some players have run into trouble with objects not loading correctly in the base building menu when switching between tabs too rapidly, but it seems this issue is now a thing of the past. Other troubleshooted glitches include NPCs freezing in place at the Arrakeen Social Hub, players getting stuck within the Testing Station #002 boos room, and players being advised to join servers that were not geographically nearest to them.

Despite some gamers encountering graphical glitches and extended loading times, a large number are giving Funcom the leniency they deserve, understanding that the game hasn’t officially launched until June 10. Praise for Dune: Awakening is centered around its authentic portrayal of the source material’s harsh environment through its thrilling sandworm attacks, compelling survival elements, tough combat sequences, and user-friendly base construction system.
