Dune: Awakening – official patch notes for 1.1.0.15
CHANGES
- Respawn timeout in PvP zones was adjusted. The first respawn will take 70 seconds, second and following respawns will take 115 seconds.
- The Dvyetz Ornithopter Engine Mk5 Schematic was removed from loot tables, as it was a deprecated item.
- Players no longer receive damage when hit by vehicles.
- Since the Unstuck feature doesn’t work for vehicles and when the player is on the Overland Map, the Unstuck button won’t show when the player is on or in a vehicle or on the Overland map.
- Service messages like server restart alerts now appear at the upper central part of the screen for better visibility. (used to be in the upper-right corner)
- An additional safeguard was added when a player respawns across maps: Players now need to manually type “Respawn” into the confirmation popup field.
- When players select the Private servers tab in the Server Browser, they will receive a notification pop-up.
- Another set of changes to further improve the game server and client stability.
FIXES
- Fixed an issue where the game client could freeze when the player attempted to cross the Deep Desert server border.
- Fixed an issue where players who shared their base access with friends could not sometimes abandon their base via a map marker.
- Fixed an issue that caused the dart trails from the Maula Pistol to sometimes deviate from the intended direction.
- Fixed an issue where the Atreides Leader that the player needed to kill in The Advanced Contract – Mentat – Cataloging Defectors contact respawned immediately.
- Fixed an issue that caused a possible crash when restoring a vehicle with the Vehicle Backup Tool.
- Fixed an issue that made it possible to move Crysknifes into storage containers by swapping them with other items.
- Fixed an issue causing the Landsraad refining time reduction bonus not to apply if multiple instances of the same resource were being refined simultaneously.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the player to lose Solaris deposited in the bank.
- Fixed an issue where service alert notifications would not show due to being blocked by other notifications.
- Fixed an issue where exiting the dialogue with Anton Tolliver too soon after delivering the “Deep Extraction” contract would block the player from progressing the faction storyline.
- Fixed an exploit where players could damage other players’ bases with a cutteray.
- Fixed an issue where Research Journey steps wouldn’t get completed retroactively if the player was in a vehicle when performing research. Logging out and back into the game was needed to fix the issue.
- Fixed an exploit causing people to be able to take out water from a deathstill that did not exist in the base.
- Fixed an exploit where players could fire a salvo of projectiles.
What do I need to know about Dune: Awakening? The new survival MMO from Funcom was released on June 10, 2025, for PC and takes you to the desert planet Arrakis. However, you won’t find the familiar storyline from the books or films but rather an alternative timeline where Paul Atreides was never born.
Hunger, thirst, sun, aggressive enemies – from the first minute, survival is the focus of Dune: Awakening. By continually building better tools, equipment, bases, vehicles, and weapons, you will increasingly ease your daily life, allowing you to focus more on exploring the game world, mastering dungeons, or experiencing the story.
In large parts of the game world, you can encounter up to 39 other players. Exceptions include the two faction capitals and the Deep Desert, a vast endgame area where PvP is active almost everywhere and which fundamentally changes every week due to a storm.
