Dune: Awakening launched its Early Access yesterday and now brings the first patch, which seemed to have surprised many players with its server down.
What is this patch? Patch 1.1.0.5 brings a hotfix, announced yesterday shortly after 10:00 AM CEST (via X), which probably went unnoticed by many players.
Because on Reddit many users are asking for an in-game timer or similar reminders for the server downtime, as they missed the announcement.
What’s in the hotfix you can learn here.

This is what the hotfix brought into the game: In addition to an improvement in general server stability, a new pop-up notification was added that appears when a player clicks on the “Private” tab in the server browser to inform them that private servers are managed by external third parties.
Additionally, the following issues were fixed:
- A problem was fixed where the menu of certain player base placement elements would not load when the player rapidly switched between placement elements using the Q and E keys.
- A problem was fixed that sometimes suggested players a server that was not the closest one in the region.
- A problem was fixed that caused players to get stuck in the boss room of the imperial test station #002 by removing the pentashield doors.
- A problem was fixed that sometimes caused NPCs in the Arrakeen social center to get stuck in place.
The patch has now been implemented and the servers are back online. You can directly play with the new improvements if you have access to Early Access. You can obtain this if you are the owner of the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition.
Dune: Awakening is already launching successfully, while currently only players with access to Early Access can enjoy the new survival game.
