Dune: Awakening has received its first major update to improve server stability following its release for "head start" players. The hotfix, implemented by Funcom, enhances performance and addresses various gameplay issues that players faced. Notably, players will now be informed about privately managed servers, and several bugs, including menu loading issues and NPC glitches, have been fixed. Despite these initial challenges, Dune: Awakening has already reached a peak of nearly 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, highlighting the game's strong community interest and engagement.

What improvements were made in the Dune: Awakening hotfix?

The hotfix for Dune: Awakening includes enhanced server stability, a notification system for private servers, and fixes for bugs related to player base placement, server suggestions, and NPC behavior in social hubs.

Dune: Awakening is a survival multiplayer game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's Dune. Players can explore a richly detailed world that expands upon the lore, offering unique gameplay elements that cater both to fans of the Dune franchise and new players alike. Funcom has invested significant effort into worldbuilding, enriching gameplay with features tied to the diverse factions and characters that populate this environment. This creative take allows Dune: Awakening to stand apart from the original book and movie narratives, providing a fresh experience for players.
