More tweaks than a Mentat’s spice trip — and the sandworm’s still hungry

If you thought patch notes couldn’t be exciting, Funcom just dropped a novel-sized update to Dune: Awakening that says otherwise.

This update isn’t just a quality-of-life pass — it’s a full-on sand-blasted overhaul: over 300+ tweaks, bug fixes, and exploit eliminations meant to bring stability, balance, and some much-needed peace to Arrakis… for now.

🛠️ TOP CHANGES THAT HIT HARDER THAN A SHAI-HULUD HEADBUTT:

• SANDSTORM PHYSICS FIXEDNo more floating debris or phantom damage in low-visibility — sandstorms now behave like actual storms and not haunted dust bowls.

• STAMINA SYSTEM BALANCEDYou can now sprint without collapsing after six feet.Combat pacing is smoother, and climbing doesn’t feel like a punishment from the Emperor himself.

• BUILDING SYSTEM REVAMPEDFoundations are snappier, placement is tighter, and that bug where your entire base would collapse for no reason? Obliterated.

• VEHICLE GLITCHES SQUASHEDOrnithopters now fly like they’re supposed to, not like broken shopping carts. Also: collision physics no longer send you to the moon.

• EXPLOITS TERMINATEDGone are the days of infinite spice farming, duplication tricks, and “god mode” inventory stacking. If you were a glitch-goblin, RIP.

• 
  

🧠 AI ENEMIES & NPCS ACTUALLY THINK NOW

They take cover, they flank, and they don’t just run in circles like sand-chickens. Expect more challenge from raiders, spice smugglers, and Fremen patrols.

🔥 PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

FPS bumps, load time cuts, and overall better heat management during heavy combat and raids. It won’t fry your rig like it used to — unless you’re still gaming on a toaster.

🎤 SLICK’S TAKE

This ain’t just a patch — it’s a reboot. Dune: Awakening is finally starting to feel like the survival MMO we were promised instead of a glorified bug sandbox. With over 300 fixes, this is the kind of update that could drag players back from exile and turn spice farmers into spice warriors.

Funcom didn’t just squash bugs — they buried them in the deep desert with no crysknife funeral.
