Dune: Awakening experienced some downtime earlier today as Funcom deployed the latest patch. As of now, the game should be back online. Gamers enjoying the MMO on Steam should be able to download today’s patch immediately to get the newest fixes and improvements. If you aren’t seeing the update right away, try restarting the Steam client. This update is a smaller one, focused on changes and updates to make the game run more smoothly. As such, you won’t see major new content when you head back to Arrakis after installing.
Major highlights for today’s Dune: Awakening update include changes to improve client and server stability. A few dialogue lines and quest issues have also been ironed out. Notably, you will no longer be able to betray Jocasta Cleo during the “Impact of Ecology” contract until Funcom resolves a glitch with that decision line. In all, today’s update is a relatively straightforward patch that should nevertheless make the gaming experience better.

Given the plan for daily patches, it’s likely we’ll see another update for the game in the near future. So, plan for potential Dune: Awakening downtime again in the coming days.
