Dune: Awakening Patch 1.1.10.0 Brings Major Fixes and Gameplay Improvements
2025-07-02 23:26:12Funcom has rolled out the highly anticipated Patch 1.1.10.0 for their survival MMO Dune: Awakening, delivering numerous fixes and enhancements to the harsh desert world of Arrakis. Since its June release, the game has offered players an alternate timeline from Frank Herbert's iconic universe, where Paul Atreides' story never unfolded. Players engage in spice harvesting, political intrigue, and character customization in this expansive open-world experience.
While Dune: Awakening received positive reviews initially, the community soon raised concerns about rampant griefing, particularly in the Deep Desert region where players exploit ornithopters to trap spice harvesters. The latest patch prioritizes quality-of-life improvements alongside addressing these harassment issues, though some player frustrations remain unresolved.
The comprehensive 1.1.10.0 update introduces several critical fixes:
- Elimination of the resource duplication exploit that allowed unlimited material creation
- Balanced faction attacks (Harkonnen and Atreides) against player bases
- Increased sandworm appearances at recently harvested spice fields
- New unique weapon schematics available at Asmara Efendi's shop
Community response has been mixed - while players appreciate the developer's responsiveness to feedback, some reported server connection issues post-update. Inventory disappearance during travel to the Deep Desert or Hagga Basin via World Map has also emerged as a new concern, though Funcom has already deployed a hotfix.
Endgame content remains a point of contention, as the best loot requires venturing into PvP zones within the Deep Desert. Funcom has promised future updates to improve both PvE and PvP endgame experiences, aiming to extend gameplay longevity while reducing frustration.
