This hotfix requires a client-side download. Remember to restart your Steam client if the download does not appear automatically for you. Servers will be coming back up shortly. For the list of known issues, please visit our Discord server or Steam discussion boards. FIXESFixed a crash that occurred when players opened the Recycle while their inventory contained certain items. Fixed an issue that prevented players in single-player mode who had logged out in Arrakeen, Harko Village, or Overland map locations before Patch 1.5.20.0 from travelling away from those locations after updating. Fixed an issue where scrolling could fail to work in certain inventories. We’ve resolved the major edge-case issue affecting character transfers and have re-enabled the feature. While transfers should now work as intended, there remains a very rare possibility of an edge-case failure. If you encounter any issues with character transfer, please reach out to our customer support team, who will treat your case with the highest priority.

A Go Online button allows players to get back online. Fixed an issue where small shipwrecks could stop appearing. The Sardaukar Killer and The Great Convention achievements now unlock as intended. Players who should already have them will receive them retroactively. Single player custom server settings are now saved to the cloud, so they carry over when you continue the same save on another device. Tweaked the placement boxes for Rug of the Desert Flyers and Sardaukar Carpet to make them easier to place close to other objects such as walls. Fixed water generation in single player where it was not progressing correctly while the player was offline or on another map. Several technical and stability fixes. Fixed multiple reported issues with the world and terrain geometry. Mining yields now show per resource on the infocards. Read the full patch notes document in our webpage here.

Dune: Awakening PTC Patch 1.5.15.0 Lets Players Opt Out of BattlEye in Solo and Private Play
Patch 1.5.15.0 has landed on Dune: Awakening's Public Test Client, carrying a modest but consequential set of changes authored by Pickle Riki and published September 30, 2026.
What changed
Optional BattlEye: Players can now launch the game without BattlEye anti-cheat installed or enabled — but only for single-player mode or private and self-hosted servers that do not require it. BattlEye remains mandatory on multiplayer servers that have it enabled; attempting to join one without it triggers an error.
Scout ornithopter glide penalty reduced: The speed reduction while gliding with a scout ornithopter fitted with a rocket pod module drops from 20% to 10%. The patch notes flag this figure as provisional, with further tuning planned across both scout and assault ornithopters during the PTC period.
Crash fix: An issue that could crash the game when using the Base Reconstruction Tool to place a large base has been resolved.
New-player experience tweak: A shielded enemy in the introductory sequence now gives newcomers more time to land a Heavy Attack before the enemy retaliates.
Progression fixes: Multiple issues affecting Story and player Journey progression have been addressed.
Stability: Several game and server stability improvements are included.
For players who run solo sessions or host their own servers, the BattlEye opt-out is the substantive shift here — removing a layer of software overhead that was previously unavoidable regardless of how or where the game was being played.

Dune: Awakening's Filmic Archive DLC Brings Film-Accurate Looks for $9.99
Published September 22, 2026, the Filmic Archive DLC for Dune: Awakening is now live on Steam, priced at $9.99. The add-on draws its visual identity from Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, translating film-accurate designs into the game's character and base-building systems.
What's included
Iconic armors and stillsuits inspired by the films, including the Caladan Stormcoat worn by Duke Leto and Paul in Part One
The Aegis of an Unwalked Path armor, drawn from Paul Atreides' visions of Fremen holy warriors in Part Two
73 new building pieces for constructing a Sardaukar-themed base
Exclusive decorative pieces, weapons, and emotes
The DLC lands shortly after what the developers describe as one of the game's most significant updates — one that introduced a full single-player mode, the conclusion to Book One's story, scalable difficulty, and new gameplay customization options.
Separately, the base game is currently discounted by 50%, the Deluxe Edition by 36%, and the Ultimate Edition by 28% — figures the announcement describes as the deepest discounts the game has seen. Other additions made to the PC version over time include optional PvP, an expanded endgame, and new explorable areas, though the source does not specify when those arrived.
For players who have been waiting for a more complete package, the combination of a single-player mode and a record-low price makes this a meaningfully different proposition than the game at launch.
