After a short one-hour siesta, the Dune: Awakening servers have been revived with Hotfix 1.1.0.13. It dropped on June 12, 2025, and while it’s not a content bomb, it’s exactly what early access players needed: stability, bug squashing, and some awkward dialogue patch-ups.
If you were mid-betrayal or stuck whispering sweet nothings to a broken NPC, this patch might be your salvation.
🔧 What’s in the 1.1.0.13 Patch Notes?
Server and Performance:
- Backend & Client Stability Boosts: Fewer crash-to-desktops, fewer lag spikes, and less time screaming at the respawn screen.
- Server-Side Cleanup: This should mean fewer disconnects post-patch, especially after restarts.
Mission Fixes:
- Impact of Ecology Contract: You can’t betray Jocasta Cleo anymore—not because you shouldn’t, but because it was bugging out the mission loop. This is a temporary lockout.
- Planetologist: The Search for Kynes: Fixed a soft-lock if you defected from House Atreides mid-arc. No more staring at your screen wondering why NPCs forgot your name.
Quality of Life:
- Guild Descriptions Editable Again: Type away, guild leaders. Your edgy sandworm quotes are once more editable.
- Base Blueprint Naming Works: Rename your base like it’s 2005 and you’re saving a custom Halo 2 map.
- Limit CPU Usage Toggle: Now actually affects presets, meaning your PC might stop sounding like it’s trying to take off.
⏳ Maintenance Mania: What’s the Schedule?
Expect daily maintenance windows around 10 AM CEST for now. These 60-minute breaks are giving Funcom time to roll out quickfire hotfixes while they tighten the screws ahead of full launch.
Players have mixed feelings on this. Some are applauding the rapid updates (“yo, they’re working!”), while others are frustrated by the constant interruptions (“yo, I was grinding!”).
It’s the double-edged crysknife of early access, folks.
🎮 Patch History Speedrun (1.1.0.x Series)
- 1.1.0.11 (June 10): Focused on more stability and UI improvements in streamer mode. Probably saved a few Twitch careers.
- 1.1.0.9 & 1.1.0.7 (June 7-8): Smoother party syncing, fixed UI confusion with “Visit” vs. “Join,” and killed some melee lag demons in PvP.
Each of these micro-patches shows a dev team in full triage mode—small but mighty improvements stacking up.
📢 How to Get the Patch
- Restart Steam: Seriously. Don’t just minimize it. Close and relaunch or you might be playing on ghost data.
- Watch the Warnings: Servers typically drop a 1-hour warning pre-maintenance. Keep tabs on the Dune: Awakening official X account or Steam community page to avoid mid-raid heartbreak.
✨ Final Thoughts: A Good Patch for a Gritty Grind
It’s not a sexy patch—no new loot, no new PvP events, no dramatic spice storms. But it’s one of those foundational ones that matter. Your game should crash less, break fewer quests, and maybe even sound quieter (shoutout to the CPU cap fix).
Dune: Awakening is clearly still in the “build-the-ship-while-flying” stage of early access. But hey, at least they’re flying it daily.
