Player’s Guide — How to Navigate Dune: Awakening After the September 18 Fixes
Got your patch downloaded? Good. Here’s a guide to help players make the most of the September 18 fixes in Dune Awakening Items on sale here. I’ll walk you through what to check, what missions to revisit, what workarounds are gone vs. what to still watch out for, and tips to avoid pitfalls while the game stabilizes.
1. Update First, Reboot Second
-
Ensure your game is updated to version 1.2.0.0 Hotfix 3 (or higher). Patches may require full client download. If Steam or your platform doesn’t show the update, restart the client.
-
Once updated, restart the game to allow state resets (for example inventory sync, mission flags).
2. Revisit Blocked & Broken Quests/Journeys
-
“The Price of Rejection” Mentat Contract
If you were stuck on the Use the Hunter‑Seeker to Assassinate the Informant objective: check your mission log. The informant should now spawn. If not, try abandoning and reacquiring the contract or returning to the mission board. -
“Called to a Count” Journey
For players who crashed or lost progress: there’s now a fail‑safe dialogue option. If you can’t trigger the “Talk to Count Fenring” step, go back to Elara and select “You said Fenring wants to see me” again. That step should force the event.
3. Inventory & Crafting Tips
-
The invisible item glitch is fixed moving forward. If you have items in your inventory that seem “invisible” or unusable, note them; the devs said affected accounts will be addressed later. It may not instantly restore those items.
-
Try avoiding switching Sietches if you have ongoing crafting in cases where you haven’t yet updated, but after the patch this should be safer.
4. Vehicle‑Related Fixes
-
Handbrake now works when bounding spacebar. Experiment with vehicle control, especially in PvP zones or rough terrain; you may find it easier to avoid crashing or sliding.
-
If your vehicle was previously pushed underground by a sandworm or got stuck, check whether recovery or reimbursement is possible: earlier patches promised reimbursements for vehicles or items lost due to bugs. While not every vehicle may be recovered automatically, it’s worth submitting a ticket or checking the in‑game Claim Rewards.
5. Deep Desert / Landsraad Dynamics
-
Contracts in the Landsraad should now remain visible/relevant for the proper duration. If you noticed contracts vanishing early, keep an eye on whether the server’s time matches what’s listed. Servers in different regions might have had the bug; check your local server.
-
When decrees like “Right of Salvage” or others apply, read the descriptions carefully: they’ve been corrected to reflect that some effects only apply to PvP zones in the Deep Desert. Don’t assume everything in the Deep Desert is fair game anymore.
6. Still Be Cautious Where Bugs Persist
-
The inventory loss when traveling may still occur under rare conditions. Keep valuable items stored or back up before making zone transitions.
-
Certain vehicle/terrain glitches, esp. with sandworms, may still happen. Avoid leaving vehicles in vulnerable positions.
-
Be wary of environmental or mission‑trigger bugs that might require patience (sometimes waiting or reloading) until the fix has fully propagated or affected your account.
7. Feedback Loop: Report What Doesn’t Work
-
If you still see quest objectives failing to spawn, or dialog crashes, send bug reports. Take screenshots, note server region, mission name, time, etc.
-
On Steam, Discord, or official forums, check known issues threads. If something new emerges, others might be experiencing it too.
-
For missing items, especially invisible or stuck inventory, track via support/ticket system. The devs have indicated they’ll follow up on accounts already affected.
Conclusion
This Dune Awakening Items U4GM September 18 update is more than just a patch—it’s a reset button on many recurring frustrations. If you update, revisit stuck content, and adjust how you handle travel, inventory, and mission buildup, your play‑experience should improve noticeably. Still, as with many live games, some issues will linger a bit longer, but with Devs actively addressing them, the future looks more stable. Happy exploring on Arrakis—may your bases hold firm, your quests proceed, and your handbrake finally save you from ruin.
