Dune Awakening patch fixes item duping glitch, hopefully for the last time
A new hotfix has been deployed in Dune Awakening that has taken aim at an exploit that has been allowing players to duplicate their most valuable items to their heart's content A fresh hotfix has been rolled out in Dune Awakening, targeting an exploit that enabled players to clone their most precious items. Dune Awakening has been offering gamers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Arrakeen fantasy, even if they won't become the Kwisatz Haderach. Dune's foray into survival gameplay is allowing players to construct their own buildings and carve out a life on Arrakis. PC gamers seem to be drawn to survival games, with the Prologue Go Wayback July playtest grabbing many people's attention and the Steam SimFest discounts providing an easier than ever opportunity to dive into Bohemian England in Manor Lords. However, Dune is a completely different kettle of fish, as Arrakis doesn't exactly follow the rules we're accustomed to, with sandworms and hostile forces constantly posing a threat. Despite the seemingly impossible task of surviving in the sands, players are finding ways to make it work, primarily through glitches. It appears that Dune Awakening players have discovered a method to duplicate their most valuable items at the Exchange, effectively turning the game's currencies and item rarities into putty in their hands. This isn't ideal for the game's developers, so they've swiftly implemented a significant fix before players could respond. Here's all you need to know about the latest Dune Awakening hotfix.

Dune Awakening dupes dupers Funcom has announced that its recent downtime has resulted in the implementation of a new hotfix, which has removed an exploit from the game that allowed players to duplicate their items at the Exchange. This, along with other changes, will make the game more stable. According to the Dune Awakening website, here's everything that was included in the hotfix: Improved server and client stability. Fixed an additional instance of the issue where players were sometimes unable to travel from Arrakeen and Harko Village to the Overland Map. Fixed an edge case issue where inventory items could get missing after travelling between the maps. Fixed an issue with invisible inventory items when the player moved the items between inventories and quickly swapped their positions in the target inventory. Fixed a vulnerability that allowed item duplication at the Exchange, while trading or in inventories. Visually, you may see duplicated items on your game client, but they don't exist. Fixed an issue where players were unable to connect to the game, receiving the H74 error code message. This is certainly good news for the game's structure, but it's likely that some players will be disappointed that the exploit that made them king of the dune, particularly as this system of replicating items, has become a significant part of the game. It might be time to go out and actually earn your resources. Sorry about that.

Dune Awakening beta start time and how you can join the fight
Arrakis is in need of a protector, and it could be you, as you have the opportunity to access Dune Awakening ahead of time to test its first hours of its story. Your chance to show Arrakis who's boss is finally here with a wide beta test for Dune Awakening, giving you access to the first portion of gameplay for the survival title. If you watched Paul Atreides climb to become the Lisan Al'Gaib, Duke of Atreides and steward to Arrakis and thought, 'I bet I could do that,' I've got some bad news for you. It's almost impossible, and frankly, you're going to have a hard enough time simply finding water when your Arrakeen adventure finally begins. Dune Awakening is almost here, and is set to give you the chance to test your survival skills on the least hospitable planet in the charted universe. It's been a very exciting prospect, especially since Denis Villeneuve 's movies, but getting the chance to explore Frank Herbert 's iconic world is reason enough to be excited, full of ruins, bases and face-offs with the Shai Hulud themselves. It comes at a good time, too, as survival fans are being treated with peeks behind the curtain after the recent Prologue: Go Wayback playtest. The game's incoming beta is set to offer you a chance to try it out for yourself before the game launches, but it already comes with some alterations to the core game – as the beta only offers a look into the first few chapters of the planned game, it will ask you to select a class between four choices, rather than give you the free reign to unlock them yourself in skill trees, as you won't earn enough skill points to bag them all. Changes are bound to be made, but that doesn't mean that this won't be a compelling peek into Arrakis' gameplay – and the Dune Awakening beta is a great opportunity to get a taste of what we'll get with the final game. So, when is the Dune Awakening beta start time, and how can you get involved? Here's what you need to know. Dune Awakening beta start time and how to join The Dune Awakening beta start time is 5am PDT / 8am EDT / 1pm BST on Friday, May 9, with the beta coming to a close at 2.59pm PDT / 5.59pm EDT / 10.59 BST on Monday, May 12. The beta, unlike previous opportunities to play a build of the game, has no NDA, so expect a lot of footage and details to be revealed to the public about the game during this time. If you want to join the beta, there are three steps to complete, with the completion of all three steps increasing your chances of earning a code. First, you'll want to add the game to your wishlist on Steam and click the 'Request Access' button via its Steam page. Sign up with your email on the Dune Awakening website, and then failing that, you'll want to tune into the Global LAN Party Broadcast on the Funcom Twitch channel, where the game's team will be dishing out tens of thousands of beta codes. There are a few options to consider, but it could be worth ticking through all of them if you want the chance to play the first 20-25 hours of Dune Awakening's gameplay. Though you might have a little less time than others if you get your code from the LAN Party stream, you'll at least have access for a couple of days, so you can make the most of your Arrakeen holiday. May thy knife chip and shatter.
