Dune: Awakeningdeveloper Funcom released the patch notes for Update Version 1.1.15.0, improving the endgame for both PvE and PvP players. Released just last month,Dune: Awakeninghas become one of the most successful titles of 2025, receiving high praise from players and critics alike. Though it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the hardcore desert survival MMO, its enduring player base, despite the minor hiccups, seems to be hooked on the gameplay loop the developers created.
Just a few days ago, Funcom released a major patch that madehuge changes to the endgame ofDune: Awakening. Notably, the PvE zone, which previously took up one-ninth of the Deep Desert, was increased to cover roughly half of the entire map, giving solo players a safe place to farm Tier 6 resources. Patch 1.1.15.0 is a much smaller update by comparison, but no less important, as it makes significant gameplay adjustments that may vastly change how the game is played.
In an official announcement on theDune: Awakeningwebsite,Funcom revealed the 1.1.15.0 patch notes, a roughly 1.1 GB update that is already live at the time of this writing. The blog post also clarifies that while most of the changes introduced by this patch should already be live, some may require downtime that will be announced via in-game notifications, if needed. Most changes in Patch 1.1.15.0 are aimed at improving the endgame PvE content in theDeep Desert ofDune: Awakening.
One of the big improvements in this patch is that Tier 6 resources will now be more common in the Deep Desert PvE zone. Previously, Tier 6 resources in the safe zones were spread far apart, making efficient mining impossible. This was done to give players a reason to head into the more dangerous, but more rewarding, PvP zone where resources were more densely packed. Now, players should find Tier 6 materials more abundant in the PvE areas, though still not to the extent of what can be found in thePvP section of the Deep Desert.
Other changes include increasing the time it takes to leave the PvP zones, makingDune: Awakening’s Landsraad tasksmete out rewards even after the primary objective has been achieved, randomizing Uniques in the Deep Desert, and reworking spice fields.
A client-side hotfix was also released for Steam users a few hours after Patch 1.1.15.0, fixing “Connection Lost Generic” errors that may occur when connecting to certain regions in the Hagga Basin.
