Dune: Awakening Hotfix 1.5.20.1 Fixes a Recycle Crash and Restores Transfers
The hotfix also corrects a single-player travel lock for characters left in Arrakeen, Harko Village, or Overland locations before version 1.5.20.0.
Dune: Awakening’s Hotfix 1.5.20.1 fixes a crash involving the Recycle and restores character transfers after resolving a major edge-case issue. It also addresses a travel lock that affected some single-player characters after the previous patch. Version 1.5.20.0 had just added offline play in single-player, alongside cloud-saved custom server settings.
Players who logged out in Arrakeen, Harko Village, or Overland map locations before Patch 1.5.20.0 could not travel away from those locations after updating. The hotfix fixes that problem, along with scrolling failures in certain inventories.
Character transfers are available again, although a very rare edge-case failure remains possible. Funcom asks players who encounter transfer problems to contact customer support, which will treat those cases with the highest priority. The change follows the Nov. 3 hotfix for Error 972, which could leave characters missing or displayed at level 0 in the main menu.
Funcom’s Steam announcement says the hotfix requires a client-side download and that servers would be coming back up shortly. Restart the Steam client if the download does not appear automatically.
