Upcoming Dune: Awakening patch, version 1.1.20, to result in selected bases crashing, stirring enthusiasm among the game's survival MMO community for the anticipated "disarray" once the update becomes live.
The developers of Dune: Awakening have announced that they will be releasing the 1.1.20 patch on August 12, 2025. This update is set to bring significant changes to the game, particularly addressing an issue that has caused controversy among players.
One of the main changes in the 1.1.20 patch is the fix for a bug that allowed players to build Pentashields without proper structural support. This change means that any Pentashields built only attached to each other, without being properly connected to walls or supported structures, will collapse when the patch goes live. Players are strongly advised to rebuild their Pentashield formations properly before the update to avoid losing their bases.
This fix is significant as it targets an exploit that has led to the construction of unsupported Pentashield bases, causing disruption and frustration within the player community. With many bases relying solely on these constructions, their collapse will lead to a wave of uproar and chaos.
Beyond this, the 1.1.20 patch also includes other gameplay updates. For instance, riding Sandworms will now be fatal, and measures have been taken to prevent ornithopter griefing. These changes are expected to improve the overall gameplay experience.
The news of the 1.1.20 patch has sparked discussions in online threads, with players expressing a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Some are happy about the upcoming changes, particularly the fix for the Pentashield exploit, which they see as "about time." Others, however, are concerned, as they enjoy using Pentashield-only structures in the game.
In the past, Funcom, the developers of Dune: Awakening, have apologised for destructive updates that left many players without bases and hard-earned equipment. With this in mind, players are encouraged to stay vigilant and prepare for the changes the 1.1.20 patch will bring.
