Dune: Awakening hotfix: character transfers are back and the Recycler stops crashing

Funcom has pushed another small but welcome hotfix for Dune: Awakening on Steam. It requires a client-side download, so if the update doesn’t start on its own, restart your Steam client. Servers were going down for the deployment and were set to come back up shortly after.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when you opened the Recycler while your inventory contained certain items.

• Fixed an issue that prevented players in single-player mode who had logged out in Arrakeen, Harko Village, or Overland map locations before Patch 1.5.20.0 from travelling away from those locations after updating.

• Fixed an issue where scrolling could fail to work in certain inventories.

• The major edge-case issue affecting character transfers has been resolved and the feature is enabled again.

What it means for you

The biggest item here is character transfers. Funcom says they should now work as intended, but there’s still a very rare chance of an edge-case failure. If your transfer goes wrong, contact customer support – the team will treat those cases with the highest priority. We also covered the earlier round of Q73 transfer errors in a separate article.

The single-player fix is a direct follow-up to the one from the previous hotfix. If you logged out inside Arrakeen and Harko Village before Patch 1.5.20.0 and then couldn’t travel anywhere after updating, your save is usable again. For the full picture of what that update brought, see our write-up of patch 1.5.20.0.

For the list of known issues, head to the official Discord server or the Steam discussion boards. And if you want to keep track of every change, we collect them all in our Dune: Awakening news hub.
