Dune: Awakening Public Test Client: Patch 1.4.10.0 (10th June 2026)
Five new Landsraad missions and significant performance improvements hit the Public Test Client today.
Patch 1.4.10.0 is now live on Dune: Awakening's Public Test Client, and it's heavy on optimization work. The studio has tackled shadow rendering, memory usage, and overall performance across Hagga Basin, the kind of under-the-hood cleanup that doesn't sound flashy but makes a real difference when you're exploring for hours.
On the content side, you're getting five new Landsraad missions split between Hagga Basin and Smuggler's Run. More importantly, Funcom has rebalanced ornithopter combat. Players can no longer stand on flying vehicles at higher speeds, which closes off some unintended PvP tactics that were giving certain builds an unfair edge. You can still mount them at lower speeds, so it's a targeted fix rather than a blanket removal.
There's also a quality-of-life change to the UNSTUCK menu, it now teleports you to the dungeon start inside Overland map dungeons instead of hunting for the nearest valid spot. Head to the Steam Discussion Board or the PTC Discord to share your feedback once you've tested these changes.

Highlights
- Five new Landsraad missions across Hagga Basin and Smuggler’s Run!
- Optimized the memory usage for shadows at a distance.
- Tweaked shadow display settings to improve game performance without sacrificing visual quality.
- Did some under-the-hood cleanup in Hagga Basin to improve the overall game performance.
- Made the cargo container heavier so that it is not easily pushed around by other vehicles.
- Players are now pushed off ornithopters at higher speeds. Standing on a flying vehicle enabled unintended combat tactics, particularly in PvP. You can still stand on ornithopters at lower speeds.
- The UNSTUCK menu feature will now work differently inside Overland map dungeons by teleporting the player to the start location. Outside of overland map dungeons the behavior will be the same as before - it will attempt to find the closest valid spot and teleport the player to that location.
