MMOs like Dune: Awakening heavily depend on the performance of their servers. Without functioning servers, it's impossible to log on and play, as there is no single-player alternative. The servers can go down both expectedly during maintenance periods and accidentally.
It's important to verify the status of a game's servers before joining a session with your friends. Let's dive into how to check the Dune: Awakening server status, troubleshoot potential problems and find solutions for client-side issues.
Are Dune Awakening servers down?
As of June 13, the game servers are functioning as expected. Although June 12 experienced global outages across thousands of services, with subsidiaries of massive companies like Google, Nintendo, and Sony among the many impacted, Dune: Awakening wasn't part of this mix. Instead, it had scheduled maintenance around the same time.
Many factors can influence a game's status, from scheduled maintenance for bug fixes, reduced lag and stuttering, and content updates to unexpected outages, such as the one on June 12 that affected most of the web. Dune: Awakening's servers are operational at the time of writing, though this could change at a moment's notice. Although this issue was mainly prevalent during its beta testing periods, it can still occur after its full launch as well. In these cases, it's best to wait patiently in case you're unable to log in.
How to check Dune Awakening server status
There are no official tracking tools from Funcom to check Dune: Awakening's server status. Instead, you can use a mix of official announcement posts on Steam and social media and unofficial tools to learn more. Here are some suggested places to check:
- Dune: Awakening's Steam community hub
- Official Dune: Awakening social media pages like Twitter (X)
- The official Dune: Awakening Discord server
- Dune: Awakening's Reddit page
- Unofficial Dune: Awakening server status trackers
The best places to check are the game's official X account and Steam community hub, as Funcom typically announces routine maintenance here ahead of time. There will be additional maintenance periods throughout the game's lifespan to accommodate content updates and hotfixes.
Routine updates are part of any MMO, and Dune: Awakening isn't any different. Once we have planned maintenance times available, we will update this guide accordingly.
What if it isn't a scheduled maintenance period, though? What if, instead, you're experiencing a client-side issue? If there's no evidence suggesting the problem lies in a server-side error or outage, you can use the steps below as quick, easy fixes for most bugs:
- Check Dune: Awakening's download page for new updates
- Make sure you have a stable internet connection
- Close any background applications that can interfere with Dune: Awakening
- Check the game's server status
- Restart your PC or console
- Verify your game's files
- Uninstall and reinstall Dune: Awakening's
- Uninstall and reinstall Steam, if applicable
While these steps aren't guaranteed to fix every issue, they're often the quickest and easiest way to solve minor problems. If you're experiencing an error that no one else seems to have, you can also contact Funcom's customer support page for a more detailed troubleshooting process and potential solutions specific to your circumstances.
