Dune: Awakening 1.2.40.0 Patch Notes Add Character Transfers

Dune: Awakening update 1.2.40.0 is not a massive content drop, but it does add one feature players have been waiting on: character transfers. The patch also includes smaller fixes for crafting, vehicles, UI, and base backup management.

Dune: Awakening Update 1.2.40.0 Highlights

The biggest addition in update 1.2.40.0 is full character transfer support. Players can now move a character to a new Sietch and World while keeping inventory, bank contents, Solari, backed-up bases, and backed-up vehicles.

That is especially useful if friends are playing elsewhere or if a server move makes more sense for your group. Instead of starting over with a new character, you can bring your current progress with you, provided you follow the transfer requirements.

The patch also adds a confirmation prompt before forgetting a backed-up base in the Base Reconstruction Tool. That extra step should help prevent accidental deletions, which is nice because losing a base backup to one bad click is nobody's idea of strategic gameplay.

Fixes

Resources, Building, and Crafting

• Fixed an issue preventing bases from being placed close to No Building Zones with the Base Reconstruction Tool.
• Fixed an issue preventing bases from being placed with the Base Reconstruction Tool when a blocking volume was too close vertically to the landclaim.

Vehicles

• Fixed an issue where harnessed vehicles sometimes failed to appear after travelling back to Hagga Basin with the ornithopter transporter.

User Interface

• Fixed a typo in the Holographic Room Sign.
