Creating a multiplayer game has its challenges. Of course, the first one is to attract enough players for the game to be profitable and for the community to have fun. However, it works also the other way around. When you host thousands of people on servers, something may go wrong. We experience it right now in Dune Awakening. Players report being stuck on the connecting screen and other server issues. However, developers are working right now to solve it.

Connection issues in Dune Awakening

As of now, it is unknown what causes the connectivity issues. However, we know that developers are fully aware of that. A couple of hours ago they announced on the official Discord:

Hey all, we're looking into the issue with connecting to the servers.

And just a few minutes ago we received a follow-up message:

Greetings again, we are still working on server connectivity and travel via overland map on some servers. Additionally, we are aware The Anvil world is down and are also working to restore service. Thank you for your patience while we continue to work on this.

As you can see, developers try to fix the issue as we speak. If you experience problems with connecting to the servers, you may want to change games for a couple of hours and simply wait for the problem to fix itself, as it surely will.

In the meantime, you can check out some of our Dune Awakening guides like how to enter Wreck of the Hephaestus, avoid worms or get Thermoelectric Cooler. We also can tell you what to do with Ship Manifest, if you are puzzled by this item.
