Dune Awakening players are moving their most valuable resources to the bank, thinking hackers have been raiding their supposedly safe bases

by

In multiplayer games, cheaters and hackers can really ruin the experience, but it’s especially frustrating when they interfere with PvE (Player versus Environment). Currently, Dune: Awakening is encountering an unusual problem: an increasing number of players are reporting that valuables in their supposedly secure bases are mysteriously disappearing.

Why bases are getting raided in Dune Awakening

In the gaming world of Dune: Awakening, there’s a massive following, which inevitably brings about eccentric thoughts and actions that can be hard to forecast. Remember the incident when players began assaulting each other on foot using their ornithopters? It was an unusual form of combat with no clear defense mechanism! Despite immersing yourself for 100 hours and enjoying every moment, it’s undeniable that it has its share of imperfections.

This recent problem is particularly vexing, especially for solo players who shouldn’t need to fret over base raids. However, it’s not as straightforward as you might assume. In fact, users have been reporting missing items since the duplication bug was rectified. Yet, confirming this wasn’t simple either, as on many occasions, the supposedly “missing” resources were actually duplicated ones that were being cleared up.

Now, some PvE players are complaining that their items are vanishing from their secure areas. While a few believe their possessions may have simply been moved to a different storage location, others assert they’ve witnessed individuals inside their bases, leading them to deposit their belongings in the bank for safety.

And with today’s dev announcement, we’ve finally got some answers:

On July 7th, we made a modification to the Deep Desert layout that inadvertently turned certain PvE zones into PvP areas. Unfortunately, this mistake resulted in many players losing their bases and gear due to our development process and communication errors.

As a gamer, I’m excited to let you know that we are working hard to compensate players affected by this situation. By the end of the week, you should see the reimbursed items, materials, and vehicle parts in your in-game ‘Claim Rewards’ tab. Stay tuned!

If you’ve noticed missing items from your base in the Deep Desert region, it could potentially be due to the updates made on July 7th.

Alongside their discussion, the development team has highlighted their efforts in combating cyber-attacks and rectifying vulnerabilities. In forthcoming updates, they plan to enhance security measures and communication between clients and servers, perform additional tests for potential weaknesses, and scrutinize items and inventory management to prevent duplication.
