What helps in practice
Console-specific mitigation is limited by the in-game options available on PS5, but the practical checklist is:
- Update the game to the latest patch before judging performance — hotfixes landed September 19, 21 and 22 alongside the console release.
- Restart the app after large updates; first-launch shader/asset work settles after the first session.
- Check network quality — Dune: Awakening is online-only; lag in UI-heavy actions is often latency, not rendering.
- Report reproducible issues to Funcom support; official patch notes are the source of truth for fixes.
