| Symptom | Most reported on | Official status |

| Texture streaming hitches in dense areas | Xbox Series X | No published root cause; tracked for hotfixes |
| Connection errors | All console | Online-only; check network and server status |
Try this before reporting
A short, safe checklist that resolves most session-level problems:
- Install the latest patch; as of launch week, hotfixes shipped September 19, 21 and 22, and most ‘it’s broken’ reports were fixed by September 22’s build.
- Fully close and restart the app (not just suspend).
- Restart the console to clear cached state.
- Verify network: Dune: Awakening is online-only — UI lag can be latency, not rendering.
- Check server status in-game and official channels during maintenance windows.
When to report
If an issue reproduces across restarts and platforms-agnostic checks, report to Funcom support with a video and your platform/region. Reproducible reports get fixed faster; official patch notes are the source of truth for what changed.
