Players in Dune: Awakening have encountered a persistent bug affecting the assault thopter vehicle. The usual control key 'E' to enter the thopter becomes unresponsive, forcing players to rely on the menu key 'F' instead. This issue remains even after returning to the main menu and reloading the game, suggesting a lasting control glitch. Reported from the Shoel area and discussed on Reddit, the bug impacts vehicle usability and player mobility, complicating traversal and combat strategies. No official fix has been announced as of mid-July 2026.
- Bug disables 'E' key for assault thopter access.
