Players of Dune: Awakening are experiencing drastic frame rate drops whenever sandstorms occur in the game. Reports indicate FPS falling from a stable 31-35 down to as low as 5-7, severely impacting combat and movement. This issue affects all map locations and appeared after recent hotfixes aimed at fixing frame drop problems. The performance degradation disrupts gameplay during dynamic weather events, suggesting the hotfixes may have introduced new optimization challenges or failed to resolve existing ones. Players should expect continued instability during sandstorms until further patches address the problem.
